It was incredibly cold today, but the Sun was shining, so it was calling us on an adventure. We discovered Flughafensee. I can’t get enough of Berlin’s lakes. We also saw some people taking a dive, that was quite painful to watch, in the minus degrees. But the snow, the mostly frozen lake, the swans and ducks compensated us for the cold. Even the sand was frozen. It took a while to warm up at home, but it was well worth it.
I wish weekends were longer.
I woke up to a Berlin covered in snow. When the city gets white, it changes everything. People are outside with kids, building snowmen (and snow women), the mood gets lighter and merrier. Even the Sun came out today. It was beautiful.
Covid has taken away the privilege from us to be able to plan things. 3 years ago, I posted a picture of Budapest in the night, captioning it as a farewell on my way home to Berlin, promising to return to Hungary for a visit in April.
I wish I could plan with travelling in spring.
My new job is keeping me focused, but I miss the Danube. Let’s hope I can see it again around the summer.
I find comfort in the slightly longer days nowadays. These times are testing our patience and persistence, but everything’s temporary. So one day, we will be able to plan and travel again.
Until then, seek comfort in whatever gives you hope.
The numbers are going down in Germany – it seems that the stricter rules have an impact, finally. However, it will be a long time before we can travel again. I can’t wait for the times we heal from this pandemic. But that time will come. Nothing lasts forever. Hopefully, we will come out wiser on the other side. Let’s stay positive.
Even if planning is impossible nowadays.
How tidy my home is always shows how much or how little I am in balance. It’s a mirror inwards.
After the chaos of the exhaustion of the weekend, I tidied up today. It makes a huge difference. I already feel more at ease.
If you feel frustrated, try to make your living space more organized. It will help tremendously. Also, tidying up is one of the chores I like. There’s a clear, visible difference between the result and how you started. You can see the progress. Even if it can be a bit tiring, it is well worth the effort.
“The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down”
I have someone I can be vulnerable and raw with. On top of time, that’s the greatest gift one can give.
This is an amazing bubble, safe from any harm or fear.
Thank you. You know who you are.
We are accidents waiting to happen.
I am as exhausted as I haven’t been in a long while. I got an amazing opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone and grow. It’s somewhat scary sometimes, super interesting, fun and tiring. I am learning so much.
I am grateful for the weekend. I hope it will let all the new knowledge settle in my head.
In the coming months, I just need to trust myself and do my best. So grateful for that.
