I love to be satisfied. And I love to be eager for more!

...this dog has a lot of chichi or chi chi going on.... I just learned that the term comes from French and it's source is onomatopoeic. Imagine girls, talking with each other in a "fancy", exaggerated style... it sounds like a high pitched "chi chi chichi...."

[Paradise-on-Earth]

What is "chi chi"?

I wasn't aware that this is probably a German phrase only... it means, extra fancy or kitschy decorations and embellishments... including sticking out your pinky when drinking tea and showing off you beautiful muscles! (so, this things that are normally looked down at, but that can be SUCH fun!)

ahh I see! I love the term! It somehow suits it! It'll be fun to add it to my vocabulary and see how people respond to it!

I love it!

Day 13

"My path"...
...my path is, to "just go" (as a very wise travel advisor has told me)... take each day as it comes, and deal with the problems as good as I can, AND ENJOY THE ADVENTURE. ENJOY THE SURPRISES!



I feel SO MUCH JOY "here" and "here" and "here"! Not much needs to happen. I am soooo satisfied being where I am- mostly "disabled" in my bed. Where I have SO MUCH ability to scan what fascinates me! I know in great details what travel means this days in the luxury segment! I am fascinated what is possible, and I LOVE the awesome beautiful ideas that feel like paradise! Ohhh, this is a time of deep peace and fascinated gathering of knowledge and "taking it in", for me. No big own creativity, not much running around, no fuzz. And still- SO incredibly MUCH IS HAPPENING.

My son the Designer "flew by" from a lecture he was holding in a newly built University, and to drop off his interview in a professional journal. Of course, Mom (which is me ) is suuuuuper proud! And baking his favourite cake... While I was ruffling him boldly for being arrogant and respectless with me. Keeping the balance! ...Doing this since he's alive... and witnessing the results of him becoming babystep by babystep so much more socially compatible. Being soooo proud of this, myself.

My other son shares fascinating insights, ideas and youtube clips with me about recent political issues, and I so like to be a contemporary witness of this amazing time we all live in, and to look at the "leaders" of political- and social- and cultural life that are in the forefronts... I so love to be open for my sons opinions and informations, and the stunning insights and sharings of all sorts of passionate experts, while I know exactly what resonates with me and what not so much. I feel so well educated and right in the middle of what is shifting and changing and I still just look where it really feels good to me.

I feel so blessed to live in this thrilling days! I feel so blessed to talk to my grandkids and soothe my daughter. I feel blessed to open up a chance for his new life-dream for my 3. son, while I am enforcing boldly my needs in the whole thing. It feels RICH. It feels fascinating. It feels so joyful! It feels light. It feels easy. I AM EAGER FOR MORE!!! I am so eager for more, while I feel such satiated, loving, happy, clear PEACE.

Day 14

"My path"...
...I feel, I long for the FREEDOM. I long for my world, revolving around ME. Not catering to this crazy world And all this people who really are supposed to care for themselves, just as me!! I care to take care of ME. I long to really really be ABOUT MYSELF.

And my life really really provides a "nest" and circumstances for me where I can do that to such a huge degree! I SO ENJOY THIS!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my huge freedom!!!
And I still hesitate to fully wholly embrace it. "Abnoxiously", "outrageously" (I so love that Abe use this bold hilariously brutal words!!!). I want to be FREE, no matter what!!






Slowly, in babysteps, I am getting there. Better and better and better. Hey, "Relief" is the name of the game, right??
I AM SATISFIED with that!! And so eager for more!
