*

le livre de bébé .....

*

Oh yes

I am going to try

to find this one

in french !

and than reading it

lateron

to my sweet Eva .

*

about this reorganising of me

it is not only

the FINDING things

but more

the  feeling it gives

about long lost memories

how I was

and

still am

*

That brings me

so much joy

*

Hope you find

something

today

that reminds you

of YOU

*

once upon a time.......

*

once upon a time

my four children

were small and

 I did a lot of reading

 to them .

*

I always found

BOOKS

are as important

as food and clothes .

*

These cute mouses are

 from one of the books of

JILL BARKLEM

*

oh I am definitely

on memories-lane

these days

*

reorganising

*

I'm doing some

reorganising

and I found this box

filled with letters and postcards

the subject is

MICE

*

me and this friend

we send eachother

all kind of mice post .

*

We did that over and over

when our children were little

and we were the mothers

in need of coffee and

an understanding soulmate.

*

our children played together

and we had lots of coffee

*

when I moved

to another town

we kept sending

amazing-surprising postcards

*

now those children are

all grown up

and we moved on .

*

finding the box

I decided

to send a postcard

to her

MICE

it had to be !

*

my sunshine

*

My son just send me

this picture

My very sweet

granddaughter

EVA

born may 24

*

when she sees her daddy

my son

she has the most adorable

SMILE

*

pure magic

*

back to school ....?

*

Not for me

yet ....

but overhere

next monday

schools are opening

their doors again

*

my new therapy

has just started

and

I am hopeful

*

My health

is excellent

but my back

is a mess

*

I have HOPE

my new therapy

will bring me

where I need to be

*

Wish you all

Hope

*

HOPE

is not a dream

but

a way

of making dreams

become

reality

*

yes

*

Mysterie

is

at the heart

of

creativity

That

and

SURPRISE !

Julia Camaron

*

today

is

a

beautiful

day

*



joy

*

sometimes

your joy

is the source

of your smile

but

sometimes

 your smile

can be

the source

of your joy

Thich Nhat Hanh

*

wish you all kinds of joy !



on my mind

*

CHANGE

is the essence

of life

BE WILLING

to surrender

what you are

for

what

 you could become.

*

The subject CHANGE

is on my mind .

*

change

*

Life

keeps

surprising

me

*

but I am still learning

to see when it happens

*

I don't like change

but sometimes

I have to , I need to

*

life brings me

the change

and I ...... I don't see it ,

the change confuses me

and makes me grumble.

*

and than

a few days and

many opportunities later

it suddenly HITS ME

SURPRISES me .

Suddenly I understand

what happened .

*

how special it was

and how it introduced

the change !

*

the benefit is

when I look back

and count those blessings

I have an advance

for all of a sudden

I am already

on my way

CHANGING

*

I hope you understand

what I am trying to share

*

surprised by surprise

*

boxes

*

Boxes

*

with four children

there are always

 BOXES

involved .

*

I do love boxes

but more the little ones

the special ones .

*

Like the box with

the little mouse

*

my daughter gave to me

to keep me company

*

My mouse-friend

always makes me smile !

*

Anna my daughter who is living

IN FRANCE now

was here for a week .

There are still a lot of boxes

from her overhere .

So she was looking in them

and reorganising....

*

My son Thomas

just got the key of

his first student appartment

so empty boxes

for him to fill

*

I am busy staying calm

making everything

GEZELLIG

again.

*

My days are filled

with

can we stay for dinner?

*

summer

is here !

*



some space of your own.....

*

sometimes

it's just me

musing

and musing

*

always

thinking of all of you

of course
