Danny’s Summer Travels

I, Danny was fortunate enough to accompany my mum and family travelling to Bavaria.

First I found great bushes to climb in my auntie’s garden

while my mum tried to shoot dinner (at a Middle Age Market in Schongau)

….. we did have salad that night…. 🙂

We enjoyed driving along the Kochelsee in beautiful sunshine,

then up a mountain

and down again to the Walchensee.

There we went with a cable car to the Herzogstand and enjoyed the hot weather in 1600m height.

It was so wonderfully warm, the view was breathtaking from the top seeing so many more mountains of the Alpes.

I was allowed to sit right by the window in the cable car so I could see better going down.

It was an amazing experience for a bear. ( just a bit hot with my fur)

I am so grateful to see so many beautiful mountains, lakes and winding roads in hot sunshine.

On our way home we stopped at a really little lake/pond with a duck family which was brilliant to cool down after a hot day.

( this little one was the slowest…. so was my mum with taking the picture…)

 

A great day out for all of us!

 

Memories

Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories.

Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As it is holiday time, sunny weather, time to spend with the family or friends we will make memories.

We all take our cameras with us, take pictures and look at them later, remembering a wonderful time.

We should not just go somewhere take pictures and leave.

No, we should take the view in consciously, enjoy the very moment, then take a picture.

Like that when we look at the picture later, we have more emotions and really remember how it was then.

 

 

Therefore, to have great memories we need to walk around with our eyes open and brain working……to keep those amazing images alive in our memory.

Be conscious about what you see, what you feel and what you smell and firstly it makes you feel really alive and you have a whole lot more fantastic memories.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”

Enjoy the world and the moments consciously and you can enjoy life much more!

 

 

We make memories every day in our lives, not only on holidays.

So make sure you make and give wonderful memories , not only for yourself but also for others, your children, your parents, your friends.

 

Have a memorable day!

Woodland Walk Inspiration

Recently I went for a Woodland Walk in my area.

A tranquil place where the council encourages wild flowers to grow.

 

 

I saw many beautiful flowers in all different colours.

 

How this earth really laughs in flowers.

just as Ralph Waldo Emerson says.

Just a smile!

No words needed , just a smile! 

 

For one minute

For one minute please

stand here in silence

and look at the sky

and contemplate

how awesome life is.

 

 

Kindness for yourself

Even as kind people using kind words when we speak,

we do not follow this when we speak to ourselves.

I know I sometimes say ‘oh how stupid I am’ , after I cut myself in the finger for example.

There is no need for that as we do not need to put ourselves down.

Accidents happen and we sometimes do the wrong thing.

We do learn our lesson.

 

Listen to how you speak to yourself.

Try to use kind words to yourself

and let “kindness flood into the world”.

 

 

Changes again…

Hi there , Thomas here.

I am updating you with news from our household.

Things are constantly changing here and it is hard to keep up with it.

One minute there is furniture,

next minute an empty room,

then suddenly more boxes and

then new furniture.

Of course I am the first to try it out.

 

It got my approval, although my mum has now filled it with stuff,

so I can’t jump up anymore.

I guess that is what it is for.

I found a nice space with my friends.

The room has changed and I still find cosy places, so I am happy!

Changes can be hard

then can work out beautifully!

 

Mindful Day – Music

Today have a specially mindful day

 

How about

 

you listen to a piece of music

 

without doing something else.

 

Close your eyes and enjoy the instruments playing,

 

listen to the music in detail,

 

hear the different instruments,

 

enjoy the soothing sound,

 

give thanks to your ears picking up the sound.

 

and most of all

 

Relax

 

How about this one:
