Showing posts with the label happiness

Over a year later...

     Last time I wrote here, I was 5 weeks pregnant. I had high hopes that finally the little baby would end up in my arms after 9 months. I had my doubts as well, knowing my history, but hope beat fear. And here I am, 16 months later, with the most beautiful baby girl who loves and trusts me with her whole being. She amazes me every day, brightens every aspect of my life, and gives me great hopes for the future. I think every one of us needs a bit of 'baby therapy' to be reminded of the beauty of life, of its purpose, and the simple things that bring happiness - like a toy wrapper, the silky labels on things, the voice of somebody you love.      I love life, I love my little family, I love to love. I want to keep this feeling with me when things go wrong, when I am losing hope, and when life is not as neat as I would like it. In the end, love is what pulls me through.

The end can be a new beginning

   The end of 2014 was beautiful! We got to spend our days with family - both of our families, even though they were in different countries. It was wonderful! 2014 was a tough year for me, but overall, it was a beautiful year. The end made it memorable.    The end of 2014 is my beginning for a beautiful 2015. It is my determination to stay happy, no matter what comes my way. I believe with love, faith, and hope, I can stay happy even if hurt, disappointment, change come my way.    I have some pictures to remind me of love and joy, all from the end of 2014, the beginning of more hope and motivation to stay happy.

Changes

It's interesting how when we talk about changes, we think of "take it one step at a time". It would make it easier, right? I am more of a "radical" changer - well, life makes me do that :D I was so used to working at OMV- even though I was unhappy, stressed, and tired all the time. Then I got called for an interview, and everything changed. It was the first real interview that I had ever gone to. I thought it would be nerve wrecking, and that I would end up making a fool of myself - it went the other way: I went in confident, and I made a good impression. It was an interview for a job at a computer store and service. I do not have a lot of knowledge about it, so here I am now, having a job in a field that I like, pushing my limits by learning new things every day. I had no idea when I started that it would be such a challenge! And oh, how I love it! Changes: fix schedule (8 to 5 job, Mo-Fri), free weekends, no girls (no offence to girls, but I do enjoy the d...
