For the first time in the almost four years of this blog’s life I have not only deleted a couple of comments but even a whole post. I don’t like to do that, I am quite attached to my scribblings, but I guess some time has to be the first.
There is no need to hang on to negativity.
This year, this decade, is coming to an end. Let’s end it together, happy.
When you’re smiling,
when you’re smiling
the whole world smiles with you
When you’re laughing,
when you’re laughing
the sun comes shining through
But when you’re crying
you bring on the rain
so stop your sighing
be happy again!
Keep on smiling,
cause when you’re smiling
the whole world smiles with you!


I’m glad you’ve taken the high road – good for you! What a nice way to end one decade and start the next…
Good girl!!! And thanks for that wonderful photo of Alexander!!
Now THAT is a happy face!!
I am ending it on a happy note too!! I hope to see you again in Florence! kisses from Chicago
Love the picture of Alexander! Happy healthy kids is what life is all about. I agree with you on the deletion as I probably would have deleted the first negative comment. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Just would like to say deletion wasn’t necessary for your post. Probably you feel better with that and I hope you do. On the other hand when you have a blog you are leaving yourself wide open to so many remarks, criticisms etc. Please think about it. Good luck and take a look at the latest Ryan Air news.
Happy New Year
Hey, happy new year Annika!
You are the owner of your blog and you get to do whatever you’d like with it. I’m glad you remember that!
Do what makes you feel better – always.
