My Christmas wish

 

I have the same Christmas wish as the last nine years. 

I would like to receive an email from you. 

To know who you are. 

Where you come from. 

Why you read my blog. 

What my blog means to you. 

Has it helped you in any way?

 I promise not to publish your email or misuse it in any way. 

And I promise to write back!

 My email: klara.soncek (at) gmail.com 

I am looking forward to Christmas :)

 

PS: on the photo:  Piran & Christmas lights

Notre Dame

 

The photo was taken just a few weeks ago on my business trip.  

I have been visiting Paris at least once a year for the past five years. I feel privileged to have been able to follow the restoration process and I am very happy that it is now complete.

To see world jewels like Notre Dame is simply priceless!

All the unrecognised losses

I went on a teambuilding & New Year's party with colleagues.

One of the highlights was a visit to the beautiful seaside town of Piran. The company organised a short concert for us.

The classical music was nice. I was listening to the music when suddenly I was overcome by sadness. There was something about the artist that reminded me so much of my beloved nephew who had died. All the sadness that I thought I had left behind just came back. Just because of this perfect music in the perfect place.

On the outside - I hadn't lost anything. He wasn't even my nephew, he was my husband's nephew.

But I had lost so much. I had loved this boy since the day I met him.

It made me think of all the other unrecognised losses.

And in spite of all these losses, I want to live. And when it is hard, I just take it one day at a time.
