It just fits
into
this empty place
in your heart .....
After reading those words
found them while
pinteresting
...................
I was amazed
again
by
what a few words
can say ... can do ...
THIS EMPTY PLACE
IN YOUR HEART
and something
fits in
*
I am still
IN BETWEEN
an old life
and a new one
the old one
is very far away
that is my married life
20 years ago !
and than there was
this life as a single parent
with four children
and a full-time
teaching job
and than two years
of not being able to work
anymore
and having to let go
this amazing job
as a kindergartenteacher
and also
adjusting to lots of pain...
and
in the same time
my two last staying at home
children
moved out
and there I was
in this house
with the empty rooms
and an empty agenda
and an empty life
*
at first it only was
all of that
I simply could not think
about
THE FUTURE
what future ?
I was not a mother
of children in my house
anymore
I was not a teacher anymore
I was completely LOST
*
Thanks to my very special
Blogfriends
I was belonging somewhere
in this space
between reality and
what was to come ....
*
because
by blogging
I was discouvering
a whole new part of ME
All those amzing inspiring
women all over the world
sharing so much
and being there for
EACHOTHER
*
SURPRISING
me in the mail
with the most heartwarming
packets
*
bringing me
new friendship
and also
SPACE
by thinking worldwide !
letting me know
I was good
just the way I was
*
and so I could go
to accept
and mourn about the lost
of my work
and lots of other stuf
I put away somewhere
because I was too busy
SURVIVING
with my children
*
I dealed with a lot
in the past two years
and now
it's like this WINTER
it's like
all is done and waiting
to flourish like SPRING
*
it feels like
I have so much space
inside me now
and I cannot wait
for all that's to come
all the new chances
all the TIME
the peace and the space
*
I guess that is
very new too
to have
PEACE
OF MIND
working so hard
for so many years
was
busy busy busy
always busy
*
And
now
I enjoy
having TIME
*
I have find out
how important it is
TO BE
in the moment
to feel what's to be felt
and to own that
and than ........
move on
*
It's an amazing journey
and the light is shining in now
It feels like
SPRINGCLEANING
my life
and I also
count all my blessing
I can see clearly now
much more
in PEACE
and with great gratitude
how
ALL OF IT
has brought me
where I am
HERE AND NOW
*
LOOKING FORWARD
to all that's coming
to me
in the future
and will fit in
*
I hope
you are doing well
on your journey
let's share
and be here
for each-other
You
are
in my HEART
*
Wishing you much joy on your adventure darling...

As always...your words (and pics) are lovely. To stop and enjoy the moment is a good reminder for all of us.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou have been a great encourager to all of us my friend..you have so much to give the world and yourself. I am so happy to see that you are excited about the future...you have so much to offer ...your writing is beautiful and paired with your strong but yet gentle heart...you are off on an amazing journey! Don't ever stop believing in YOURSELF! Amazing things will happen. xoxxo
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTo have peace is one of life's greatest blessings, Francis. Your story was very touching, and I am kind of where you are right now too. I raised all my kids, and they are all out of the house (except my son, but one day he will be out too). We have dedicated our lives to children and someone else our whole life. It's hard to imagine doing something for ourselves for a change. It's strange, isn't it? Yes, our bloggy friends are a blessing and they encourage and love. Sometimes I think I am closer to them than my real life friends hehe. Keep moving forward, Francis. You have so much to give to the world. And always remember this...you are loved. Happy Valentine's Day, sweet friend.

Mijn lieve ZUSJE!!!!!!!!!!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh my dear, I was working all day yesterday and now barely have come to meet with you.
You have expressed your life so well, and I still believe to this moment that your life is a wonderful and as valuable as EVER, but now, you simply have MORE TIME FOR YOU. Your writing in English is extraordinary and exceptional in clarity, grammar and CREATE FLOW. I can only imagine that your DUTCH writing is of a superior quality, a POETIC QUALITY that stands apart from ordinary prose.
You time now is perhaps a time to GATHER all of the jewels of your life and put them in poetry form. I also agree that blogging (writing, sharing, discovering oneself through creativity) has been the tool that has brought ME to another level of hopes and dreams. But what makes it even better is having made the connections with you all.
Oh how lovely it is to see your comment on my blog post! BISOUS, Anita
Wat een mooie post lieve Francis...soms is de weg lang maar toch mooi en onverwacht komen er allerlei dingen en mensen op je pad...als je je maar open stelt! Wens je alle succes van de wereld:) Lieve groet
