I was in doubt whether I should write anything at the end of this year but I guess everything is worth a review. This was indeed a year of contradictions.
On the one hand, it seems to have been the most scanty year within the last decade… Even the emptiness of this blog page will confirm the same. If I look back to this year it appears to be a grey field with some flashes of great memories. It’s probably still due to the beginning of a new life and getting used to a new situation, land, people, circumstances. Maybe the change has been too striking – from “far too much” to “almost nothing”, from “non-stop activities” to “rather routine”. But I’m not complaining and I’m not disappointed about this year – every journey begins with one small step.
On the other hand, there were still many events to remember and to be thankful for. First of all, my best friends got married and luckily I managed to be present at both weddings. We spent another three wonderful days on the water with our great salsa-floating team and we had a great time celebrating Arthur’s birthday on the beach in Jurmala. There were plenty of salsa-merengue-bachata steps made and we had lots of fun during Amsterdam and Berlin Salsa Festivals. And, the most important, I spent precious time with my family and I’m extremely grateful I have my sister right next to me now.
I am letting this year go and I am looking forward to what the next year brings. Let the next decade begin great!
Happy New Year! Gelukkig Nieuwjaar! Laimīgu Jauno gadu! С Новым годом!
