oh those polkadots

*

always

makes me smile 

*

happy

thursday

to

you

*

give and take

*

I like this idea

A LOT

*

Not like this

with the notes 

but

lots of other ways

I have done 

myself

*

It's so much more easy

to give

than to take

to have the courage

and admit

you can use some help 

*

I made a move

from always be there

for others first

to trying ( .......)

to be there 

for ME 

*

and you know what 

I like it even more

than I could imagen

*

so

give and take 

as you prefer 

*

thank you all

*

Thank you all

for 

all the kind words 

you shared with me

when I was 

over the moon

happy and celebrating

my 

first year of

being

 Eva's

 grandmother

*

Now we are 

back to 

usual days

*

although

I think

life is telling me

something

because

my days have not

been

usual 

for a long time

and

at first 

I did not notice

because 

I was to busy trying

to cope.

*

When something

un-usual happens

my first reaction is :

OH NO

and than soon

followed by

HELP 

*

WHY

on earth

is that my reaction

so I guess

life is 

showing me

some important 

STUFF

*

If only

I had a clue

*

are you having

YOUR'S ?

*

ONE YEAR .....

*

ONE YEAR 

*

one year for Eva

one year for daddy and mommy

one year for me as her grandmother 

many first times

we had

 and we will still have

*

we all experienced the year

with a new view

the Eva-view

*

and now

Back-and-forwards

*

Where am I

What am I doing

Where am I going to 

Why is this happening

Who am I 

*

sometimes

all the questions

fill my mind

and

I have

 to get

 a grip on it

*

Make

something

out of it 

*

I will

I know

it will come to me

*

so now you know

what I'm doing

I'm having

my mind open

for what's to come

hope

How about ......

*

You need only claim

the events of your life

to make yourself yours .

Florida Scott Maxwell

*

We alter our lives 

by the opinions we hold of them.

If we see ourselves as daring,

we will dare.

We can change our lives

by changing our perceptions.

We can identify

those plots and patterns

we wish to alter.

While it is important

to have the faculty

of self-scrutiny ,

it is equally important

to have the gift 

of SELF-APPRECIATION.

We can identify

and cherish

those character traits

which are our STRENGTHS.

I acknowledge and appreciate 

my own accomplishments

and talents.

I note

 when I do well 

and applaud myself 

for my merits.

Such self-appraisal

is not mere narcissism.

It is the bedrock 

of solid self-worth.

*

Today , I take

a positive inventory

of my assets.

I count and consider

my own virtues.

I notice 

what I value

and I build upon 

those values.

I become

the person

I choose to be 

*

Today I share 

with you my inspiration

for this week.

I have

 this beautiful book

PRAYERS

 TO

 THE GREAT CREATOR

by 

Julia Cameron

653 pages !

printed

on the most beautiful

kind of paper.

*

I love to have

something

to think about

*

always

*

I love 

when life

shows me

there's more 

more to see

 more to know

more to learn

always

*

surprise

*

I collect little 

wooden boats

ever since I saw

one

standing all alone

on a sales-table

*

and soon he was not

alone anymore

and the boats

kept coming

*

It's just so nice

to collect something

and keep finding

and be happy 

*

now my friend Sylvia

gave me this

and some of my

little-ones

are here now .

*

how about you

are you collecting

little things 

?

*

musing

I LOVE TO DO

and I am good 

in musing

sitting

in my garden

May 2011

I became to be 

A GRANDMOTHER

living my life

but also

as a grandmother

holding my breath

so many times

when watching

I have to celebrate

being a grandmother TOO

because

she lets me see

the world

throuhg her eyes

living LIFE 3D......

thought 

Life is a miracle

watching

through the eyes

of my children

and

of all the children

who were in my class

and yet

life keeps 

SURPRISING

me

day after day

*

wish that for 

YOU
