Moments

In my room hangs a sign above my desk saying:
"day by day old joy comes back to me" 
It's a line from a Noah and the Whale song.
For the last couple of months this line became my personal motto.
I decided to leave all the bad stuff behind,
to make a fresh start, to learn to love myself.
To shut up those voices
that are telling me that I am not enough.

And suddenly there were so many moments filled with pure happiness.
Feeling the sun warming my face,
admiring the first signs of spring,
being invited to pancake parties,
sitting in tiny living rooms full of people and dogs and laughter and love.
Reading Tolstoi while listening to Led Zeppelin
and let literature and music indulge my soul.

And now I am here
writing
without wondering whether it is good or bad
or what people might think.
Just doing it because
it fills me with joy.

Sonntag

Sonnenstrahlen tanzen über den Tisch
Aus dem Backofen weht Kuchenduft herüber,
vermischt sich mit dem Geruch frisch gewaschener Wäsche.
Die Sonne wärmt mir das Gesicht,
kalter Wind an den Beinen
frische Luft in meinen Lungen.
Ein Mann mit einem Hund läuft vorüber,
pfeift ein Lied und lächelt.
Der Platz oben ganz vorne im Bus ist noch frei,
wir fahren vorbei an Bäumen mit winzigen Knospen
und Krokussen in Vorgärten.
In mir ein Lied,
das handelt von der Liebe Gottes.
Ein Funken Glück,
und Frieden so tief wie das Meer.

I'm not single, I'm independent

Happy February 14th everyone!
I personally hate do not really like Valentine's day, not because I am single, I just think it is very unoriginal.
And all those corny teddys stuffed with chocolate holding plush hearts everywhere creep me out. I hope no one will ever give me such a cheesy gift.
Anyway.
It is the day of love or of depressed singles something like that,
and so I thought I share this video which is about the greatest love of all.
I know that this has been posted a lot on facebook,
but I think it's brilliant so here you go.

I'm in love

We have all got choices to make
And this one is mine:
Even now, here's my heart God.

Your love is sweeter than honey
Your love is stronger than death
Your love lifts me off my burdens
And teaches me to dance.

Dreams of Summer

This week I've been ill.

While I was laying in bed, going from shivering to breaking out in sweat I was dreaming of summer. 

How nice it would be to sit oustide, eat ice cream, ride my bike, swim in a lake, travel to Italy, have barbecue partys, hear the birds whistling and to be warm.

"Life goes on, it gets so heavy"

And so laying underneath those stormy skies
she'd say: "oh I know the sun must set to rise."

Yes. That's me.

February, be welcomed.

One twelth of 2012 is already over and there is a 1 again on my calendar.

This month...

I am trying to get in the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

I want to take more pictures and spend more time reading.

I'm looking forward to the visit of my brother and hopefully to the arrival of spring.

Have a good february everyone!
