Oslo Impressions – Part 2

The city of Oslo has beautiful old buildings like the Parliament,

The University with an Aula

with paintings of Edvard Munch famous for his painting ‘The Scream‘

 

You can also visit the Rathus

a massive, dominant building at the harbour.

It took 19 years to build.

Its chimes you can hear every hour.

In this hall every year on 10th December the Nobel Prize is given out.

Part 3 coming soon.

All pictures taken by me.

 

Oslo Impressions – Part 1

Oslo is a wonderful city,

It made a tranquil impression compared to London.

It has roughly 670 000 inhabitants.

It has a beautiful Royal Palace.

Karl Johans Gate leads directly to it.

…a day to think positive…..

Let’s talk footprints.

There is a lot of talk regarding our Carbon footprint.

I challenge you to have a Positivity footprint.

 

Make it large,

make it bigger,

let it grow.

Spread it, share it, feel it.

 

 

Wishing you a awesomely positive Day!

…a day to enjoy travels …

I traveled North to Oslo for a short trip.

The first thing I saw in Oslo was the beautiful flowers everywhere in open spaces.

******

Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; 
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
~ Luther Burbank ~

 

 

 

Specially now in Summer

the flowers are the most vibrant!

Enjoy them!

They really do make the Earth laugh!

…a day to create some space

Deliberately create some space in your day

for you alone.

It may be 5 minutes or 60 minutes.

However long it is,

leave it unplanned and do something just for yourself.

Have a great me – time!

Today is …. #25

…a day for laughter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in the future?
Candidate: I think I will still be using mirrors in the future.

 

 

A group at a MENSA (IQ 150+) meeting were having lunch at a local restaurant when one noticed that the salt shaker was filled with pepper and the pepper shaker was filled with salt.

After a lengthy discussion they determined that they could swap the contents to match the correct shakers. All they needed was a straw and an empty saucer.

They called over their waitress (IQ much less than 150) and pointed out their concerns. Without hesitation she switched the lids, said “problem solved”, and walked away from the now shocked and silenced Mensa table.

 

 

 

Have a fun day with lots of laughter!

Today is …. #23

…a day to surprise myself.

I surprise myself and the world around me.

I do something no one expects me to do.

for example

I go dancing

I greet strangers with hello and a smile,

I put colourful clothes on which don’t really fit together.

I might be really quiet today as I am usually loud, or vice versa

It feels liberating to do something different for one day,

to get out of the ordinary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What did you do different today?

…a day to slow down…

 

Nature does not hurry,

yet everything is accomplished. 

Lao Tzu

 

 

 

 

We all dash from one place to another-

slow down with mindful walking.

Take slower breaths,

watch your feet as you place them on the ground,

and bring awareness to your body as it moves.

Take your time,

just as nature does!

… a day to remember.

Today would be my mum’s 93rd Birthday.

I miss her very much.

When I visited my mum,

we used to play cards together

we used to do crosswords,

we sang together,

we talked together.

We phoned often and she would describe how the tree outside the window has grown.

she was a great dancer,

she had so much love,

she listened to all our stories,

we sang together often,

we laughed often.

 

Love never seizes.

Never forget to tell someone if you love them!

Sending you all so much love ♥♥♥

Today is …. #19

…a day to be madly in love with myself.

 

Love Yourself.

See the Good.

Be Calm.

Find Joy.

Give Thanks.

 

 

The love of my life begins with me.

I love and enjoy myself.

 

If we truly love ourselves
in spite of our flaws
then we can love others
in spite of theirs.
