"Nothing matters more to me, than that I feel good."
(Abe)

...I enjoy my tipping point!
I react joyfully from ITV now, and so, it all turns out wonderful!

Day 5

I REALLY was miffed today about something. And then, I decided to allow my mood instead of pushing against it, and ENJOYED (!!) a f*- rampage!! It helped to let it go without feeling sanctimonious. I managed not to go into shame about being angry. Somehow, it just was authentic. That was... feeling good!
Just embracing what-is, nooo pushing against it! Just controlling myself to not go overboard in a way I did not want- and that is good-feeling, too.

And then, my son and my daughter got my so dreamed of Schaumküsse. 175 pieces!
They had todrive 4 hrs to do so, but they agreed (and I had asked for) as they picked up J.'s stepson for Christmas, and it was on the way. I SO LOVED TO GET THE PHOTO OF THE BOXES!
I, at first, was a bit in fear and shame that my family might judge me for being SO exuberant, and so ravenously and so NOT humble, while -they are NOT all for myself. I will give 4 boxes of them to J and J.'s family in law, with whom they will celebrate Christmas, and there will be 11 children and 12 grownup's! 1 box was going to the family of the stepson. 2 boxes I kept for give-aways and our own family. And all of that feels so good.

I really really REALLY wanted this exuberant richness! And when my son F teasingly asked "Do you think it will be enough?", I was in Alignment! I went with the tease, and we had such fun!! And I think, my family is proud of me, no matter how much they tease. But even if they wouldn't, I stood my stance. I was having a straight spine, as we Germans say! IT FELT SO GOOD!!! THIS IS MY LIFE! And I can decide as I want! (And I so enjoyed that DH liked it, from the beginning!)

I do big things. I am not normal! I love to be generous. I love to see people smile! And: I feel soooo proud!

"Do you think it will be enough?"

How beautiful that your son and daughter are helping so generously! Generosity runs in the family it seems!

When the much anticipated treats finally arrived... did you have a taste of one yet? I'm so curious how they are!

ohh, thank you!!
The kisses REALLY are delicious! The wafers underneath are so fresh as well, and the cream is heavenly! The chocolate is a pretty thick coat of pure real chocolate, not the cheap mix of some chocolate (if you are lucky) + mostly palm-fat, so that the coverings can be super-thin. My kids came to late to be able to buy the taste-variety "rum", but they got "normal", "coco" (with coco-shavings IN the filling and generously sprinkled on the kiss) and mocha (coffee)- which is my favourite!! I admit, it is probably not worth it to drive 4 hrs just to get them- but when we drive by, we would buy them again (certainly in May, when the strawberry-filling is on!).

My kids had SO MUCH FUN with this drive, finally doing something together and really spending some time with each other! Nici is 8 years younger than his sister, and so, the age-difference and the fact that Jana become mother of 3 hindered them a long time to hang out, while Heiko and Nici (2 years apart) where always best friends. Heikos wife is 5 years older than him, and she befriended Jana in an instant! Now they all love to hang out together. They visited H. in Stuttgart yesterday night also on their way home, and loved it! a win-win-win-win!

mm the mocha one sounds like it would be my favourite too just from the flavours in it!

Road trips are such a good opportunity for quality time together. And what a great bonus they got to visit Heiko thanks to this trip!

Yes, yes!! and they brought Nicis trailor home from Heiko- filled up to the brim with fantastic tools that Heiko had saved from a dump, and an old dream-motorbike Nici and Wolf bought from H. for very cheap money, who had saved it from a barn -the owner wanted to throw it away! Our family LOVES to save awesome stuff! "Surprise and delights"...
