Today was a special day in my country. Our Queen Beatrix resigned and her oldest son Willem-Alexander is now our new king.

So filled with national pride, I put on my brand new bikini from Drift, that has a special dutch print!  Thank you Kallisto Destiny for loving us dutchies!

Our new king has a big passion for sports and he sure loves boats! So in his honor I had to add a boat into my pics today!
(Thank you Sam Laszlo for lending me your boat!)

My fellow blogger Rose (NamiNaeko Resident), recently posted a MEME on her blog, that I have been wanting to do.  She’s asking us bloggers to answer 10 questions about life.

If you like this MEME and wanna join in the fun be sure to check out the original post for all the details:
http://therosieposieblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/trpb-blogger-meme-the-real-me-is-sota-unprefect/

My picture below is showing the gorgeous new skin release from Belleza, named Mya. I dolled up with Untamed hair from Analog Dog and the gorgeous new Ardent eyes from IKON.

On to the questions:

1. What is the thing you fear most in the world above dying (that is if you fear death)?

• Pretty heavy question to start this MEME with, but I’ll give it a try. I honestly never thought about what would be my biggest fear in life. I think I’m most afraid of letting life pass me by. With this I mean I often don’t do things because I assume I will fail at them or other will be better anyway. Or I am scared that things will end badly and I might end up hurt. I hope to overcome fears and make the most out of life, and in no way let it pass me by.

2. When’s the last time you sat down and contemplated where your life was going, and what did you concluded from that?

• I am currently dealing with a lot in my life so this is actually a day to day routine. My overal conclusion is that my life is a mess but that nothing is impossible and that I just need to work hard to make it better. 

3. If you could give any one person in the world a wish, a wish you knew you could grant, what would it be, and why would you give it to them?

• This is a hard one, because there’s so many loved ones I’d wish nothing but happiness.  But this wish goes out to a special little girl from New York. I’m sure her biggest wish right now is for her daddy to get better. If in any way possible I’d grant her that wish  

4. Cat, dog, rabbit, horse, chicken, dolphin? There are so many animals in the world, if you could be one, and had to think, act, be like one, with out human thoughts, emotions, perception of the world, which would you be, and why?

• I’d love to be a bird  Fly to the south when it gets cold, eat whatever comes by, see the world. Oh and shit on annoying people and ugly cars *grins*

5. Today is the last day you’ll ever see your family. Some you may love, some you may hate, other you may not have any emotional attachment to. What would you do?

• I’d forgive whatever issues there have been and truly enjoy the day as much as possible. Why waist precious time with any other feelings but love and respect? 

6. Given the chance to travel to one country -ONLY – in your whole life, other than the one you’ve grown up in, or have found yourself living in (pretend you’ve gone to no other country in the world other than the one you now call home) where would it be? Why, and for how long?

• I’d say USA, it’s big, lots to see and I’ve never been out of Europe  Oh and long enough to meet every loved one that’s way to far away!  

7. Quick you have to pick 5 things to take with you as you are rushing out of the house- you don’t know what’s happening, where you’re going, whom is taking you where, or why, but you do know you can carry about 5 things, in the small bag you’ve given to take with you. What do you choose?

• My phone, My phone charger, My wallet, My passport, Warm coat 

8. You’re sitting in a dream, you can tell you’re dreaming, but you’re not awake enough to move. What do you see? Is anyone there? (be creative, make something up, or recall a dream you had before)

• I’m sitting on a beautiful beach watching 2 kids build a sand castle while laughing. I feel an arm around me and a kiss on my shoulder. Feels peaceful and I don’t think I’d ever wanna wake up…. 

9. What color do you think you are?

•  Green, simply because it’s my fav color

10.  If when it came to blogging, if you blog, no one saw your blogs, no one commented, no one noticed, no one cared, at all, would you keep blogging? 

• This blog as it is now, no. What’s the point if nobody is seeing the posts?  But a blog in general, maybe. I have had personal blogs for years and I never cared how many people read it. Just writing away helped me deal with whatever I was feeling. It helped me clear my head. 

I was reading up on some of my favorite RL blogs and found this article here, that inspired me for todays post. I’m sharing it because I think it makes a good read and it actually does fit the pics

If life has challenged you and you feel like you keep getting swept under the waves, perhaps it is time to figure out how to ride the wave! So many things can feel like crashing waves coming down on us. Finances, health, relationships, children, jobs and more can have a harrowing effect on us. Some situations are far worse than others, but ultimately it is up to us as to how we handle the waves crashing in on us.

Sometimes the waves keep coming one after another, without a moment to catch our breath. Life isn’t always fair when it comes to timing and challenges being one after the other, or worse all at the same time. In those cases, it’s important to take (a lot) of deep breaths and try to deal with one wave at a time.

The first step in riding the waves of life, is to acknowledge when you feel like you are going under from too much. Too much of anything can include a lot of good things, good changes and exciting things. Sometimes getting married, having a baby, a move to your dream home, all good things, can be very overwhelming. Whatever is overwhelming needs to be recognized and accepted as what it is, for you. Ask yourself if you are feeling stress, pressure, fear, anxiety, sadness etc. and really accept that your feelings are normal and acceptable.

Once you embrace your feelings surrounding your circumstances, find ways that work for you to feel you are riding the wave, rather than being swept under. I have practiced many things to deal with overwhelming life stuff and some things work better than others. The key is to see what works best for you.

Often our own ability to manage our thoughts, from spiraling out of control and being consumed with fear and anxiety, is our best tool when the waves feel like they are crashing down on us. Sometimes are perception can be adjusted so that we don’t see things as being so bad or impossible. We do not have control over certain things or people, but we can control how we handle life.

Please feel free to share your tips to not letting the waves of life crashing in pull you under. Someone else may really benefit from your input!

Worrying means spending a lot of time thinking about bad things and being preoccupied with negative possibilities. The more you do it, the bigger your worries become. You may even find yourself worrying about all the time you’ve spent worrying.

There are many different types of worries. They include gloomy thoughts about what might happen in the future, about what is happening in the present, and about what is already in the past.

Finding the quote I used to name this blogpost, made me realise once again I worry way to much over things I can’t change anyway.  Worrying non stop won’t change they way things are, so it’s best to spend the time changing instead of wasting it on worries…

First blogpost in the new year!  :D

Happy new year sweet people! <3

For me 2013 will be a year of change and new adventures and a whole lot of work to get things done. But I have decided to start the year nice and lazy hanging around the house.

My arms are reaching out for you
Each time I think of you
Flood gates open and I’m left drowning
And although, it lingers in my sleep
May you return to me
Not to possess but to hold you in my keep
