One year after...

...my last blog. I've been seriously busy.

I can tell you, this was the most fun year so far. We've travelled to Argentina and visited my family in Holland. I've gotten to share more time with my nephew Ethan and got to know him a little better. I've made a lot of new friends. We partied hard this year. Life is good.

It's funny how life has many twists and turns and that when looking back, things don't always work out the way you think they might. Even though at the time it seems sad or unfair that a certain thing is happening to you, hindside it usually turned out for the best. Point is, whichever way life takes you, you can never imagine where it leads you and how things can be so much more different or better. I don't know if that means that some things are just meant to be or not, because often you can let life happen to you or you make life happen. Which one is best?

An interesting thought and maybe something I won't figure out until I'm older and (hopefully) wiser.
For the time being, I do a little bit of both. Let life happen, let some things follow its natural course, and also aim to accomplish your goals.
