One year is gone and I am laying on my couch in Hamburg working on my website and suddenly I got a feeling and start writing. It’s the 21st of December and in 3 days will be Christmas ?. Those 3 days are full of work, getting important tasks done before the holidays. And on 24th at 6.50 am my girlfriend and I head towards Austria by plane. This year will be the strangest Christmas ever. And I am pretty sure yours too. Corona changed so much and we all have to recognize how fragile our life is. How fast flying can become a privilege or how hard it is to be locked inside your apartment. All those restrictions made me realize how I cherish being in nature, to feel the fresh air while running, or just being outside and enjoying nature.
I hope that we will have a safe and corona-free journey on Wednesday without any problems. I am looking forward to coming home for Christmas and to see my family again. I am looking forward to all the amazing cookies and sweet-dishes and I am looking forward to finally realize that it is Christmas. Because it feels so surreal to me. The last month felt like 3 days and now it’s just 3 days left before I will sleep in my old bed again at my parent’s place in the southeastern corner of Austria. Time is flying by.
The end of the the year is always the best time for me to reflect on the past year. And I am already on it. I am doing the „2021 Start Strong Challenge“ with the lifebook community. If you don’t know what lifebook is, don’t worry I will write an article about it or if you don’t want to wait you can ask google 😉 Lifebook is a great self development program I discovered this year and I will share more about it.
But back to Christmas. I don’t know how you guys are but I am buying presents in the last week before Christmas. Unfortunately, stores are closed now in Germany and now we rely on Amazon and Co. My girlfriend and I bought our gifts together. That’s not quite true, mine is waiting at the Nike Store in Vienna ready to pick it up on Wednesday. But there are still two presents missing for my family and that builds up pressure. I hope we find something otherwise we have to get creative.
In the end, I want to say that I am grateful that I can spend the holidays at home and just for the protocol we already had the virus and we will make sure that we are all tested. Please be careful when you visit your loved ones and take precautions. And despite we have to socially distance it is time to unite even more. Love you guys and have a wonderful Christmas. ???
