a new beginning

For 

last-year's-words

belong to

last year's language

And

next-year's-words

await

another voice

And

to make 

AN END

is

to make

A BEGINNING

From

HOME

to home

and

HEART to HEART

FROM ONE PLACE

to another

the WARMTH and JOY of

C H R I S T M A S 

brings

us

closer

TO EACH OTHER

Clear and bright

Sometimes

It's all clear 

and I can see 

WHAT...WHY.....BECAUSE.....

I love those moments

I love CLEAR and BRIGHT 

My life is confusing these days

In a good way

Old habits have to make place

for new ones.

I must confess

I am NO HERO in this part.

But I have to admit

When I do ..... Let go ....

I am SURPRISED 

by the new things that are waiting

to come into my new life ......

It's like 

A SURPRISE-PARTY

Most of us do not like such events

But when it happend .....

We cannot believe how wonderful it was.

Letting go the control

And be open for new experiences

I want to learn this

*

to be .... to be...... to be......

*

*
it's where we go,

and what we do when we get there,

that tells us

who we are .


Joyce Carol Oates

*
To be in the moment 
without the past
without the future

just BE
and than ....take some along 
use it like magic glitter
and share that special feeling

just BE

Our hearts

grow tender

with childhood memories

and LOVE of kindred

and we are better

throughout the year 

for having ,

in spirit,

become a child again

CHRISTMAS-TIME

This is my

Granddaugther 

E V A

in february 2011

She is such a JOY

in MY life

and in my family.

She is my motivation 

to practice and do my best

with my new hip .

I am looking forward

to so many wonderful 

times 

ATTENTION

*

*

My fysiotherapist

teaches me 

not only what exercises I have to do 

He listens to me and shows me

the importance

of ATTENTION .......

Slow down

 and start at the beginning ...

listening to my body 

What do I feel 

Where do I feel 

and THAT is 

not as easy as it sounds ...

so I am learning 

each and every day

*

It's allright

Surprises

I love them .

I mean the surprise-presents

The other surprises

Like the things that happen

to you and you did not expect it

and you also do not like it 

Those surprises are coming

and going too of course .

Lately 

I try to treat them the same

So ..... When something unexpected is happening

and I do not like it at all 

I try to look at it 

as if it was a SURPRISE-GIFT 

wrapped in beautiful paper and

making me smile .

And than I wonder what 

the meaning of this-happening could be ....

You see 

with my first reaction 

the-not-like-reaction

I immediately give it NO chance at all.

With my new reaction

I leave things open 

and 

I get surprised

BEFORE my new hip

There was so much I did not like

but it felt like I had NO choice

AFTER my new hip

things changed 

I got my happy-JOY-thinking back

So 

Surprises

Let them come

I love them 

*

courage

*

*

The joy inside me

is waiting 

I am/was waiting

WHY was nothing happening

I have my new hip 

I no longer am in pain .....YEAH

Okay I have to be patience

BUT

Please can something happen

Please can someone come and visit me

Please can the phone ring 

I was waiting .......

and than it hit me

WHAT was I doing ?

Why was I waiting ?

Where was I ....ME......MYSELF 

I can be the one 

to ask or invite or phone ...

My life is changing

and I can be the director 

Oh my..........

It has been so long

I have to learn that all over again

My life turned

from no no no and more no

into YES YES YES 

I can 

and I ...... need some courage

that's okay
