A Little Slice of What’s Been Nice

So… I guess it’s been a very long time between blog posts. Life got in the way and I lost my passion for photography. I lost my passion for a lot of things. I lost my zest for life.

In fact, I spent a few years just plodding along, trying to figure out where I was going and where I actually wanted to be. Lots of things didn’t make sense but I began to discover parts of myself that I never even knew existed. I learned that I had gotten wiser. While it felt like life was happening around me, I had actually been participating in it to the Nth degree. I had matured and rather than fighting it, this time, it felt nice.

Along the line, there were lots of ups and downs. However, I’m proud of how far I’ve come and for once in my life, I can actually say that I am happy.

I’m happy with where my life is going at the moment. I’m happy with who I’ve become and the person that I will be. I’m happy with my career, my financial position, my emotional and my physical health. I am happy that I can see the bigger picture now, rather than focusing on all of the small parts and giving them a bigger role than they should have in the larger scheme of things.

This year, I’ve been very lucky to have been able to welcome an amazing soul into my world. I’ve spent a lot of my time with him over on his part of the planet and even though our relationship has faced its own unique challenges, I can bravely say that this man lights up my life and makes me feel a little bit more courageous every day to tackle all that this universe could possibly throw at me.

This is him – my sunshine, min solstråle ☀️

Even though things have sometimes been tough, thank you, Espen, for putting the smile back on my face and for deepening the laugh lines around my eyes and on my cheeks. I am a lucky woman to have you in my life. You inspire me to be better at everything that I put my heart into.

I am looking forward to a lifetime of more adventures with you!
