just BE

*

I am so happy

to be here again

my laptop was out of order

and IS now 

repared 

Missing something

makes you realise

how important it was .

For me 

to have to miss

blogging

was 

ENLIGHTENING

sometimes 

we take things for granted

I DID

and I discovered 

how important it was and is 

to me .

and also 

it was/is time

to choose

to choose

after two years of blogging

HOW

I want to be as a blogger

what I choose to share 

I admire 

the blogs

who are vey personal

with words from that person

I sometimes

choose to be safe

and took 

a wonderful quote

from a famous person

and a beautiful picture

from Pinterest

and 

?

nice but .........

why doing that 

I could have been

just a reader

with other blogs

and enjoy them

and leave comments 

but I did not

I so much wanted to be

a blogger 

and 

I was ......

sometimes

I tried to be personal

that's more difficult

in a language

in which I am not used 

to express myself

Impossible sometimes

SO

picking quotes

was a way to express

what I could not say

myself

I love 

the combination 

of beautiful words

going along with

a beautiful picture

Long ago 

I found out

there are people

who are artists themselves

and there are the ones

that know to appreciate the art !

and love to share 

help to share !

I am with the last category

so 

her I go again

exhilarating

*

Sunshine

is delicious

Rain

is refreshing

Wind

braces us up

Snow

is exhilarating

there is really 

no such thing

as bad weather

only

different kinds

of good weather

John Ruskin

We have snow

all is beautiful white

I sat on my couche

little Eva on my lap

we watched

the snowflakes

we did not say a word

Magical

INVISIBLE

Make friends
with the ANGELS
who
though invisible
are always with you

Often invoke them
praise them
and be aware
they can help
and assistance
in all your temporal
and spiritual affairs

Saint FRANCIS de Sales

Since our friend
Peter
got new longs
this week
we are praying for him
all the time

the words above
about the angels
being invissable
well
there are so many ANGELS
who are vissable
amongst us 

all the doctors and nurses
and also
there WAS a human-being
who signed a donor-codicil

there is a family
who lost a dear-one
and 
now 
our friend has been given
a new start
*
so
all the angels
all around us
deserve
to be recognised

they are all around

*

Miracles happen

I cannot stand

when I am having

a hard time

and do not seem

to overcome

and get over it

Yesterday 

and the day before

I was SO not being

my calm self

I was restless

and all the time

thinking about a very dear friend

He was not feeling well

and he already is 

very fragile

He is on the waitinglist

to become new longs

and

you can imagen how bad it has to be

to even get on that list .

always in and out the hospital

and handing in more and more

He was such an 

ENJOYING life type

and had to adjust

more and more and more

AND THAN

my friend Astrid ( his wife )

send me an sms

We are in the hospital

and

HE HAS NEW LONGS

I was over the moon 

This was what he had been waiting for

and how WONDER-FUL

this is possible

so now

we all pray for him

and HOPE

for his new beginning

to be WONDERFUL
