to be in charge.....

*
We must look for ways
to be an active force
in our own lives.
We must take charge
of our own destinies,
design a life
of substance
and truly begin
to live our dreams

Les Brown
*
the beautiful soft autumn sun
makes
dreaming
so much more easy
*
Have good-night-sleeps
and sweet dreams

about the shirt ............

*
I am a huge FAN
of the Breton shirts
love the stripes
and the colors .
*
my favorite-one
is old and worn .......
*
Love to wear it
in the evening
when I am all alone
and going to watch a movie
in my soft cosy shirt .
*
must say
this one on the image
makes me wonder
when I order a new one
is the man included ?
*
happy weekend

building

If you go
to work on your goals
your goals will go to work on you
If you go
to work on your plan
your plan will go to work on you
Whatever good things
we BUILD
end up
building us

Cannot help it
when I see blocks
I want to build.
It's always new
and challenging

fairy tales

*
today
openingsday of Dutch Parliament
*
Our Queen is in
THE GOLDEN CARRIAGE
on her way
eight horses are
pulling the carriage 
*
Yes we do have
our fairy-talish traditions

If I am honest
I have to tell you
I still read fairy-tales
and I like them best of all.

sometimes
it's a BIG SURPRISE
when we have patience
and look beyond/further
than what we see
at first sight.

 the surprises
in life
in people
in meeting

 Happy weekend

SO SO SO HAPPY

*
Yesterday
I bought a car !
After 10 years without one !
10 years doing everything
on my bike .
Going everywhere
on my bike.
Even in the rain
even when the wind was hugh ...
*
It's not a new car
the car is 10 years old
All the years
I was doing without
one
this one was on the road
maybe I passed it
I hope the car is good to me
Feeling how glad and happy I am
*
being a single mother
of FOUR
without a husband
and without alimony
I had to make choices
and I did
*
Now my children
are wonderful grown-ups
now I could buy a car again
*
I am so HAPPY
think about my new FREEDOM
and the easy-ness
*
Happy

measure out

*
CHILDHOOD
is
measured out
by
SOUNDS
and
SMELLS
and
SIGHTS

before
the dark hour
of
reason
grows

John Betjeman
*
Being a teacher
watching children
Being a mother
watching
 my own children
for
many
many
years

brought me
SO SO SO
much
*
and
now
the greatest
GIFT
to
live and see
all I have learned
through
the eyes of a grandmother
watching
my precious
EVA
*
wish you can all
see through the eyes
of the children
