give and take


*
I like this idea
A LOT
*
Not like this
with the notes 
but
lots of other ways
I have done 
myself
*
It's so much more easy
to give
than to take
to have the courage
and admit
you can use some help 
*
I made a move
from always be there
for others first
to trying ( .......)
to be there 
for ME 
*
and you know what 
I like it even more
than I could imagen
*
so
give and take 
as you prefer 
*

thank you all


*
Thank you all
for 
all the kind words 
you shared with me
when I was 
over the moon
happy and celebrating
my 
first year of
being
 Eva's
 grandmother

*
Now we are 
back to 
usual days

*
although
I think
life is telling me
something
because
my days have not
been
usual 
for a long time
and
at first 
I did not notice
because 
I was to busy trying
to cope.

*
When something
un-usual happens
my first reaction is :

OH NO
and than soon
followed by

HELP 
*
WHY
on earth
is that my reaction
so I guess
life is 
showing me
some important 
STUFF
*
If only
I had a clue

*
are you having
YOUR'S ?

Back-and-forwards


*
Where am I
What am I doing
Where am I going to 
Why is this happening
Who am I 
*
sometimes
all the questions
fill my mind
and
I have
 to get
 a grip on it
*
Make
something
out of it

I will

so now you know
what I'm doing
I'm having
my mind open
for what's to come
*
really really really 
hope
for 
the good things
to find me

How about ......

*
You need only claim
the events of your life
to make yourself yours .

Florida Scott Maxwell
*
We alter our lives 
by the opinions we hold of them.
If we see ourselves as daring,
we will dare.
We can change our lives
by changing our perceptions.
We can identify
those plots and patterns
we wish to alter.
While it is important
to have the faculty
of self-scrutiny ,
it is equally important
to have the gift 
of SELF-APPRECIATION.

We can identify
and cherish
those character traits
which are our STRENGTHS.

I acknowledge and appreciate 
my own accomplishments
and talents.

I note
 when I do well 
and applaud myself 
for my merits.

Such self-appraisal
is not mere narcissism.
It is the bedrock 
of solid self-worth.
*
Today , I take
a positive inventory
of my assets.
I count and consider
my own virtues.
I notice 
what I value
and I build upon 
those values.

I become
the person
I choose to be 
*
Today I share 
with you my inspiration
for this week.
I have
 this beautiful book
PRAYERS
 TO
 THE GREAT CREATOR
by 
Julia Cameron
653 pages !
printed
on the most beautiful
kind of paper.
*
I love to have
something
to think about
*

always

*
I love 
when life
shows me
there's more 
more to see
 more to know
more to learn
always

surprise


*
I collect little 
wooden boats
ever since I saw
one
standing all alone
on a sales-table
*
and soon he was not
alone anymore
and the boats
kept coming
*
It's just so nice
to collect something
and keep finding
and be happy 
*
now my friend Sylvia
gave me this
and some of my
little-ones
are here now .
*
how about you
are you collecting
little things 
?

watching through the eyes of.......


*
LIFE
is
the biggest surprise
EVER 
*
May 2011
I became to be 
A GRANDMOTHER
of little 
EVA
*
ever since
I have been 
living my life
as a mother
but also
as a grandmother
*
holding my breath
so many times
when watching
this little miracle
*
soon we will celebrate
HER first birthday
*
I have to celebrate
being a grandmother TOO
because
she lets me see
the world
throuhg her eyes
*
it's like
living LIFE 3D......
*
I already
thought 
Life is a miracle
watching
through the eyes
of my children
and
of all the children
who were in my class
*
and yet
life keeps 
SURPRISING
me
day after day
*
wish that for 
YOU 
TOO
