Two years ago I started a project. I wanted to cross off 101 goals in 1000 days. And to stay on track I have already decided to do an annual goal check-in. Today is the day: I want to see how far I have come. And maybe you also like to have a look. Then follow along:
Let’s start with all the goals that have successfully been crossed of the list.

I was hoping to pick up some more interesting books in June. High five! I had three 5★ books. Something that rarely happens here. So yeah. I did good. Overall I was able to read 7 books. But even though I am keeping track on how much I read and am proud of the amount, please let me make clear reading is a pleasure and no competition. Sometimes with those reports it may give off the feeling inadequacy. I believe the amount of books is not necessarily saying much. I’d rather read one good book instead of three poorly written ones. I’d rather read any book instead of not being able to read. So make sure your are reading for your personal development and not for competition. Ok, enough deep talk. Here are my June books – what I read. Hope you find something that inspires you.

Ans just like that we are in the second half of this year. It is always mind boggling to me how time flies when you are older and drags on while you are child. Remember this long long days, weeks months we had to wait until the next birthday was coming around. And now I feel like I can not even sleep in piece because of all the stress and to-dos that are in my life. Or maybe I am just in an overwhelmed phase. Who knows. Anhow time to do the June Reflections and July intentions to get some clarity on what I want to achieve or maybe NOT achieve.
I have a quote today from my favorite author today.
So sind wir an der Wurzel verfault, vielleicht nicht du als du und nicht ich als ich, aber wir als wir beide.
Die Frau mit dem roten Tuch, Jostein Gaarder
It is alway toughest for me to make this list. But it’s exactly the point why I included it in my reflections. I want to stay true to my word of the year and often times it gets lost in the middle of the year.
After much reflecting it is time to plan the future.
It’s a full month with many things I want to do while at the same time take care of myself. I believe the balance will be my biggest struggle as I have a lot of stuff going on at work and might have put too much on my plate there. Even more important to find some relaxing moments in my free time that rejuvenate me.
I am hoping you have a wonderful summer time and many moments of lovely memories to cherish for many years to come. As always drop a comment and let me know one thing you wish to do in July.
Happy summer

It is 23 minutes before midnight. I am sitting on the balcony and as every year I am thinking and reflecting. It is my way of celebrating turning one more year older. I am not really scared of getting older. For me lighting another candle on the cake is actually something to be happy about. To celebrate. I do think we should and can appreciate making another trip around the sun. Back in the Middle Ages, heck even in some countries I would not turn that age. So yes, I am happy. But I am stalling. Here is my current snapshot of feeling, emotions and things
.I like:
… what this day had in store for me. Many many happy moments, lots of nice messages and a full heart at the end of the day. I could not be happier today.
I can finally sit outside on the balcony again and write my blogposts. It has been a cold and rainy May but with the start of June it is looking like the sun will stay. Or at least the warmer temperatures. Also it looks like Covid is finally on the decline. By Friday life is getting more or less back to normal. While I am not sure what that entails it is definitely a bit of a happy message to receive. So let’s start the new month with May reflections and June intentions. Let’s go.
But before I dive into that here is my favorite quote this month.
