Another year has come to an end
(picture from Goolge)
First, I'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year, may
all your goals and hope for the next year come true.
Another years has come to an end, and as I did last year
I thought I'd better make a summary of the year this time
as well.
Shortly, this has been another year that has taught me a lot
about myself but also about life. It's been a challenging year
and I have been growing as a person. It's also been a very busy
year, filled with both laughter and at times sadness. Been a year
where I have got new friends, but also where old friends have left.
A year where I have got to understand over and over again how blessed
I am to have all these amazing people in my life.
Thank you for the past, and for the incoming year!

To finish the last post for the year I'll begin with saying a New year's resolution:
Next year I'll write more posts both in this blog and in my other (camillellen.blogg.se).
Also I wish to read more books.
Also let us work towards to make next year a more positive experience for ourselves and for
people around us. Take time to listen, don't stress and always, always do try to give
away a smile every day. Do your best in every situation you face, allow yourself to now
and then just release all the feelings you keep inside. Try to do more of things you like
to do, stop the running world for a moment and take time for yourself. Be human.
See you next year!
