Dear Diary.

The last two or three weeks the weather had been miserable so today, I was delighted when I woke up to a bright blue sky and the sun rising.



My alarm woke me up at 7.30 am. After spending some time in my bed listening to music and being on my phone, I got up, changed in comfy clothes and prepared for my morning yoga session.



I followed the video by the YouTube channel "Yoga with Adriene". It was a morning yoga video and it really calmed me and made me focused for the day. After these 30 minutes I went downstairs and made myself some breakfast. I used the mango I bought a few days ago and it tasted perfect! Sweet and with a good consistency. I also drank a green smoothie (which I bought and not made myself) and drank about half a liter of water.



While preparing and eating that I listened to Frank Sinatra on Spotify and it heavily lifted my mood. For some reason I was so happy in that moment and soaked everything up.

Still with Mr Sinatra in the background I went back upstairs in my room and tidied everything up. Like proper deep cleaned my room. Put all my school stuff away, hoovered, dusted and "puffed up" my duvets on the balcony.



I also improved my bullet journal by redesigning my layout.
Then my mum came home and I drank tea while she had her breakfast. We decided to go to Hanover, the capital and biggest city of lower saxony, and take a walk around the maschsee lake. So I got ready, grabbed my camera and we set of.

At about 4 pm we were home again and since we were literally shivering we made a little soup with vegetables and loads of spices.
Then we made proper lunch/dinner with potatoes with rosemary, agli oli, baguette, peppers, courgette and carrots. While the veggies were baking in the oven I played the piano. Again, Frank Sinatra (still had the songs from the morning stuck in my head) and Panic! At The Disco.

Then I sat down and read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which I got for Christmas.

Now I'm watching a 2016 year review comedy thing and soon I'll go to bed because tomorrow will be a long and exciting day. New Years Eve... another year has passed.

Today was extremely lovely! The weather was amazing, I made music, I read, I was outside for a very long time, ate good and healthy food and was genuinely happy. That is the most important thing. I was happy, laughing, smiling for no reason and enjoying the little things.

I wish myself more days like today.
