Lost in Translation

2013 – Retrospective

2013 was not an easy year for me, but travels made a difference.

My new mindset – My mind is capable of greater things than being miserable.

Kiss from a rose

Life on Mars?

In love with Paris

Three is a crowd

Life is like a circle, and someday if we travel in opposite directions on the circle we will meet again.

Flirting with Italy

A gift from heavens

Wars are prone to interpretation, but will never be forgotten

Look on the bright side of life!

Unrealistic expectations

Hope to the world

Here’s to a better, more simple 2014. What’ll it be? Courvoisier?

  Keep pouring Dinkerson 🙂 Simple can be overrated 😉 (Drama provides inspiration)

    I avoid it at all costs. Complexity is welcome, but the very large part of me that is not an artist needs distance from drama.
    Speaking of inspiration, your blog has provided some fine inspiration for me this year.

      That’s big Dinkerson :). I’ll take it as a “thank you” and I will say the same to you 🙂 For a guy that tends to avoid it at all costs, you are very good at spotting it :D. 🙂 🙂 My best to you and your family!

2013 wasn’t a great year for us either. We didn’t exactly go backwards but we also did not advance. We’re definitely going to do something about that.

I wish you all the best in 2014, Paula. Keep on shooting.

And you made me think about it. 2013 was not an easy year for me either. But better than other years, and with a good perspective (better mindset :D) things can only get better.
