My dad has a colleague whom I have known since my childhood. During the construction works he also visited me and my husband to help some minor construction works done.
Today I met him again in my parents home. He asked me how is living in our new home. And then he asked me when there would be any news about our offspring.
I politely replied that I am way too old for that now.

Really? My 46th birthday is only weeks away and I was asked this silly question.
But then I thought about this question a bit further and decided that it is actually a compliment, when you are asked this question when 46. I guess I look younger than my actual age : )
I am a 50-something European woman doing what I once thought wasn't possible: finding happiness after infertility. While it's been a long, difficult and emotional journey (10 unsuccessful IVF treatments), each day I take another step down the path toward a fulfilling new life. This is my story of reinvention.

Happy & Healthy New Year!
First of all: a happy & healthy new year to all of you, my dear readers. In my country we always wish for happiness and health for the new year.
I know that most of new year resolutions don't last very long, but still. I will try.
I decided that from now on I will dedicate the focus of the new year to one thing.
The previous few years were dedicated to accepting my childless life and finding my happiness again. Done (at least most of the times).
Last year was dedicated to building our new home. Done.
And this year: I will dedicate to getting my slim & fit body back again & to have my stomach healthy again (to handle my heart burn issues).
I won't be writing about this issues on my blog (since it is boring to most of the people). But... if you have any advice on my New Year's resolution, I would love to hear from you on: klara.soncek (@) gmail.com

We have had beautiful sunny winter for the last month, so I spent most of my free time walking through forest my beloved Wolf. A photo attached. Being lots of time outside on fresh air is so therapeutic!

I daily read BBC news and sometimes I find titles that bring sad memories back. Like this title:IVF couple have triplets after sex mistake.
I don't want to go into any details, but let me write only this. While being on IVF, my body was so miserable that having sex was the last thing on my mind.
Luckily BBC has also this old article: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-northern-ireland-44967791/ivf-woman-we-just-decided-that-enough-was-enough
about enough is enough. I loved her sentence: "People will look at you and say: Oh my Godness, I understand. But nobody understands unless you actually went through it."
Exactly.

In the winter me and I husband are Netflix addicts for two months (and then HBO Go additicts for the next two months).
We have just watched on Netflix Private Life: https://www.netflix.com/si/title/80168222
It is brilliant! We both loved it.
