Looking back at 2012




Last year, with a few exceptions,  was a very very tough one for me. Strangely, it seems it was the case for quite a lot of people too.
I've had to make some very hard decisions in both; my personal and professional life. I also lost my dear Grandpa, who I miss every single day.  Not even to mention we had the end of the world to top it all off! What did you do that day? I went out and had a blast dancing my night away, if I was going to die, it wouldn't have been the worst way to go, what do you think? Anyway, I am so glad it's over and I am opening a new page in the book of the life of Saule, you know?

There were definitely a lot of positives that made up the 2012 - I kicked a few bad habits (smoking, laziness and some bad friends), which has made me a better and much happier person. Spiritually, I have managed to find new highs and I feel a great sense of achievement in there. And and and.. I started this little blog of mine, which is a place for me to pour out my ideas, joy of travel and food porn and hope I find some likeminded wonderful people. I have already met a few, all thanks to this little hobby. Amazing!
I also visited some amazing corners of the world, where I fell in love with beautiful places people and food. All in all, I came out stronger and I already know this year is and going to be the best I've had so far.

I decided to remember only the happiest moments of last year with only one exception below;

RIP my wonderful Grandpa. I love you.














Happy 2013!! Hope you're all to a great start already.

I'm sorry to hear you had a difficult year last year and that you lost your Grandpa. From reading your blog it certainly seems that you fill your life with things that make you happy so I'm sure that skill will stand you in great stead for a wonderful 2013 :) xo
