It is the 14th October once more, the day on which I was born, now 43 years ago. Should any of you ask – I don’t feel any different than yesterday today but I know that another great year of my life has begun today!

Other than we usually do, we are not going to have a big party today. The children had a great lunch, sang for me and even gave me some hand-made birthday cards. We have not however planned a program in the evening – because we were all too busy and with the mind at another, very big project.

Since the beginning of this year, I have been involved in a great project, no, the greatest project of my life. It takes a lot of thought and effort which means that I have not been sitting at the computer and writing or working on the website a lot in the past months.

When something involves you so completely and your mind is focused, you don’t realize how the day passes – something which I love, simply being fully immersed with every part of your mind and heart.

Thinking back on my life – yes, I know, it sounds like something an old person would say but that’s what you usually think about on birthdays, isn’t it? – I have always been doing such things and always putting myself into my work completely, enjoying every bit of it.

I really want to tell you in detail what work I am talking about but as it would get a bit too long to write this all today, I will have to make you wait until tomorrow.

Until then, enjoy this beautiful day and thank you very much for all the birthday wishes!
