Wow.. Another year huh? And what a year it's been. I'm happy and proud of everything I've accomplished, and the recent year has indeed been an interesting one. A lot of travelling and a lot of different homes. I'm proud of my own efforts, I really am. I'm also proud of all my loved one's efforts, and happy for their achievements and success. And what better way to welcome a new year than out in nature with my family, around a fire next to the ocean. The arctic ocean sure, but that didn't stop my brother and my sister's boyfriend to go for a quick dip in the icy salt water. (I thought about joining them but got too bothered by the thought of getting THAT cold)
My hair smells of campfire smoke and it's quite comforting, as I'm lying here in my bed, ready to fall asleep soon and wake up in the morning to meet another dark day. The scent reminds me of so many good times, all in good company. Today I realised that I really am at my happiest when I'm outdoors, and I really should for that reason choose to start a life in a country that allows me to be outdoors around the clock (- and year). Even if it was dark today - as all days here - one could still see the outlines of a couple of mountains, and hear the waves gently roll onto the shore. It was beautiful and a perfect end of 2013 and a perfect beginning of 2014.
Soon I will stand on familiar ground again, and the sun will shine on me. This year will be another great year of learnings and more growing, new connections and deepening of connections. I will go to the places that are calling on me and enjoy all the freedom I have. More adventures awaits!
