Happy 40th birthday to me

It was easy always saying how old I was...Until the day came some days ago, when I turned 40. It sounds old, isn't it? But I saw many weeks ago a very nice quote saying "They say we not age by years but by stories we have to tell". Yes, absolutely right and I have a lot of them to tell. And yes age is nothing but a number at the end, as I never feel like I am 40 already.
Turning 30 ten years ago was way harder. I was always thinking like, with 30 you have to finally get serious, maybe settle down, and I was always saying now I am old, I could not even have blue hair again. You see I was pretty silly when I turned 30, cause since then I got crazier than I ever was before.
My birthday started in the morning with a completely swollen and closed right eye :-( I couldn't believe that a mosquito bit me in the night that bad. So I went to my 2 classes that day as a one-eyed Jack. Had a lovely breakfast with my 2 beautiful friends Isi and Bella, followed by some apple cider at the beach afterwards. As my very good friend Seno had also birthday, the whole squad met at the Od Man's Bar at 5 pm for the happy hour and some beers and wine. Forgot to mention that, of course, it rained like crazy that evening.
A bit more tipsy that maybe I wanted, my birthday ended at a live reggae performance, my favorite band played a lot of my beloved reggae songs and happy birthday for me, we were dancing and singing. The evening ended of course the way my last birthday parties always ended...but what happens in Canggu, stays in Canggu :-) and for this reason absolutely no pictures from the reggae place :-)
Big big thanks to everybody who called and texted me that day, I got so many lovely messages from all over the world. And even if I had such a great day here with my Bali family, I kept all my friends and family from home in my mind and heart <3

Dreadlocks

And here they are...My beloved dreadlocks, I was dreaming about so many years :-) Most of my friends texted me yesterday and they exactly knew, what was the next step on my "one day" list.
I was dreaming having dreadlocks for many many years, but my office job, of course, didn't allowed me having some and I had also a short hair cut for the past 15 years. But as soon as I knew I will go, I started growing my hair. And today finally my maybe biggest dream turned into reality.

One day....

Some time ago I started writing a list with things I would like to do one day... Some of them were more "would love to" some of them were "facing my fears". Meanwhile I did a lot of things I never thought I would to...And today is the day when I am going to do something I wished nearly my whole life....Guess what point is going to be true today?
