Mothers' day

Today it is Mothers Day

Not in England, not in the UK at all. Brexit is nothing new :) :)

But, in a lot of countries, it is mothers'  day. We could all see it in the shops, the past weeks, the prices of perfumes, chocolate and flowers went up, and all the sudden Mother seemed to be the most important word of business.

We all have a mother, also we all are able to rely on this. When our mother is gone (likemine), it is a day on what we can look back, and think for a moment, at what she meant for us.
When our mother is there, we can celebrate it. We can give gifts, and we can visit our mom.
And I personally think, that the best thing that people can give their mom, at Mothers' day, is to make sure, that she will not be forgotten. That gift lasts longer then a bunch of flowers, or a weekend in a wellness oasis (what the......, I should be angry with such gift, I  think I am good enough 'the way I am'  :) LOL) 

And then, I read at facebook. 
Mothers who feel not like being mothers, because their children hurt her. Sometimes I hate Facebook, for giving us the possibility to share our sadnes.  Is it helpful to get a thumb up when you are feeling low and out?
 Mothers with big cakes. Next week we see the photos of mom in the gym., the gift from the other child..
Mothers with (grand)children.  Ah yes, lovely.  Happy faces!  I love happy faces!
Every day of the year.  And I love my mother. Even when no one in my family believes me.  Oh oh.... Now I do the same.... Telling my blog my private sorrows..  Or not? 
I did my good deed, for my mother today.  Making a step into the direction, that she always loved to see me in. It is up to me. I have the chance to make things better.   I can not tell her anymore about it, but I think she will see it. And, if I am lucky, she sends me a sign, like she always does, when it is good. 

I look to it, until I find it.  And it not necessarily needs to be mothers' day, to find it.  And, I not only love my mother, today, and every other day of my life.  Just saying :)

Letting go

There is that song that goes .. the hardest part of love, is letting go.

Who has children, can rely on that.
Who has lost a lovely person, as well

But, it is as well the only way we can go.  Letting go, is what to do, when you really want the other to be free.
And, most important, if you, yourself, need a freedom, what you can not gain with the other.

I think that is the magic word in this.. Freedom.
What is a relation, or a friendship, worth, when it all depends on the wishes and desires of one?
What is a friendship worth, if the other is so busy with his own doings, that (s)he barely takes time for you? What when you ask for a word, and there is never time for it, when YOU need it, but it has to be at the time that the other has nothing (better) to do?

People can call me friend, and I love it, but it is not always friendship, what the other means.
We learn it the hard way.  I have not many friends, but the friends that I do have, are loyal, and always there when I need them.  They let me free, I let them 'go', and we know that we will always be able to find each other again. When it is needed, an open  ear or eye is there. And then is distance not an excuse. Either is 'I have no time'.
If you really want to be there for the other, lend him/her an ear.  Listen to what (s)he has to say.  Just listen.. you need not to solve the problems from others.

Sometimes friendships change. And then, all the sudden, it is a one way love.  You will get hurt from it, until the moment that you realize, that you are acting all the way to please, or get attention from, the other. You change your schedule. You answer the phone when (s)he calls, and when you calls, there is no time.
Let it go.
If you love yourself, then don't let yourself being hurted by the other.
You are too much worth, to dance the rythm of someone else, who is dancing at his/her own music.

Kick the ball in the goal of the other, instead of waiting for the shot at yours.

Break free..  Let go.  It is the hardest way, but it is very much worth it!

Good Friday /Karfreitag

Deutsche Tekst unter der Englische

Good Friday

A day to get to rest.

To leave the thoughts,
And being simply you.

Everything changes, every time again

And, surely in our world from faster and more, it often is difficult to find this rest.
And to keep it.

I do hope, that you can use this day, to be simply you

Everything is fine, now
You are fine, now

Your lufe is fine now.

Sure we all should like to see things changing
Less stress, less pain

I think that it is helpful already, when you face the things as they are, now.

Now, as in at this moment.
Now, also, not next year, next month, not tomorrow.

Enjoy the moment.  I hope you enjoy reading this
I did enjoy writing the blog, and I like that you read it! <3 br="">
And later, I will enjoy what comes at my path. I look forward it, but... I enjoy the now a little bit more :)

Karfreitag

Einen Tag um zu Ruhe zu kommen.

Die Gedanken zu lassen,
Und einfach dichselbst zu sein.

Alles ändert sich, immer wieder

Und, sicher  in unserem Welt voll mitschneller und mehr, fallt es manchmal schwer, die Ruhe zu finden.
Und dann zu behalten.

Ich hoffe, das Ihr diesen Tag benützen kann, um einfach dichselbst zu sein

Es ist gut so.
Du bist gut so.

Dein Leben ist gut do.

Natürlich möchtet man manchmal etwas ändern.
Weniger Stress, weniger Schmerzen

Ich denke, das es schon hilft, wenn Du alles sieht so wie sue sind.
Jetzt, auf diese Moment.
Jetzt, also nicht nächstes Jahr, nächste Monat, nicht Morgen.

Freue dich, über was möglicherweise mal kommt.
Freue dich mehr, über was jetzt ist.

Ich habe mir gefreut, dieses Blog zu schreiben, und ich freue mich das Du es liest.

Und gleich freue ich mich über... ähmm.. ich lass mich von dem Moment überrasschen

On fire

So, one of the most important buildings, in History, in the world, did get on fire and is (partially)  destroyed.   Horrible, I shed some tears about it.

There are, of course, worse things happening, and there are less worse things happening. 
The worst thing that happened, were the reaction of some people. 
First, as expected, the haters (right winged) came up with that it most likely was an attack, or a damage on purpose from one of the workers in the Cathedral.  Disgusting, enough said!

It was great, to see that people started to spend money, for a quck rebuilding.  Bang... another tear.

And, of course, on that came some reactions a welll.  Such as.. the church is rich enough, they not need that money...  And of course the royal millions from people who have a lot of money, will not hurt those people, but... it proves that they do care.  Even if it might be a publicity deed, it still is a lot of money that they donate, and  I think the world can be happy with it, when the Notre Dame is rebuild fast and good.

It is, of course, a bit bitter, when we see the poor people, holding up their hands for one or two Euro, or the refugees, that are not welcome, and then, in this case, a happy spended amount what could have saved many people too.. 
But, let's be frank and honest.   There should be not a single person more be helped, when this disaster had not taken place.
There should not have been any more people saved.

Let's not take sides in this.  It is not worth it.  It is good, that this money came, so spontaneous.  And if you really care about others, who get nothinig... Well... do something!  Donate, support the workers or whatever.  Only that way you can prove, how important people are.  Life matters!

Leaving Twitter

Oh, what a blog title.  So dramatic!

Yes, it is true, I am leaving Twitter.  I will not give up my account, but I will not use it very much anymore.
I will use it to share my photos, incidentically, and that is it.

It is already a longer time that I do not check the messages at Twitter.  I stopped doing it, while I had that strange feeling in my head, between being curious and being frustrated.
There is so much hate, people write so much, without feeling restricted.  Hate speeches, bullying, heaven knows what all more.

There was a point that I knew that,when I checked Twitter, I should find hate, violence, and all the other things that I not wanted to find.

With the arrival of the idiot of America on it, it has became even worse. He is in that a trend setter, but of course, everyone, in person, is responsible for his own behavior.
For me Social Media are nice, to contact with friends, and to share information,  mainly photos and poetry.  But I always said, that I stay, as long as it makes fun.

Therefore, bye bye Twitter, and hello to all of you, who can read me elsewhere.

The King

3 Kings came, from far
To see the new born King
They did follow a star
And were convinced that it should bring them
To that important place

I do believe in fairy tales
They make me smile, for all
Because they lead to a peaceful place
Where you don't beat your head
Against the wall
