Moving on :)

WhenDoorCloses

When I moved to Canada I received a card from my boyfriend’s mom with the above message on it. She was right! Even though the next years weren’t easy, doors started opening, just as she said they would.

The most recent door closed a few weeks ago. It has been closed for years, in an unspoken-kind-of-way, but part of me was still holding on to that life that no longer exists. Future Antje knows that she simply outgrew her past life.

Lesson learned: You can’t go back in the past – but, if you dare to dream, the doors just keep opening 🙂 Looking forward to adventures in the New Year!

Final Marks

I just submitted the last set of final marks for this semester. Feeling good and exhausted – like that time Olivera and I were so excited to be done with our paper in Dublin that we went to the pool and took over the lane for professional swimmers.

Next on my list: Prepare for Spring courses. Bake cookies. Celebrate Christmas. Sleep. Drink coffee on our lovely deck.

Happy happy Holidays sweet friends and family <3
