It is Friday. Personally Friday is my favorite day of the week. It is the day before the weekend, the day to look back on a full week, the day of the local grocery market in our village and mostly a day where Conrad and me spend the evening together with a good movie and some nice red wine. What could be better? So today I am looking back at the last weeks, the first two months of this year and what has happened so far.

The days are so short it is barely light outside it is freezing cold and most of the time you get wet feet when walking down the road to just get some groceries. Basically you just want to cuddle on the couch have tea (or hot wine) and watch "Game of Thrones" all day long. Then I found this little quote somewhere on the internet and I couldn't get it out of my head and started smiling every time I read it If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. Maya Angelou And then I had to remember what happend last year around this time. I live in a small village of 13000 habitants.
