Nostalgia

I was back home in Germany for a weekend and enjoyed a peaceful quiet time with my mum.

I wanted to share her beautiful garden, now in spring!

Going home does feel like going back in time.

There are some old picture in the house from my grandad.

This is him on the right with his brother before the first world war.

Below is a painted picture, painted by a war time painter friend of him – as I remember him.

Always a bow tie and his wooden stick.

He lost his leg in the first world war on his 21st birthday. I have read his war diary, an amazing read.

I used to sit on his wooden leg and it was very slippy, I enjoyed that very much, so did he.

I called him “Opa”. He died when I was 9.

I don’t remember that much but I have these lovely memories of him playing with me on his lap and underneath his office desk.

I love that picture in our frontroom, I loved him.

It is wonderful to think of happy times from the past,

the people we loved,

and that we made them happy then.

Nothing changed, he is still loved and I still hope to make people happy!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

Sunshine and Warmth

Let the warmth come,

plesae sun,

Push away the clouds,

and show your beautiful face.

Wishing you a day full of sunshine,

and if the sun does not shine

The precious heart

Recently I joined a gym and I am exercising a bit more than before to keep fit.

I got my self a heart rate monitor to see my pulse easier while training. I was totally amazed what my heart does, in harmony with what my body does.  As soon as I relax it relaxes and the heart rate goes down. Carrying heavy shopping it adjusts to more pumping due to me needing more oxygen. My son explained it to me scientifically, I shall not go into that.

I do need to say that I have such admiration and respect for my heart and I will always treat it the best way I can. Our body is such a mysterious and complicated mechanism, it is awesome how God has constructed it.

Wow

The heart

an amazing part of your body

it keeps you alive,

it speaks to you,

it overrules the brain sometimes,

it shows love!

This is a stone my son found on a Scottish beach and he gave it to me! A treasure!

Treat your body with respect!

Have a fabulous day!

My treasure

My treasure is not hidden,

no it is all open right here:

Yes it is YOU my blogger friends

you are my wonderful treasure.

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart

for visiting me

for reading my posts,

for leaving comments.

Your comments touch my heart and I treasure each one of you. I value your honest words. Some make me smile, some make me laugh, some make me cry because they are so beautiful. You make my blog what it is and a Thank You is not enough to express my gratitude. You really don’t know how much you mean to me! I love to connect with you who show me their warmth , love and compassion.

I wished I could all give you something special, in the cyberworld,

I will give you a huge cyberhug and my honest love.

An ordinary day ?

A day of travel,

with many impressions.

Kind people,

greeting the pilot,

up in the air.

The beauty of nature presents itself

flying through the clouds,

the fluffy cloud carpet,

ready to jump in,

sunrays going through cloud holes

a spectacular sight.

Watching the sun go down,

a big yellow orange ball,

an amazing display.

An ordinary day

has become an amazing day!

 

 

Little things can make a big difference to your day!

Find them,

enjoy them and

Have an amazing day!

The Art of Being Happy

It’s a good day to be happy.

Happiness is contagious, remember

The more we give, the more we get.

Sending lots of happiness your way!

Poetry – another attempt

I realised it is April, poetry month, and it is nearly over

Dreaming

Togetherness,

holding hands,

looking into your eyes,

walking in the moonlight together,

counting the stars,

being close,

touching softly,

kissing gently,

passion ignites,

wow

to be in your arms,

feeling them around me,

don’t let go,

touching your face,

trace your lips,

kiss you softly,

feel your hands on me,

kiss you greedyly,

enjoy your touch,

be close to your body,

pleasure, bliss,

and enjoy the oneness.
