Sorry for those of you who don't speak Finnish - this won't be translated... Let's just say that I wish part of this were true, and that would be the reason for my "silence" lately ;-)))

Suddenly I realize that summer is almost over!

How did this happen ??!?

As I mentioned in my last post from May (!!), time is flying by... Back then, I was busy doing all the things I love: having fun, seeing my friends, travelling, meeting new people, spending time in the mountains, doing sports...

Unfortunately time can also fly by when you're working too much - and hence forgetting to do the previously mentioned things...
Although it's not easy to say, I have to admit that the reason for my silence during these past months is the latter - my life has been limited to work :-(

I regret to say this, but now I've got the feeling that I wake up and realize that summer is almost over and that I've forgotten to live it... There've been some highlights that I've "squeezed in": my dad's 60th birthday, some close friends' weddings etc, but there've been even more events that I've missed out on - as well as many small daily pleasures...

I guess that the main thing that has given some kind of a balance to my life - and the only one who hasn't really been impacted by the time I've spent working (thanks to remote connections and my "home office") - is my dear Ollie ;-)
Luckily she's always there, always demanding her share of my time and forcing me to take a break: to go for a walk, play or simply to take care of her...
But now, time has come to take care of myself as well ;-)

Why am I writing this post? Shouldn't I be sharing only "happy things" here??
Hmm, I guess it's simply to thank my friends & family who've been there anyway, and say I'm sorry for all those times I couldn't join you...
Many questions are still open: what do I want to do with my life? where do I want to live? what is my future? ... But the most important thing is clear - I have people around me that I love and who care!
