I decided on a small walk this afternoon, so I took the bus to a neighbouring village and walked back home along the river. Normally a very quiet route, about 7 kilometers and quite beautiful, especially with the fog today.
But alas, because fireworks are still a big thing here in Holland, I heard all sorts of bangs and explosions roll across the landscape. Noisy idiots, I grumbled, and my mood took a dive for the worse the first 20 minutes in.
I'm big on silence you know, and I tend to get rather edgy when I don't get enough of it. Thankfully, after about the aforementioned 20 minutes, I started to mellow out of my cantankerous frame of mind. Reminisced about some fun noisy evenings on the camino, thought fondly of my wife who can be quite the noisy extravert.
So I decided to put up with it, enjoy myself anyway and suddenly remembered a picture I saw recently. Something to do with rules for a happy life. And as we are rapidly approaching the end of 2016, maybe some nice and original new year's resolutions for 2017.
Anyway, I found the picture and decided to post it. I also decided to be a bit of a noisy idiot myself, tonight at a friends party. Practise makes perfect, and it'll be a nice change of pace. Who knows, maybe I'll get the hang of it one day.
Have a good one everybody!
