“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
Greetings fellow Hiveans!
Was getting ideas how to make a post to include photos of my whole year and came across one of my favorite community's contest : Photography Lovers End of Year Contest Announcement.
This year has been a different one for me. It started with losing myself, not knowing where to go, getting off track and forgetting my goals. Found new bottom and started fresh from there on. I've also been away from blogging and this year got me back active again. My goal for this year has been to get active, happy, strong & healthy.
Started with getting sober after over 7 years, then start taking more walks, do more hiking and be physically active without too much pressure.
Then I started changing my diet as most of the food I ate included junk food, too many sweets, a ton of sugar combined with too much processed meat, toxic hidden E's and way too little water to process everything.
While spending a lot more time in nature and at work I started getting rid of bad habits and replacing them with new ones. Explored new mountains, learned to hunt for new mushrooms that even have medicinal purposes and made new encouraging routines to help me start the day, motivate me and slowly clean away the negative energies.
January
Last winter season we had a lot less snow and I've spent a lot more time trying to recover inflamations all over my body and played way too much video games. But the nature was still calling with beautiful mornings.
February
Was looking for help, getting new ideas and slowly started taking short walks. In late February after snow melted away the flowers soon started popping out of the ground to finally add some colours to it's beauty.
March
Got my mother a car, started getting better, sober and changes slowly started to happen after getting rid of medicine and changing my diet. Started spending more time alone out in nature, nature slowly started providing super healthy edible foods and got back to work fully again.
April
First quick coffee in a 'bar' after over two years. - Zagreb, Croatia
Collecting flowers, edibles was making over 5 kilometers aday out in the woods in beautiful nature filled with flowers. Also started writing blogs again, finally, that helped me out a ton!
Started hiking, helping others, on a strick diet and got my dream car, a 4x4 Passat.
May
Started exploring new hiking trails, continued collecting edible herbs, mostly for tea, started working fully, finding mushrooms, reading books and got excited about life again, sober in presence.
June
This month started getting hot, rewarding with mushrooms, getting ideas for holidays and continued working on myself, improving focus, eating habbits and trusting mother nature.
July
Swimming, exploring, mushroom hunting, hiking, OneLifeRally, holiday season!
August
Really hot month, lots of swimming, mushroom hunting and time spent at sea level.
September
Amazing mushroom month, started hiking again with lower temperatures, end of holidays, back to work.

Sweet chestnuts, mushrooms, travel, walks threw woods, focusing on goals and improvement.

Thank you for taking time reading, stopping by & staying positive.
Terrific post! Congrats on your sobriety! I'm happy to hear that you are finishing the year strong...
Beautiful photos, too! Mushroom hunting sounds great for getting out into nature and earning some money. What a cool vocation!
Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to you in 2022!!
Cheers!
Mushrooms give me pleasure inprocess finding them, hunting them down, exploring their enviroment and most joy I get when I give them to friends, family.. I feel a special connection with it and is one thing I surely wouldn't do for money.
This year I also learned and see that money has no value vs the thing/work you enjoy and love to do.
Thank you very much for the motivation and leaving a comment, writing posts and spending time in nature helps me out a lot.All the best also with love, passion and sucsess to you as well my friend!

These are some great shots and this is an awesome entry! Hopefully, 2022 will be even more kind to your photography! =) Cheers
It's an honor to be part of this amazing and warm community that inspires everyone to go out and try taking even better shot than yesterday. I've learned a lot since I started writing posts and a hobby I never imagined 5 years ago I will like doing. Though learning how to use a real photo instead of smartphone is still something in the future, luckly phones are doing excelent job nowadays. :)
It helps me give a reason to go out and explore, this platform is amazing to store photobooks for ever. Thank you very much, wishing you all the best, sucsess and health!
Rawr!
Yes this is a great place to store your photos! When i first started you had to load them somewhere else and then get the link for your post. Glad that function has been integrated natively here.
You are also right that the phones these days are just as good as many of the point and shoot cameras. It's good to hear that you are encouraged and inspired by this community! Keep up the great work and most of all have fun!
Didn't know that, glad it's all in one place now :)
Aye phones make a newbie like me look like I know what im doing with it. Haha!
Yes, fun most of all, thank you all the best to you as well!
Hahaha That was funny! Unfortunately, the phones can't help a lot of folks that still don't know what they're doing. =)
