Day 326. Age beautifully

   Today I took the emotional roller coaster through all ages of my life until now. I've been a furious child, an overly emotional teenager and ended up as a confident adult. 

   I realized all ages have their benefits and their disadvantages. When you're a kid you depend on your parents for everything but you have no problems whatsoever and life is just a game. When you're a teen you don't know who you are or what you want, you wanna be cool and you still can't be independent, but you're wilder and more full of life, hopes and dreams than you'll ever be. When you're an adult you start facing different problems. Sometimes small ones, other times life changing ones, but you're finally independent, you know who you are, what you want and you can get it. You might not see life as pink as you once did, but you're surely not as confused and emotional as you used to be in adolescence nor are you as intolerant to frustration as you were as a child. You've already been through enough to form your own life perspective and learn your own lessons to prepare you for future problem solving. The only thing that's still missing is wisdom and that will come as well when time is right:)

   You should enjoy the age you have right now and all the benefits that come with it. And then remember that our life purpose should be to age beautifully:) Take the good things of all stages and move on wiser:)

Day 81. About second chances

   

   Each day we have to be creative, starting with what we're eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner, what we're wearing that day, how we're going to school/work, how and when we study for the exams and so on. Today I realized that not always the first idea is also the best. Rushing only leads to facing the bad outcomes of our own decision. That's why we should take our time and ponder more often about the costs and the benefits of that idea and the decision that comes with it. If that doesn't help, second chances might.

   Luckily, in my case, it was just about decorating the Christmas tree from my office in blue, silver and white. Bad call. It looked somehow odd in the end. Pitty I was so enthuziastic about having a second Christmas tree this year that I didn't take time to think if I really liked the result. I just wanted something different and I went with the flow. In the end I had mixed feelings... On one hand, I was disappointed about my blue idea but on the other hand I was happy to have my best friend over and decorate the odd Christmas tree together:) At the end of the day, I gave myself a second chance. Second chances are good sometimes.

   So... all the blue and silver Christmas balls are history (call me perfectionist - also, the photo looks better than reality, trust me). Tomorrow is going to be a brand new day for decorating: Red and White this time:) And it's going to look gorgeous. Santa is red and white, right? He must know something^^

Day 74. Lack of sleep

   I don't know about you but my days of being a night bird are coming to an end since I started working. I'm also behind with my TV Shows and reading is a delicacy only for bus time.

   Even though, these couple weeks I had to work late and also get up early so you can figure out how happy I was in the morning. Today was one of those mornings. But this time I tried to think positive and take out the benefits of these things: being able to help brings you more satisfaction than one or two more hours of sleep, and in the end, this situation is temporary. 

   But... I have to admit. I think I need a vacation. I can't wait for Christmas holidays to be here already:) New, huge Christmas tree and more decorations arrived in my house today! Yaaaay!!! Let it snow!:)
