Words

*
The magic of WORDS ...
*
I love words that have
a special meaning or sound .
*
The children in my class
are 4 , 5 or 6
and they know how to enjoy
beautiful
or funny words
too !
*
Wish you all
magic words
that make your day !

just one ....


I was not always very good
in looking after myself.
*
It was always more important
to be a good mother
a good wife ,daughter , friend ,
sister , colleague , neighbour
and so on .
*
But I always knew
how to be happy
with small things ,
gestures for myself.
*
Just one new coffeecup
a magazine and all went well .
*
Some things never change
coffee .... magazine ............
mmmmmm
enjoying my afternoon .
*
Hope you enjoy yours

courage


A sheltered life
can be a daring life as well.
For all serious daring
starts from WITHIN .
*
Eudora Welty
*
The Universe gifts me
with courage in all things.
I cherish my own courage.
I salute myself for the brave action
I undertake in my life .
I focus
with clarity and appriciation
on the choices
I have made
which have requiered courage
and selfdetermination .
I applaud myself
for my strength
and my daring.
Rather than belittle myself
for my fears ,
I choose to honor myself
for the bravery
with wich I have often walked
through my fears .
I count back
in specific ways
and enumerate
for myself
examples
of my own courage :
the new friendship
hIave undertaken ,
the steadiness I have shown
in a difficult job ,
the honesty I have displayed
in opening a difficult conversation .
I honor myself
for my bigheartness
in the face of challenges
from which I could have
- but did not -
shrunk back.
My courage
brings blessings to my life.
My courage
blesses the lives of others .
*
from my favourite book
PRAYERS TO THE GREAT CREATOR
by Julia Cameron.
Wishing you all moments
to think about YOUR COURAGE !
*

that's life


*

I'm a mother

and its life's greatest gift to me .

When my children were small

everything was easy .

When they were sad , I could comfort them .

Now they are grownups

and my youngest one is very sad

his girlfriend ended their relationship .

Heartbreaking.

*

My daughter however has found true love

and is very much IN LOVE ....

Heartwarming.

*

Today the postman brought two cards

one because my aunt passed away , 78 years old

the other one because a new baby is born : KAYLEIGH.

*

I think I need a coffee

and I hope everything will be peaceful for all of you

*



zaterdag 2 oktober 2010

see you !


*
Wish I could look in my crystal ball/globe
and see what you are doing
still in your pj ?
enjoying your first coffee
or in another time ... preparing for the night ?
Isn't it a miracle
The same world and a place for all of us .
Wishing you all the best and even more .
