The last year has been ful of
changes and self-realization. Finishing uni, fighting the black dog and
learning more about myself and how to work with my thoughts and my life, starting a job, first problems and first joys of it and of course mostly just casual
simple days filled with work, family and friends.
So… 2013 is over and I am a
happy person. I have a loving and supportive family, a home (even though rented
for now), a job, a wonderful boyfriend
and a lot of good friends. There are clothes in my wardrobe, cosmetics in my
bathroom, plants on my windowsil, books in my bookcase, blankets on my bed and
some money on my account and there really isn’t a thing that could make me
happier or more satisfied than I am now.
I am coming to think that the
more THINGS I have, the more cluttered my home and my mind really is and the
more complicated life gets. So this year maybe my most important resolution is
to live simply. To enjoy little things, that do not cost money and are nice and
ordinary, yet often not fully appreciated. Sunshine on my face, wind in my hair,
swimming in a pool, eating good food, reading a nice book, meeting a dear
friend, watching the rain fall in the garden, seeing a plant grow or hearing a
snail eat in the middle of the night… and being thankful for being able to
experience all that.

I did not draw the mandala myself, I bought a book of mandalas to colour. I probably could not draw a mandala perfect like this. I found they are really relaxing to colour though, it takes me into another world, really :)
