2025 - twist and turn

 Hello!

I remember 1985. How is the year 2025 even possible? How can I've been around for this long? I mean, 46 isn't ancient, but it's not that young either. I'm grateful though. Life is an adventure and a gift.

What about ideas, plans and dreams for this year and on? To be honest, I'm in a one day at a time mode, and mood. Like most of the time. 

So, what can I do about that? How can I be more creative and find energy to actually start living "bigger" and not only day by day. What happened to all of my dreams and desires?

I'm tired. I'm happy with the daily routine and relaxing with a good series or film by the end of the day. But is this really the truth? Am I actually "happy"? No, of course not. Life goes by slowly, day by day, but at the same time life goes by far too fast.

I want to enjoy life. I want to experience so much more. I want to be in love, not only with a man, but also with life itself.

How will I make this happen? Is that even the right question? Sometimes what we should do, is to surrender. Surrender and be open for what life brings us. 

Surrender, but at the same time still lead our lives every day. Not give up, never. But maybe have some faith and patience, and trust life.

I don't know if that's possible, and it's kind of hard to distinguish between surrendering and just giving up, but I do know life have a way of surprising us. When we least expect it, there comes the twist and turn.

We should be open enough to welcome it.

Be well, take care!

It's beginning to look a lot like....

 Hello!

To all of you out there who might read this, I wish you a happy and merry Christmas. If that's not possible, I mean, this time of year can be a struggle for so many reasons, I'll just say: I see you, I feel for you, I know how hard it can be. Lower your expectations and take care of yourself. You matter.

I'm looking forward to nice and quiet days with my parents and one of my sisters. Food, board games, TV and just being together. I feel a bit off today, might be having a cold. We'll see how it gets. Hopefully I don't get sick, that would be such bad timing.

Don't have that much to write about today, and I know it's been ages since I last posted something. But I'm still here, and I'll try to be more active 2025.

Now, be well! Eat, sleep, do something you enjoy. For me, a good film can never be wrong.

Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed new year!!!
