Make your life good
We can't control
the number of our days,
but we can control
the quality of them.

The Gift of Life ♥
My favourite composer
summed up the gift of life
in beautiful words.
The Gift of life
We are surrounded by such unbelievable beauty.
Life is enigmatic.
Life is delicate.
Life is painful.
Life is inspiring.
Life is love.
Life is the tears we shed
in joy and in sorrow.
Life is magical.
Life is the greatest gift!
(Thomas Bergersen - Illusions)

Leiden / The Netherlands
In the Netherlands we stayed in a very
beautiful quirky Bed and Breakfast in Leiden.
Leiden is a University town 30 minutes from Amsterdam.
It is a beautiful town with everything Amsterdam has,
yet it is smaller and a lot more peaceful.
Every goodbye is
the birth of a memory.

Impressions from Leiden.
Rembrandt was born in Leiden 1606
Our accommodation was an artist’s home.
‘Second Life Art’ is using second hand household articles
to make his art.
A true artist perseveres,
no matter what the critics say.
Dutch Proverb
Here are some art pieces in our home from home.
Enough is better
than
too much.
Dutch Proverb
We loved Leiden so much,
We will visit it again.
♥ Loved everything ♥
He who is outside his door
has the hardest part of his journey
behind him.

Tulips from Amsterdam
A short trip to Amsterdam / Keukenhof
I must have flowers,
always and always.
Claude Monet
We spent a day in Keukenhof
to see the most amazing tulips.
Keukenhof is a beautiful garden full of tulips
you can get lost in.
Amidst life's chaos,
find your happiness
in the simle elegance of tulips.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No words needed for such beauty.
A tulip doesn't strife to impress anyone.
It doesn't struggle to be different than the rose.
It doesn't have to.
It is different.
And there is room in the garden for every flower.
You don't have to struggle to make your face different
than anyone else on earth.
You are unique
because you were created this way.
Marianne Williamson.
Tulips are poets of the garden,
whispering tales of strength and beauty
to those who listen.
Alice Hoffman
I have never seen so many tupils together. ( 7 million bulbs)
It is so worth a visit.
Enjoy every single tulip

Bluebell time ♥
During a walk in the woods, I found many lovely Bluebells.
English Bluebells are delicate and look fragile.
They are coming in my garden too.
I do have both types, they are quite different.
English bluebell left, Spanish Bluebell right
These below are in my garden
I have many white English Bluebells
The Bluebell is the sweetest flower
that waves in Summer air.
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
to soothe my spirits care.

Take care of yourself ♥
Look after yourself
Eat right today,
speak positive thoughts to yourself,
forgive yourself and
be just a little bit better
than you were yesterday.
That's more than most will do... 🙂
Wishing you an amazing week,
my friends!

Short outing – London
On my way to the Embassy
I walked through Green Park in London.
Green Park is green 🙂
Now in Spring are various Daffodills out..
I passed lovely old houses
and the Hotel I used to work, long time ago.
I walked through Wellington Arch
and saw a Royal Coach.
Saw some of the few of the old Telephone boxes
Even a brief visit is wonderful in London.
Always keep your eyes open for beautiful things.
We should walk in such a way
that every step can bring us to the here and the now.
Walking is the best possible exercise.
Sometimes a short walk down memory lane
is all it takes to appreciate
where you are today.

One Minute Sunshine
I love this shadow off the grass on the marble effect kitchen splashback
with the sun shining through the window.
Never wait
for the perfect moment,
use the moment and
make it perfect.
