stripes or dots or ....BOTH

.
*
Today
the sun is shining 
and a new week
is waiting
*
Musing
and sipping my coffee
*
monday's musing
is always 
promessing
*
tomorrow
little EVA will be
11 months !
She is doing 
her first steps
her mother or father
holding her
 by the hands
*
Safe and trusting
learning and trying
*
happy 
monday
musing
for all
of YOU

*
We have made it
to the shore !
Elisabeth's chemo's
are
DONE
*
when she was in the hospital
having the last chemo
she received a phonecall
She was the winner
in a game from the Phone-company.
*
She won
a weekend for two
in a bed and breakfast
in Utrecht
and  traintickets
to go to Amersfoort
on Saturday
and overthere
they can use
two Vespa scooters
all day
*
So
when she is feeling better
She has a wonderful
weekend waiting 
*
When she was 
HOME
after the chemo
she went to bed 
to sleep 
*
in the mean time
there was a message spoken
on her voicemail

Her application
for a certificate of urgency
to become a house
has been allot.
So 
within three months
she will have
her own house
*
She was
OVER THE MOON
so happy
and the timing
was 
MIRACULOUS
*
a
 new
 beginning
*
Miracles
happen

I will know
each and every day
how
blessed we are

colour your day


*
Why
do two colors
- put one next to the other -
.......SING.......
Can one really
explain this ?

NO

Just as 
one can never learn
how to paint.

Pablo Picasso

*
colors
put next to the other ....sing
I think 
that's sometimes also
with us 
*

*
When
I
loved myself
enough
I began 
to feel
a divine presence
in me 
and hear
its guidance.
I am learning
to trust
this
and live from it 
Kim McMillen

*
Maybe
I'm oldfashioned
but
Loving YOURSELF ? ? ?
always 
far too busy
taking care
and doing the best I could .....
*
I learned
about
loving yourself
from my
ELISABETH
she has always had that
and said that 
I LOVE MYSELF 
AND I LOVE MY LIFE 
hearing that
I always thought
............OH MY.........
she does NOT have that
from me !
*
only since 
the last year
I am learning
trying to understand
how it works 
*
now
I found this book
called
WHEN I LOVED
MYSELF
ENOUGH
and
I love
being inspired
by a book 
*
What book
is your latest inspiration
and why ?
*
I love to know !

sprinkle stardust

*
A mother
is a person
who
seeing there are only
four pieces of pie
for five people
promptly
announces
she never did care
for pie
*
Nobody
can do
for little children
what
grandparents do
Grandparents
sort of
sprinkle stardust
over
the lives
of
little children
*
Grandma always
made you feel
she had been waiting
to see just you
all day
and now
the day
was
complete
*
Perfect love
sometimes
does not come
until
the first grandchild

welsh proverb
*
Being
a mother
of
FOUR
who are
grown-ups
and
a grandmother
of little
EVA
10 months now
is
quite an
experience
*
today
my Elisabeth
28 years young
is having her
FIFTH
chemo
because she was diagnosed
with breastcancer
in november 2011.
Five chemo's allready
and
ONLY ONE TO GO
after this .
*
She is so brave
and doing the best she can
having one breast and
no hair ......
*
You would think
when this happens
a mother is going to take care
like when children were little.
*
No such thing
My daugther is 28
and wants to live her own life
and seeing
how difficult it all is
for her mother
is
not what helps
*
I had this
kind of romantic idea
of being a sort of
Florence Nightingale
and cuddle her
as much as I could .
*
She wanted needed space
and I saw
she found her way
in all of this
*
She is still
the bright and sparkling
Elisabeth
and
I
can be her mother
and cuddle
and admire
her courage !
*
lets think
of mothers
and grandmothers
and
live and love life
as it is
SURPRISINGLY
WONDERFUL
*

gardening


*
My
garden
is
full
of
surprises
*
I never have a plan
I do whatever seems right
I find things
and make something
out of nothing
*
that's what I like the most
making something new
from something old.
*
Give old stuf a new life
and
the birds love that too
They always find their way
to MY garden .
They are always
happy
messing around
in my garden
*
I always have
a lot of
teeming little insects
hidden everywhere
*
They live in my garden !
We happy live together .
*
Wish you
happy gardening too
