Spirit of the phoenix
This is a poem I wrote a while ago... thought I'd share it with you
Spirit of the Phoenix
In ashes our past lies.
Grey and dark it sleeps.
Then out of it a phoenix flies,
full of passion then it cries,
joyful tears it weeps.
Embracing life, the new to come,
the old at last is turned to young.
Its heart is full of strength and joy,
it will succeed what it will try;
Great deeds will come along!
In ashes our past lies.
Grey and dark it sleeps.
Then out of it a phoenix flies,
full of passion then it cries,
joyful tears it weeps.
Embracing life, the new to come,
the old at last is turned to young.
Its heart is full of strength and joy,
it will succeed what it will try;
Great deeds will come along!

Taken by a stranger
Sometimes it would be great to just be taken away for some nice adventures... break out from the everydays routine, see and experience new exciting things!
Unfortunately its always the "little unimportant" things like money, time, energy left after a full day, and your own (lacking) courage that stop you from breaking out and doing something unexpected, something adventurous, something new!
People are victims of their habits. Well, actually not only victims, as habits are very important to survive... you wouldnt want to have to think about how to keep your balance in every step you make in your life. We learn and get used to walking and then automaticly just walk without toppling over. Thats the mechanism of habits. We have habits everywhere in our life. And we need them. But to break out of them and do something new costs time, energy, and courage. Human nature is to be afraid of new things. Get up your courage and try something new! You'll probably enjoy it even though you might be afraid of it at first :)

Driving entertainment
I never was into audio books (I love READING them!). But somebody once gave me some she didnt need anymore. At home I don't have the peace or time to really listen to them, so they where lying around for weeks, months, me hoping my kids will want to hear them one day.
But...
one day...
I just thought, why not listen to them while driving? I don't have a CD-Player in my car (yes its that old!), but there is one in the car I use for driving around in my job.
So now every day when I get packed up for work I take care I do not only pack a little food, drink, a book in case I get an unexpected break (happens sometimes), but also the audio book I'm listening to at the moment, and I look forward to driving around and getting to hear how the story goes on :)

Perfect
Do you feel you have to be perfect? Because if you do, I have good news for you. You don't have to be. Nobody is perfect, and nobody has to be perfect. And if other people give you the feeling they want you to be perfect, then they are not worth being friends with.
Look at this tree. Its far from being perfect.
Its stem is not straight as if drawn with a ruler. It has nobs and bumps and dents and holes. But at the same time its just perfect. It looks wonderful, charming, interesting. It has its very own character that makes people look twice and admire it even with its imperfection.
You can say the same for human beings. Most of them don't look perfect. None of them have a perfect character and never make mistakes. Look at yourself! You can't say you are perfect if you're honest, because nobody is. So don't expect others to be perfect, and don't blame yourself too hard for your own mistakes. Expect other people to accept you the way you are and you will be accepted. Be gracious to those people who don't, for they don't know what we do:

Scraps
Have you ever thought big things are so exciting, just to discover they actually mean nothing to you?
Have you ever thought small things are so meaningless you didnt pay attention to them, just to discover later on they are touching, moving, lovely little wonders?
Not all that I write will mean a lot to you. It may mean nothing, you may think, what the hell is she writing there. Some things may spark some thoughts though, may call feelings upon you, memories you might have forgotten, or just pleasant moments, moments of fun. One thing may mean a lot to one person but nothing to the next. If my postings touches one heart, puts a smile on one face, makes you stop and think for a moment, it was worth posting :-)
I want to invite you to discover the world through my eyes, and it would make me happy and to hear your point of view on everything and motivate me to keep on writing this blog.
to start with, look at this picture:
it looks like something exciting doesnt it? A touch of blue between grey stones. A little piece of art.
But in reality its just cast away rubbish. A little splinter of broken glas between the gravel you tread with your feet recklessly and without thinking.
Tomorrow when you walk through your usual life, your everydays errands, keep your eyes open for something you walk past every day and never noticed. Take note of it and let me know what you found in a comment to this posting, maybe you even want to take a picture and let us all see it :-)
