I worked hard, I did a lot. And still the work is not finished. Now that I write this I realize again that it might never be finished. Maybe that’s not a bad thing. It’s evening now, the day is over. The time of today is running out. I did what I could and better allow myself to rest now. Tomorrow is another day. We’ll see how far we get then. Today I didn’t finish the work and tomorrow I probably...

I don’t feel like writing, because it’s 10pm and I want to sleep. For a moment I thought about stop writing and breaking my streak, but then I thought about how several days I actually write something nice and how I would miss that if I give up writing now. So that’s why just write some words quickly now before I go to sleep. I’ve been writing for about 120 days in a row now, so I’ll keep going. S...

“It sure has benefits to be single”, my friend remarks as he sees my house for the first time. He adds that his wife would probably not let him decorate their house like I’ve done. I tell him that I’m very thankful for my house indeed. Though when he says that I also wonder how it would be if I had a girlfriend. Life sure would be different. Maybe one day I’ll find someone who fits me and my style...

Fun and laughter can lighten the soul. A few beers might help as well. With a smile on my face on my way home I realize that I feel a lot more relaxed than earlier in the day. After a fun night with friends I’ve forgotten about the work stress and can just ease into the weekend. That’s why moments of relaxation are so essential. You cannot be on edge continuously. You have to let go of it all from...

While eating fastfood again tonight, I thought ‘it’s enough’. I’ve been working hard and it’s causing other important things to suffer. More than two weeks without seeing a gym and several days without eating a home-cooked meal is not okay. From next week on my priorities will be different again. Working out in the mornings will become non-negotiable again and going out for dinner is off the table...

Another day has flown by. I worked really hard and I am tired now. I really like my work, but I’m starting to feel that it’s taking up too much time and space in my life. I haven’t been in the gym for weeks and I’m also behind on my reading and studying. I tell myself it’s temporary and that when work will become a bit quieter I’ll make time for those things again, but when will that be? How long ...

I’m feeling exhausted. Two nights of bad sleep is taking its toll. I try to close my eyes while in the train to a work appointment, but my mind keeps racing. It feels like my head is working over hours. So many things to think about, worry about, making decisions about. I take a deep breath and try to let it all go for a moment. Another breath in and out. Grounding myself in the present moment. At...

Another day is almost over. It just went by so quickly again. It was a full day, with work and some relaxation. It just seems a short moment ago that I got up this morning and now suddenly it’s the end of the day again. On one hand it sometimes makes me a bit sad of how fast time goes. On the other hand it’s a great reminder to live life fully and to enjoy every day. I often remind myself that thi...

Walking in the forest I enjoy the sight of snow. Except from the wind blowing and people walking by from time to time, it’s pretty quiet. I enjoy being by myself, though I do send a few messages to my mom to share the enjoyment. Adventure Sundays are one my favorite things. After a busy week of work it’s so nice to be out in nature and just seeing where the day will go. It often brings me very rel...

It’s fun to be an uncle. You don’t have to be very strict to the children, that’s their parents responsibility. You can just have a great time with them and be like a super big friend. The moment when they run towards you with a big smile is priceless. Children are real and pure, I love that. It helps that I’m still a child at heart, that makes it a lot easier to connect. Of course I’m a grown up,...
