Those special days between Christmas and New Year… you look back and at the same time wonder what might come, hoping everything will be getting better.

Winter solstice at last! In contrast to the summer solstice, this dark time of year fills me deep down with anticipation for longer and brighter days.

I have to admit, I didn’t start the new week very enthusiastically, which had begun gray and dark. I had the feeling that all days consisted of nothing but night.

This week I involuntarily received a refresher course on how life works and that it doesn’t always go the way you want it to. But what you can do is make the best of it.

After I thought I had overcome my cold, the cold started all over again at the beginning of the week and shaped the rest of my daily routine.
