sunday-afternoon-tea


*
If you are cold
tea will warm you
If you are too heated
it will cool you 
If you are depressed
it will cheer you
If you are excited
it will calm you


Gladstone 1865
*
enjoy your tea !

surprise


*
My neighbour
collects
poststamps
*
he is ill and
bored
having not much to do 
*
My friend Sylvia
is always visiting
jumble-sales
and 
I knew she had
lots of stamps 
*
so
I asked her
if she would/could
send some
to my neighbour 
to cheer him up 
*
and you know what
she send him 
a shoe-box
filled with stamps
by the mail 
*
so he received
a surprising parcel
in the mail !
*
He has been busy
ever since
and telling me time after time
about
this miracle
*
my friend Sylvia wrote
him a postcard 
telling she heard from me 
about him 
*
She was also SO HAPPY
to be able to do
this
*
everybody happy
*
THE END

heartbeats


*
I was at the doctor's
*
my heart beats too fast
*
wish it was for a man 
*
always better 
*
now I have to wait
for the results
*
I always hope
things disappear 
*
must be 
very kind
to my heart
*
you do the same !

Today
the sun is shining 
and a new week
is waiting

Musing

promessing

She is doing 
her first steps
her mother or father
holding her
 by the hands

Safe and trusting
learning and trying

*
We have made it
to the shore !
Elisabeth's chemo's
are
DONE
*
when she was in the hospital
having the last chemo
she received a phonecall
She was the winner
in a game from the Phone-company.
*
She won
a weekend for two
in a bed and breakfast
in Utrecht
and  traintickets
to go to Amersfoort
on Saturday
and overthere
they can use
two Vespa scooters
all day
*
So
when she is feeling better
She has a wonderful
weekend waiting 
*
When she was 
HOME
after the chemo
she went to bed 
to sleep 
*
in the mean time
there was a message spoken
on her voicemail

Her application
for a certificate of urgency
to become a house
has been allot.
So 
within three months
she will have
her own house
*
She was
OVER THE MOON
so happy
and the timing
was 
MIRACULOUS
*
a
 new
 beginning
*
Miracles
happen
*

colour your day


*
Why
do two colors
- put one next to the other -
.......SING.......
Can one really
explain this ?

NO

Just as 
one can never learn
how to paint.

Pablo Picasso

*
colors
put next to the other ....sing
I think 
that's sometimes also
with us

*
When
I
loved myself
enough
I began 
to feel
a divine presence
in me 
and hear
its guidance.
I am learning
to trust
this
and live from it 
Kim McMillen

*
Maybe
I'm oldfashioned
but
Loving YOURSELF ? ? ?
always 
far too busy
taking care
and doing the best I could .....
*
I learned
about
loving yourself
from my
ELISABETH
she has always had that
and said that 
I LOVE MYSELF 
AND I LOVE MY LIFE 
hearing that
I always thought
............OH MY.........
she does NOT have that
from me !
*
only since 
the last year
I am learning
trying to understand
how it works 
*
now
I found this book
called
WHEN I LOVED
MYSELF
ENOUGH
and
I love
being inspired
by a book 
*
What book
is your latest inspiration
and why ?
*
I love to know !
