* * By surprise * *

*

I love colours .

I'm always admiring the all-white interiors

but

My couch is RED !

*

Blue

has been my favourite colour

for a long time

and than

all of a sudden

my life was upsidedown

and

I noticed I began to like

RED

*

Now there's red all around

White also

but I love my RED's

*

* SUN * day

*

EVERY SOUL

IS A MELODY

WHICH NEEDS RENEWING

*

I bless my capacity to hear the world around me.

My physical sense of sound

connects me to the world.

The rippling sound of water ,

the hushed whisper of the wind ,

the sigh of my lover's breath.

the sweet sound of a Sunday choir

All these and moere

are gifts to me.

I focus on the sounds

my hearing brings to me.

I learn discernment and compassion

from the tones I encounter and respond to.

My hearing is acute and accurate.

I am able to respond with delicacy

to the subtle undercurrents

revealed to me through sound.

*

I love to read sunday morning

when the world is still quiet.

*

This morning my favorite book

PRAYERS TO THE GREAT CREATOR

by Julia Cameron

*

I woke up and felt sad

my back is still rubbish

and so I cannot go where I want

I cannot do what I want

I miss my work

I miss the children

*

Than I read today about hearing

That I can !

*

so cheer up girl

the sun is shining

and

this will be a good day

I'm sure

*

how do you see yourself

*

How we see ourselfs

mostly is not an issue .

*

than again

all of a sudden

there can be a moment

your thoughts

become

daydreaming and foggy

and you wonder

*

What about ME

*

How about ME

*

Who am I

Am I who I want to be

Wanted to be

*

What's become of ME

*

I must confess

I discouvered a whole new site

of ME

blogging

*

I like this ME

*

I like you too !

*

how do you see the world today

*

A wonderful sunny day overhere

AGAIN

*

How lucky I am

The world looks bright and light

*

Daydreaming

in my garden

*

Dreams are the window

of the soul

*

Send some sunshine

to all of you

where-ever you are

*

dressing up for the garden ..... Spring's here

*

Beautiful sunshiny day

today

so I went to get my parasol

*

Oh lala

He ( blue and white stripes )

looked old and neglected ......

*

Has done a good job

for so many many years .

*

Something new is always welcome

*

wish you all

lots of garden-time

*

*

*S*P*R*I*N*G*

*

for SPRING-THINGS

*

My garden needs a lot of change

SADAKO

and the Thousand Cranes

*

Is the title

of a beautiful 48-page picture-book

about

Sadako Sasaki

*

She was 12 years old

ten years after

the atom bombing of Hiroshima

in WorldWar II

*

Unfortunately she had to be hospitalized

when she developed leukimia

from the effects of radiation

*

She remembered the Japanese Legend

that anyone folding a thousand paper cranes

is granted A WISH

*

She set about this task with great hope for recovery

but her health held out only long enough

to complete

644

*

We can do all kinds of things

folding paper cranes

strike a little light

or pray

*

feel like dancing

*

Today is a beautiful day

My door is open

and fresh air comes into the livingroom.

*

I love open doors

listening to the birds .

*

Green tea in my mug

music in my head

it feels like dancing...

*

have to watch my back

so I'm imagening

DANCING

*

When you are outside

somewhere

today

and you think

you hear music

make a little dance

*

celebrate

this day

*

The answer

*

The answer

to all your questions

is

THIS MOMENT

just as it is

*

I'm discovering

how often

I'm worried

about all kinds of things

in the past

in the future

*

NOT

seeing how wonderful

the moment is

as it is

just as it is

exact as it is

*

HOW ABSOLUTELY

WONDERFUL

ARE

THE MOMENTS

*

Wish all of you

happy

MOMENTS

*

ENJOY them

Be surprised

*

precious

*

My coffee

and I

we always need a mug !

*

Love mugs

Today , 12 years ago

*

life changes when your parents are no longer with you

*

I used to see

my 3 sisters and

my brother

always

when I visited my mother

Now we are all far apart

AND

SO

this weekend

it's

family-time

sound in body and mind

HEALTH

IS BETTER

THAN WEALTH

*

Sometimes

several expierences

can lead you to

something new and you KNOW

that it's important.

*

at first my health could be better .

to loose some weight

would be nice

*

Than I read on the blog

of Anna from Lillalotta

about how she feels

so much better

since making healthy drinks

from fruit and vegetables

*

Than I saw this program on tv

about this man

who had cancer

and

he deceided to start exercise

and be healthy with his food .

Amazing results.

*

I'm healthy , but my back is worn out .

and I want to do something

GOOD

for myself.

*

Cannot change my worn out back

but I can change

being as healthy as possible .

*

So no more sugarish deliciousnes

for me

I am of to a new journey

*

But I will join your sweets

just by looking

YES

*

DO YOU ?

*

Who know's something

about

walnut-tea ?

*

This picture comes from

Laura

She made these walnut -sweets
