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
