Sun comes, sun goes.
Sun comes, sun goes.
If we see life like that...

It has been a joke among my friends to take the broom when autumn comes. I just love this season, all the earthly colors showcasing themselves. I'll opt the broom out.

“Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.” - Buddha
Seeing the beauty of life in a world seemingly in chaos is a gift. It's more than just being positive - more on actually being contented with what one has. It's really easy to say but requires great effort...on my part perhaps. Who would say no to ease and beautiful living, a vacation here and there at some point or a pair of boots every month?
It is perhaps our nature to always look for more and we forget that what we already had our treasures or privilege considered by some. Exaggeration? It could be. As the quote says if we look at the small things that make us unhappy, it will be amplified to great heights. But, if we look at the small things that makes us glad it will drown every doubt.

It has been my yearly habit to post one such as this, like an overview of the year past. On this day, ten years ago, my daughter and I came to Vienna to rejoin my husband.
Then, I often include a number of photos from different years so today, let me do just that again except, I'm sharing photos from within the year 2011-2012.

This year, I was able to somehow take that exam that has waited for 8 years already---the citizenship exams, well, there's a study material of about 55 pages containing Austrian history, government system, regulations and the like that I skimmed through. Come exam day I was disappointed that there were only 18 questions. Haha! So miniscule, then again it was good, I passed with flying colors, got a perfect score! ;) Well, hey...they say that the best blaze burns brightest, when circumstances are at their worst...I was cramming, I had about a month to study but actually did 3 days prior. It helped a lot that I have been writing stuff on this blog so I am somehow truly familiar with Austria's government system and history. There's still a document or two that I need to submit - hopefully everything will clear by the end of the month. :)
That aside, this year has not been like before when I am often out and about taking photos within the city. Sorry, blogging - more on the writing part of it, came in the way. Kidding! But, really I have been doing a lot of blog posts that I haven't gone out a lot when this school-year began, I have to scout my archives for the photos of summer for posting but that would be inappropriate to post now for autumn. :/

This year saw me in a photo coverage of a wedding. It was fun and really worth breaking my neck and shoulders for. Well and yes, will definitely go about breaking them for another year of Vienna Daily. ^_^
