Mich hat ein kleiner Kater erwischt, aber alles in allem sind wir sicher und glücklich in 2013 gelandet.
Und weil meine Freundin es mir heute gezeigt hat und ich es so toll, inspirierend und wahr finde, möchte ich Neil Gaiman's New Year's Wish mit euch teilen:
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
Superschöne Worte, die er da gefunden hat, wie ich finde. Wer mit dem Englischen Schwierigkeiten hat, kann den Text durch den Google Translator jagen und bekommt (in Etwa) sinnvolles heraus. :)
Und da Neil statt mir nun genug geschrieben hat um zum Nachdenken anzuregen, zeige ich euch einfach noch ein paar Silvesterfotos:
In diesem Sinne nochmals: ein frohes Neues! Auf ein tolles, bloggerfreudiges, erfolgreiches und kommentierfreudiges Jahr. :)
