When I come home, and arrive a little late for lucn on a sunday, this is what I can find at the table ; ) Look what a nice family I have, my father, peter, katrien, my mother, dogs kasper and dropke... Only annemie is missing on the picture, she was still working in the bakery at this time...

From left to right: my sister Annemie, with the beautiful smile, my nephew Danny, my uncle Bart and my father. Uncle Bart came to visit us, in between conferences.

Why what with whom when ?

My year in Lisbon, Portugal as an erasmus student has ended. It is over and is not coming back. I will remember it forever as a wonderful, glorious time, a time where a met so much friends, had so much fun, and also, learned great a many thing about life.
Now I am back in Leuven. I know this place, I have studied here four years in a row, I have lived here for a total of 208 weeks. Yet, when I look around, there is not a lot that I recognize. I have changed too much in one year to recognize this place... I have changed too much to recognize myself in this place...
What I have learned in Lisbon, not in Leuven, and what I hope never to forget, is that life is to be lived... You don't have to be far away to see something new, you have to want to see it.
Why what whit whom when ?
There is no other way to deal with life than to live it, and live it to the fullest extent. Be yourself as much as you can be, that's the only thing that can make you feel complete. Have the courage to be yourself and be your biggest supporter... Make your choices and accept their consequences.
Live your dreams, but be realistic. Your dream is to fly ? learn how to fly a plane and live that dream, but don´t jump of the roof for exercise...
Anybody, and I mean anybody is worth inviting over for dinner, soup or even just coffee... Enjoy and share your live with other people. Be happy to listen to other people and how they are and want to be and look at their own life.
Because you are alive and have only now, not tomorrow not yesterday, only the now to do what you want to do, so do it now... Any time you don't, is a chance less to do something usefull with your life...
I am going to live my life, and breath the air with joy...
