I feel like we go through life thinking way too much about the future and not really dedicating any time to feel grateful for things that we already have. For this reason, I decided to start sharing monthly gratitude blog series. Through these series, you’ll also be able to get to know a bit more about my life and behind the scenes of this blog. I want to be open about my journey instead of only focussing on the completed projects. Shall we get down to it then?

December has been a busy month. Not only work-wise but also in socialising. We spent a week before/after Christmas focussing on our friends and families and it was a blast. Such an awesome way to end the year and get ready for all the new adventures in 2018.

Here are some things I felt extremely grateful for during December:

• My blog. I blogged A LOT in December and loved every single minute of it. I hope to keep this up in 2018 as well! Let me know if you have any topics in mind that you want me to cover.

• The first month of remote living.

• People around me. I know, I know, we should appreciate each other every day, but the holidays definitely made me realise how many amazing, loving souls I have in my life.

• All the food. Yes, I miss it already.

• Sleeping in.

• Christmas movies, songs and all that fuss.

• Snow. Hell yeah, we’ve got some snow! Such a great reminder we haven’t ruined our earth completely yet. We should keep it this way.

• Audible. Haha! But seriously, I listened to so many audiobooks during December and have no idea how I have ever existed without it!

• New products in progress! In December, we finally started to prepare new products for our design shop and I can not wait to share more with you in the next few months!

• Nature. I still feel so grateful every day for this chance to live in Nida and enjoy its nature.

• Peace with myself. December brought so much happiness my way and I haven’t felt this calm in a long, long time.

• Tomas. This guy worked his ass off in December and he deserves his own point on this list.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this post, folks! I’m so excited to start another month here on kotrynabass.com and I can not wait to bring even more useful content your way!
