"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential."

Ellen Goodman
 

Today is the last day of 2012 and it is once again when people look back in time and realize what they have done throughout the year. A lot of things have happend in my life. I passed nursingschool and I am so thankful it's over. Worked at a hostpital which was amazing. Moved to Oslo - I wrote in a post a couple of months ago "I have doubted my decision, enjoyed life, cried rivers and laughed so hard that tears have streamed from my eyes". Five months later - today - I would say I'm happy! Life is an adventure. It sounds so cliche but it is true!

Idag är det den sista dagen av 2012, och återigen ser människor tillbaka i tiden och inser vad de har gjort under året. Det har hänt en massa saker i mitt liv. Jag klarade sjuksköterskeutbildningen och jag är så tacksam att det är över. Arbetat på ett sjukhus, NÄL - vilket var fantastiskt. Flyttat till Oslo - Jag skrev i ett inlägg för ett par månader sedan "Jag har tvivlat på mitt beslut, njutit av livet, gråtit floder och skrattat tårar har strömmat ner för mina kinder". Fem månader senare - i dag - skulle jag säga att jag är lycklig! Livet är ett äventyr. Det låter kliché, men det är sant!



"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." 
Walt Disney



I'm curious.. what is going to happen this year - will I meet someone special, win the lottery - would be fantastic! I would like to know what will be the most embarrassing thing I will do this year - would be good to be mentally prepared! Will I manage to keep my New Year resolution - live a more healthy life (hahha, never gonna happend)! I love candy and sweets too much! Anyway I hope you're ready for another big year - Wishing You all great success and happiness in 2013!!

Jag är nyfiken.. vad kommer att hända i år - kommer jag träffar någon speciell, vinna på lotteri - skulle vara fantastiskt! Jag skulle vilja veta vad som kommer att vara den mest pinsamma situation jag utsätter mig för i år - skulle vara skönt att vara mentalt förberedd! Kommer jag lyckas hålla mitt nyårslöfte - leva ett mer nyttigt liv (hahha, kommer aldrig att ske)! Älskar godis och sötsaker för mycket! Hur som helst hoppas jag att Ni är redo för ett nytt stort år - önska er alla stor framgång och lycka i 2013!

    1. Thank you! I'm so happy you like the illustrations. Some times I can use a photo from a magazine as an inspiration., and almost every time I have to listen to some kind of music. Makes the creativity flow ^^
