My daughter asking me to take a selfie, while I innocently prepare dinner...


My son the designer, embellishing the objects on the breakfast-table with tiny cartoons or funny comments


my son the trickster, having climbed up the facade into the 1. floor to flirt with his wife

I am sooo satisfied!
All this big and tiny moments... my family in all it's beauty and it's contrast, and it's mundane, and it's soul-touching moments that ALL are sooo precious. Walking together, talking together, needing a small break from each other and some me-time... discussing without seeing the others stance, and trying to find back into peace. IT ALL has it's beauty, it's greatness, it's right moment. We came to live the contrast and finetune where we are! And we also came to enjoy and bask and laugh and love, straight, deep, and sometimes unconditionally!

- After about 15 minutes of meditation I heard the word "Mayfair" and saw people cheering - so I wonder if this will be a good place to go for the Northern Lights or if it means something else. Seems unlikely for the Northern Lights which should be better seen outside the city-lights area, not in the centre of it so maybe it's a message about something else.

- I saw snippets of everyday scenes: (My father working in the garden; people doing some work for us at the house.) I don't think I saw anything that felt important today. But that's ok - all is well

I ponder what my son said yesterday, who lives in Munich that the Northern Lights had been seen there (while he was in our place) in the centre of this big city, with the exact worlds "So unlikely for the Northern Lights where you should think they'd be better seen outside the city-lights area, not in the centre of it!?" I get goosebumps by realizing HOW MUCH we all are connected! Even if we don't know each other. I am so satisfied by REALIZING the connection, and the answers... that flow THROUGH me!

I ponder that I never had experienced such wonderful, peaceful scenery as witnessing my father working in the garden... and how PRECIOUS I think, such a memory is!
I ponder how incredibly thankful I always was when I had people over to work at our house (as normally, W. and I did it all on ourselves). What some people think is not of any importance, would have such a light, bold meaning to *me*. REALIZING this is soooo satisfying!

Thank you so much Cookie, for sharing your thoughts! It is of SUCH inspiration for me!! I ponder, what seems not significant to *me* that others might celebrate or deeply desire?

I am eager to be even deeper aware of the every-day-miracles that are on my life. Probably, each second holds such preciousness. I am eager to come deeper into the bliss of KNOWING and REALIZING. What an ecstatic way of life this would be!


It is SO satisfying to live.
And I am so, so thankful for where I am already! And, I am eager for more!

My home... on my way from the train-station

oh what a beautiful sunrise! So vibrant! I love the perfect smooth colour gradient! It must have felt joy-filled driving alongside it

Reading your morning rampage, I feel I am now starting my day on a higher vibration! I love your work

I'm SO glad it serves you!
Yes, it was an awesome moment of feeling gifted by nature! I had to stop and take a picture. While, our eyes see so much more than the camera...
and it doesn't hear the larks, singing ("talkin-talking-talking") high in the skies! And it doesn't smell the heavy sweet fragrance of the rapeseed-fields on the other side... and it doesn't feel the fresh moisture on the face...

Ahhh, life is so good! And even better when theres someone so open to see it, too, for sharing!

I now feel it on even more delicious dimensions as you bring it to life in your beautiful description!

Now you inspired me to enjoy the beauty of my home even more

Thank you!!

My house in the early morning

I am soooo satisfied!
I lay on my bed, embraced by the morning sun. No place can be more paradisy than this, here and now... and I FEEL this quote so within me, that FeelGood just posted.

I am SO satisfied, NOW!
I am so satisfied, listening to the concerto of the birds.
I am so satisfied about the fact that- even the "air" is FULL with sounds of birds and the hum of the bees, it feels so QUIET. how can that be?
It feels peaceful. It feels tranquil. It feels delightful. It feels calm. It feels eternal... and I soo enjoy it. I AM THERE. I am, here and now!



When I pulled in, coming home from the train station (shuttling DH) this morning, I "embraced" my front yard.
The weeds are not pulled and the little fence is crooked... and I noticed how I started to be bothered, started to make a list in my mind "what needs to be done", and then, I let go. And, I was just THERE. I enjoyed the colors (my favourite color of blue, and it was such fun to paint it, 25 years ago!)
I remember, we didn't have the money for a "real", full-hight fence. So we bought the fence fields we could affford, cut them into half the size- and voila, now it was a mini-fence, and enough to span it all!

That this tiny garden exists was due to an act of stubborness of mine, anyway. I always had WANTED A FRONT GARDEN!!! DH, and the major, and my grandpa all told me that we would have a huge backyard, and I should be satisfied. And, that this 1.5meter strip in front of our house "was NO front yard", and we should pave it to have a neat and clean continuity to the street. I insisted on planting it with roses- and THEN I was satisfied! And then, we got gifted with old window-lintels from natural stone from a demolition, and I laid them around my beloved tiny garden so that everybody would honor it's borders. And then, we added the mini-fence on top, and DH turned the beautiful finish-ornaments. And, ta-daaa... there was the front yard, that at first nobody could see, and now, everyone did. And we ALL were satisfied!



...I remember so many moments, where I insisted on finding the precious in the "impossible". I wanted so much to own an archway in my garden, but- again, we didn't have money to plant the classic golden chain-tree, or wisteria, not even to speak of build wooden trellises or just arches to give the climbers support. So, we were cutting an arm full of willow stakes, and simply pushed them into the earth, later complimented with the cheapest seedlings from hornbeam. They grew, and a few years later, we had a glorious, elegantly weeping archway. Decorated with a turned-around old water-bassin, that had resisted beeing demolished even before we had moved in, and a project I had created from concrete and collected shells.

BEING THERE, seeing what-is, finding the treasures in what is garbage for others... I AM SOO SATISFIED whenever I do that! I am so satisfied in having shown myself, and my mate and my children, how to do "miracles". It is easy, once you know how to look, and how to trust your dreams!


My archway in my back yard

I feel satisfied!! I feel eager for more. I feel proud! I feel rich. I feel ALIVE. I feel so thankful, for the connectedness that makes me so full-filled, so alive and lively, with the here-and-now. I AM HERE! And that feels sooooo full and happy and eager and good!!

This is SO inspiring for me! I loved reading this story of the creation of your beautiful front yard!
I'm so happy you shared this!


Resourcefulness like yours - finding ways to make things work with what you have - is always so feel-good for me to observe! I am in a gardening group on facebook where a lot of people like to find things from their home to use to create structures and aids in their garden and I'm always filled with goosebumps and appreciation at their cleverness, their resourcefulness, their out-of-the-box thinking. I love the idea of looking at something intended for a clear purpose, and finding a completely new unexpected purpose for it. It is so creative! I love it!
