...into a new year


photo by laura



I always turn reflective towards the end of a year....actually i think it is a nice thing because among other things it makes me more aware of what i want to try to focus on in the new year that lies ahead. My fysical health forces me to make less plans and do more of the "one day at a time" living........something i still find very hard from time to time.
For me the last year(s) has been a lesson in the fact that what one chooses to see creates ones reality......what one focuses on brightens or darkens ones days...
So i will continue to use this wisdom that this experience is giving me to activly again and again choose to focus on what i am actually well enough to still do when the sadness of all the thing i can not do anymore hits me...because it will......and i will continue to open myself towards the Beauty of life that always is there waiting to be embraced....even in times of challenge....
I will go into this new year with Lauras beautiful image, of the view outside her window, in my mind's eye:
i will look at life...my life....as just as breathtakingly beautiful, open and wide as the nature that sourrounds her home...

for you and your loved ones!

  8. My book group recently read "The Art of Racing in the Rain". The quote "Where the eyes go, the car goes", guides the young father in this story.

    Happy New Year Vibeke!
