...olvida el deseo del oro del "hombre rico"

Todo lo que deseas esta en tu alma

Lo puedes hacer si lo intentas

todo lo que tienes que hacer hijo es estar satisfecho

 

Y se una clase de hombre sencillo

Se algo que te guste y comprendas

Se una clase de hombre sencillo

No lo harías por mi hijo mio si pudieras?

The Simple Life?

 

A "road trip" for the Amish means more than taking a quick shower, racing to the dryer to pull out freshly cleaned clothes to wear and patting on some makeup before turning out the lights on your way out and turning the key to the engine - stopping briefly on your way out of town to gas up the car.

 

The horse has to be fed, watered, kept in shape, hooves shod, well trained and well behaved. Then you also have to do upkeep on the carriage and make sure any rotting or drying leather is repaired or replaced. Then you have to take the time to brush the horse to get off any loose dirt that can rub a sore into its withers or elsewhere when it is tacked up. You also have to know how the tack goes on and get it on securely but not too tight.

 

Your children are finally all fed and cleaned up and dressed - we won't even go into how long that took without electric or modern conveniences... just picture the clotheslines dotting the Amish country with handwashed clothes swaying in the breeze. You too, are finally ready to go, with your nice dress and bonnet.

 

That horse has to be kept steady when there is a semi truck riding too close behind or barreling down the road toward it head on. After all, you have precious cargo in that carriage... and no seat belts. No adjustable seats for you. No shocks to absorb the pavement - for you, your family or the horse.

 

How long does it take to drive into town when you average 5-8 mph? Try it sometime. They were at least 15 miles from the nearest small town in the direction they were headed. 2-1/2 hours in to town to do their business and pick up supplies and then 2-1/2 hours drive back home. Can you imagine how many times you might hear, "Are we there yet?"

 

They can't lock up the carriage when they are in town so they carry their purchases from store to store. Their horse is expected to stand patiently, while flies pester it. Then expected to get them safely back home. No cell phone to call anyone for help should they lose a wheel or the horse go lame. No, they don't just pull a car into the garage and forget it when they get home. They carefully remove the tack, brush out the horse and make sure it has plenty of hand raked hay and water for the night.... all before sitting down at their own supper.

 

And yet, it is a simpler life. Where you know what goes into cleaning your clothes, into the foods that you eat, how things work and how to appreciate what God gave you.

 

If you have a trip planned to Amish country, make sure you get up early one morning and go for a walk. When you hear the clop clop clop of the horse's hooves hitting the pavement, I hope it makes you think about the lives of the people and animals who live that way and I hope you appreciate all they have to offer.

 

There's nothing quite as rewarding as being among them and feeling that peace.

While the train was simple, Marquette Rails Santa trains meant everything to the communities and the employees put a lot of time and effort into the trains to make them go off without a hitch. The first couple years the train consisted of GMTX 2635, hopper 7000, boxcar 1009 and caboose 3158 with MQT logos on the sides of each and decorated with lights, garland and wreathes. This entire consist is made up one once off MQT equipment, the 2635 was the only GMTX unit to get the MQT logo and lettering on the side, the 7000 was the only hopper to get the same treatment, the 1009 was the only boxcar out of a fleet of almost 200 to get the MQT Monon logo on it and the caboose was MQT's only caboose.

 

The train would cover the entire railroad in one day, here in some fresh snow the train slows for the next stop behind me in the small village of Scottville. The train would make a short stop here followed by Ludington before the sun would go down. The entire Manistee sub would be in the cover of darkness with the train tying up at Manistee in a few hours.

Relaxing day at home, just checking out the backyard, and off to see granddaughters this afternoon.

I walk among the trees thinking I already took picture of everything in the forest in all those years. Tons of photos of every season, every weather, every emotion. And then a fog falls down and it is like a new world to explore all again. Yet sometimes it is better to keep it simple.

The Toast Rack, (the Hollings Building), is a Modernist structure in Manchester, England.

 

Completed in 1960 as the Domestic Trades College, it became part of Manchester Polytechnic, then Manchester Metropolitan University, until closure of the campus in 2013.

 

Designed by the city architect, Leonard Cecil Howitt, it is known as the Toast Rack due to its distinctive form, which reflects its use as a catering college.

 

The architecture critic Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as "a perfect piece of pop architecture".

 

It was Grade II listed in April 1998 by English Heritage who describe the structure as, "a distinctive and memorable building which demonstrates this architect's love of structural gymnastics in a dramatic way".

 

A semi-circular restaurant block is attached to the west and is informally known as the "Poached Egg".

 

Manchester Metropolitan University left their Hollings campus in 2013 as they consolidated their facilities towards the city centre.

 

The building is awaiting redevelopment.

Dạo này thật nhiều việc đến với mình!

Đôi khi rất muốn chết nhưng không được……Thật sự rất áp lực.

Mất cân bằng trong cuộc sống !

Hiện giờ tôi đang chênh vênh giữa đại dương không có bờ

Đang bị dồn nén,bế tắc giữa xã hội rối loạn không lối thoát…..

Thật sự mất phương hướng

Chẳng biết làm gì và bắt đầu từ đâu..:-<…

 

What should I do ????

   

Và bây giờ…

Sẽ cố gắng lần nữa không đầu hàng trước số phận..:)

Cuộc sống là 1 con đường dài mà ai cũng phải bước…và…trên con đường dài đó sẽ có nhiều chông gai, thữ thách, cám dỗ ….mà chúng ta phải trải qua!

Bây giờ mình đã hiểu đôi khi phải biết nhìn xuống ! Nhìn những số phận, những mảnh đời thật sự kém may mắn…!

Cuộc sống này rất ngắn ngủi….Đêm nay,mình có thể đang ngồi đây viết des,những em bé đang lang thang sợ lạnh và tìm chỗ ngủ, những bạn trẻ đang tuyệt vọng và chán đời vì 1 lí do nào đó..nhưng…ngày mai, có thể chúng ta sẽ chết….bao nhiêu dự định, ước mơ sẽ không còn …… vì vậy hãy sống = tất cả, mỗi ngày sống là 1 điều quý báu mặc dù ngày đó thì rất tệ ! …..

Hãy cứ nghĩ…tất cả sẽ qua thôi …hãy kết thúc những ngày tệ đó = 1 giấc ngủ say và sớm!

Hãy cứ cười dù bạn gặp khó khăn…có lẽ lúc đó nụ cười đó là nụ cười giã tạo và trống rỗng….nhưng nó có thể làm đầu bạn cảm thấy sản khoái…và bạn sẽ nhìn mọi việc bằng con mắt khác….khi ấy nụ cười của bạn sẽ khác….

Hãy làm thật nhiều điều ý nghĩa trong cuộc sống hằng ngày của bạn…!

Hãy cứ cho đi và đừng mong nhận lại …

Hãy sống thật ý nghĩa khi bạn đang có thể sống………

Dù biết sẽ rất khó!

======================

 

Mình cần sắp xếp lại mọi việc hằng ngày….

Học hành dạo này thật sa sút !

Tập tành thì chẳng đâu ra đâu!

Mình đang mất phong độ trầm trọng………………:|

 

Bắt đầu lại thôi….

Lo học không chơi bời nữa!

Sẽ sửa dần cái tính làm biếng và nắng mưa của mình

Còn 2 tuần rưỡi nữa sẽ thi cuối HKI

Cố gắng để làm nên kì tích

Sẽ đỗi hết ! Từ bên ngoài lẫn bên trong!

Muốn và sẽ cắt tóc ngắn vào cuối tuần này!^^

Chăm chỉ ! Chăm chỉ ! Con heo chăm chỉ !

Um simples momento,um lugar qualquer,em tudo existe uma certa emoção.

 

A single moment, somewhere in everything there is a certain emotion.

If you had asked me whether I thought Bogart would ever be happy just rolling around on his back in the grass I would have said no. Silly me, underestimating my dear Bogart. He's proving to be more amazing than I ever knew. Yep, a truly phenomenal dog.

It's often about the simple things, isn't it? Painting and photography are first about seeing, they say. Writing is about observing. Technique is secondary. Sometimes the simple is the most difficult.
