Happy, Happy New Year

If the year of 2012 was dedicated to 'coupons & bonuses', 2013 was the year of great travels. I look forward to finding out what 2014 is about.

Possibly, this will be the year of CHANGES. One big change definately will be: Dominik leaves the nursery and attends the school. The faces, the tasks, the duties all will change and I also change the complete furniture of the kid's bedroom. Furthermore, it was high time to replace my cellular phone to a smart one.

Naturally, there are a couple of decisions with the beginning of the new year in order to improve, develop, encourage and train myself and lead our life best. The most challenging thing is to budget my time well. It is said that no matter how much time you have, the point is that how you spend it. Since time is the only resource that never can be increased and the only resource that I have some fears about, it is very important not to just let it go. On the other hand, this involves the risk of being exaggerated. Recently I feel more and more that I have to make myself to slow down otherwise something bad will happen. Should study the principles of the 'slow movement'...

There are not only new decisions but also new targets, new plans and new projects. Also having amazing new trips up my sleeve. I wish to bring Dominik to the Santa Claus Village at the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, Lapland this year. This would be nice till he firmly believes in Santa's magic.
