Autumn treasures

Come little leaves

said the wind one day

come to the meadows

with me and play :

put on your dresses 

of red and gold ,

for summer is past

and the days grow cold.

and another  autumn arrived.

It's been a while since I was here.

It's never because I do not want 

to write a new blog .

Maybe it is because I like

it most to write about processes.

about development , progress ,

and that's not always simple.

For example .....  interior-design

 and gardening are

subjects I love to READ about .

but I am not an expert to write about it .

I do love to tell and share about 

how I search in  life .

This autumn I realise how I have grown 

I still think about it as my new life.

The life being retired from work 

( kindergartenteacher at a Waldorf school )

the life living on my own since 

my four children grew up and left the house

I can say now , afterwards 

It's been a lot !

maybe that's the reason why there was so much

that needed attention , afterwards .

and

the greatest  gift has been that 

there was TIME ..... lots of time .

In my previous blog I told about 

the things I have been doing 

to keep creative , busy .

While my hands were making colorful beauty

my head could organise a lot and

 was able to let go .....

Meanwhile I have also been very busy as

a grandmother .

My new and wonderful activity....

My one and only grandchild keeps me busy.

In being a grandmother all seems to come

together .

my experience as a mother and a teacher .

on a whole new level .

much more in harmony .

It shows me who I am and have always been .

I always thought I did what I did

because I had to .

I had to do my best , as a mother and as a teacher.

But I did not realize 

how much I did it my way .

That's really a bit sad ....afterwards 

but that's how it was .

So..... in this part I had a lot to make up for .

Going through my house

and ordening all I kept ......

was very therapeutic .

Another thing that happened and

is very important now is :

Blogging , Facebook Pinterest Instagram

New digital ways to connect .

It is a wonderful way to get to know yourself 

in new ways .

I am still very much a BOOKperson.

Love to buy a book that helps me ....

guides me to learn and understand more.

My latest gain has a very original 

layout and I found out 

I love that too

it's called
