It’s sometimes strange that we only seem to reflect on life when it comes to the end of the year.
As Autumn slows down the pace of everyday life we are left with a window before the Christmas break begins where we tend to think about the past year, where we are now and what we need in the approaching new year. I have not blogged in a while with the exception of poetry and believe me life has been a roller coaster ride this year.
Sometimes changes occur not just one at a time, but life can be altered all at once. A birth, a death, a new or end of a relationship can always make us change the way we live in an instant. That has certainly been the case with me this year, but it certainly is not the first, nor will it be the last time that this happens.
When the routine patterns in life change we need to adapt and change with it or we will certainly be left behind. Life can stand still for periods of time, but on the other hand, it can all change in an instant. Certainly this year has been one of change, yet I never regret anything that has happened as it makes us who we are as people. On each New Year’s Eve I always read back over my old blogs, both public and personal, and see how I have changed and grown as a person.
2013 is rapidly approaching, and I have some significant decisions to make. Career wise things are going great, but I guess the key question is about where I will live. Do I stay in Sweden or maybe venture to a new country? Whatever happens I just take each month as it comes, I never plan to far ahead otherwise the dreams that we have can often crumble around us.
Life is always going to be full of ups and downs, but it does mean to say that we have to stop. As long as we keep moving forward in life with a positive approach and attitude then there is little that can stop us from being what we want to be.
2013 promises to be just as eventful as any other year before. But I promise myself that I will always give 100% to all that I have. It is the only way I know.
