My blogging backlog is terrific and in a manner I am quite thankful due to the fact that means I have been visiting and enjoying existence to the fullest. I paintings fulltime and I work hard. I additionally store majority of what I earn for the future (read: I want to retire early). But I also do my pleasant in playing existence the manner I want to.

That said, I am doing what makes me satisfied, and that is what's essential. Why? Because lifestyles is fleeting. I have to remind myself this fact of life everytime. I actually have seen it up near how lifestyles is so precious, so fragile and so unfair...

Nevertheless, I become in Haarlem 2 years in the past (2014) in March. It turned into the cease of wintry weather and the day became surprisingly lovely. The solar turned into shining and the skies have been blue. This occurs hardly ever in cold and grey Netherlands. In fact as I write now it's far bloodless and raining outdoor.

I keep in mind having lunch on the Grand Cafe Brinkmann, otherwise known as the dwelling room of Haarlem and I can recognize why. Then I did a stroll around the town centre, taking pictures of the cute Dutch architecture as I walk on century's antique cobbled stone streets. I went to check out the organic farmer's market at the Botermarkt square. I also witnessed a wedding.

The Netherlands is a lovely usa when the climate is on her side. But while it is gloomy, windy and cold, she should seem like a scorned middle elderly woman seeking out a combat. So I have been fortunate on this particular day due to the fact the Netherlands seemed like a lovely girl beginning herself up freely to her lover. That was Haarlem on this day. The cause why I took such a lot of pix that I ought to put up them in two separate blog posts =)

TRIVIA: Did that Haarlem changed into a primary and massive town inside the 14th century? Much larger than Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Back then there had been 2 major vintage towns: Dordrecht and Haarlem.
