Jealous
We often use that word
It's loaded with negative energy
Envious
Just the same lousy word
I think we often use them without even thinking of what they mean
They are just words to describe a state of mind, then and there
You think
I don't
If you tend to use these kind of words a lot, I really think you should sit down and think
Being happy with what we have is important for us
If we are not happy, well
then we should do something about it
Not always easy
No of course not, when should all things be easy. We need to struggle a bit sometimes, to appreciate what we have, what vi get and what to have.
If you think Mondays are awful, well then you perhaps should get a new job or get another education.
Change course in life
I did
You can
If you don't like the people you are hanging out with
Well what to do
Ha
I did
You can
Get your surroundings right
How do you really want your life to be
Do you want to live where you are living
You can start by dreaming
Dreams may come true
But you need to take some action too
It's your life, do the math
Even tho we live in a fabulous country, where the scenery is awesome, and we are a peaceful bunch of people, there are a history to be told - or not to be told, secrets to be held or not to be held, in all houses.
The exterior may be gorgeous, the interior may be lousy.
It's the same all over the world, that will never change.
But you can change, you can stop things you don't want to happen.
You do have a choice.
Friday Yeayh, I think I'm getting high on Friday Mood today, lol.
So this is my village in Norway, yes. I love my country, sigh.
For some this is a nightmare and for some it's exotic.
Life is kind of black and white.
We often want what others have and don't see the beauty just in front of us.
We want warm weather when it's cold outside.
We want a house instead of an appartment.
We think others partners are much more cute and kind, then the one we have.
We want so many things.
Do we feel more happy if we get what we want?
Probably not, because there is so much more we want.
Why this craving? Why aren't we happy with what we have.
The answers are within, do you dare check it out?
Well I guess I'm over the top cheerful all the time😂
This feeling is so nice😍
When you have sorted out many of the things you have to deal with and then let it all sink in.
You need to do that, you know - let it all sink in, evaluate and rethink.
The proud feeling, you have actually done something good for yourself.
You'll feel much more secure in the meeting with others.
It's easier to deal with "mean" people, because you understand that they hurt others, because they are hurt themselves.
Stop blaming yourself, let others blame you - they are good at that.
And know that their shit is their shit.
You have it all in your spine. 🙏
Find your light within - it's your soul reaching out for a date with you!
Mmmmmm, sounds like the best date ever 😍
I am a bit high on myself today, I think I have to go for a 5 hours hike to chill down, lol. 3 hours would definitely not be enough 😂😂😂
It's nice tho, to be greeted in the morning - well at least it's morning for some of us on Flickr.
You others pls continue with your day and bring my greeting into your day too.
It's a cheerful greeting, this image.
And isn't that a change that I found light, lol.
Here is the entrance, filled with loads of exotic snow towards the light.
Light and love is always there, even in the darkest moments.
It can be shown in different ways
Like in images
Like in a greeting from someone
Like in a little word
Like in a little gesture
Like in something you hear or read
Like when you share that you are feeling down
You will see that all the good vibes people are sending you actually work
People care
You just must say something about it, utter the words
And yes they move on
So will you do
Just take your time
I love you
Let us not forget that Valentine's Day are for us all.
Some one might feel quite lonely with all the focus on love.
Is this always a focus towards someone else?
Not every one feels they have someone so dear.
Please know that love surrounds us all, you have it within, the love for yourself, the love for a pet, the love for cherishing the moment.
And this day is for breathe in all the good energy that everybody with good intentions actually give to the world, just by the thought of Love.
A bearhug from me
There are angels everywhere
In my EvaVision World too
Of course
They can materialize themselves as animals or human beings
They help us in all the ways possible
I know that for a fact
They don't do our laundry or take our choices
They can't deal with life for us
But they are there always
Around you
Looking after you
Whisper in your ears
Whispering, You are safe, You are not alone, Go ahead and do your stuff
Isn't that a comfort
You are actually never alone
Even tho you need to live your life alone
Even tho you need to do all your experiences in life
Even tho you need to get the knowledge of life and its choices
Even tho you need to feel the vast amount of feelings we have in our life
Even tho you feel totally alone
Even tho you feel there is no love for you on earth
Even tho you feel you aren't supposed to be here
Remember
Always
You are loved
By the Universe
By the angels that surrounds us
They do disguise themselves, and they are there
Always
Sometimes you might be so lucky to see that they show themselves
I was
I am sharing this with you
Because sharing is always caring
Remember
You are loved
A lighthouse is a guidance for real, like in a building
For some reason lighthouses have always fascinated me
A guidance in your life is your intuition
As hard as it can be
As easy as it can be
It's always there
Whispering
We tend to listen more to our ego tho
Our ego always have the arguments, the solutions
Why to do things
How to do things
Definitely how and why not to do things
It's often the easy way-solutions or the more fun stuff to do
Your ego keeps on building up arguments why it's smart to follow the egos way
Be aware when you repeatedly think the same arguments over and over again
It's your ego talking, it never whispers
It's cool to know tho, now you can choose to listen if you want, either it's the ego or the intuition
I love knowing
Knowledge rules
I just have to add this little music for you, I love Pink Floyd, it totally rules :D
I haven't heard this one before.
Talking to a loved one today, while this one was playing in the background, totally made this music a lovely piece of art the rest of my day.
As we got closer to the end of our trail in the forest we saw this intense light, it was like in a fairy tale.
Does the Prince come on a white horse today?
If not, is there a wish? What can I wish for?
Hmmm, my life is exactly where it should be.
For me the Light showed itself like the future Aiko saw in his crystal ball, its all gonna be OK, eventually.
The Light is always there, might be in the distance from time to time, but have faith, it's always there🙏.
✨❤✨
We all have some Mount Eversts in our life
I have mine
I conquered one of them yesterday
And look how small it became
Cool huh
When you address your problems
They get your attention
If you think, write or speak the words that comes with the problems
It will be lightened up with the attention you are giving it
If you get feelings rising up
Embrace them
Deal with them
They are yours to be dealt with
Together with the attention and light the problem reveals itself
And you get to see the pattern, you get the understanding, the knowledge
Now you can deal with it, put it in its right place, maybe back to other people or straight into the trash
Your Mount Everst can be diminished and even vanish
Geez I love this life
Woohooo - it's Thursday - have a great one you guys

Btw ref the music: Anısına means "in memory" in Turkish
Dreary weather
Some would say
It's rainy, extremely windy, foggy
Real west coast weather
I just love it
When I need to think, I walk
Alone
This is the perfect weather
Nobody wants to go out
Except me
It's pouring
I'm getting wet everywhere
Thinking, rethinking, dwelling
Are there solutions
Why do I act like this
Aha, there is a pattern
I don't want patterns in my life
Patterns means you are stuck.
Stuck in patterns beyond, they don't belong here anymore
I certainly don't want that
How can I solve this in the best way
And my thinking will give me what I can present as a proposition for a solution
I find life so interesting
It's like a dance
Of more than you participating
We need a partner in the dance
Then we can dance together, discuss, find solutions
And it all will work out
As long as both are willingly to talk
Thank you for the dreary weather
it helped me this time too
The Last Day
Time for afterthought
Time for new thoughts
Time for new ways of doing things
Time for thriving
2018 was a turbulent year, more or less everything that could happen, happened
Fast, really fast
A thorough cleansing and redecoration both in my mind and in my house were needed
I had to evaluate my life
Decisions were made
I was obviously in a hurry
How could I know
I just felt that it couldn't wait, I had postponed enough, wet fuse for years, hoping life could be filled with love
Finally realizing that I would become sick if I didn't do what I deep down knew I should do
I had to go back being in charge of my life
How tough isn't that
And then everything settled
It was a bit of a crash landing
But a landing is a landing
My house has become our house
True joy has again filled the house
Laughter
Playfulness
Adventures
Childish happiness
Dreams are coming through
Unconditional love
Love I didn't know existed has appeared into my life
Literally on my doorstep
All is happening because I believed I did the right thing
It has been proven over and over again
I'm on my path
And with the most fantastic companion I could ever dream of
I do indeed welcome 2019
Being in the flow
Taking one step at a time
Learning to be patient
Knowing that things need time to be finished
Making a new life together
Creating history
Being in charge
Doing what's best for me is best for everybody
I'm so happy I am at this stage of my life
I will breathe it all in
I will try not to be so Fast n Furious, but darn that is difficult 😅
Make hopes
See them in your head being fulfilled
Love and respect yourself
And take charge
Your life is too valuable to mess around with
I guess that is what I've learned this year 🙏
I'm wishing you all the best for the New Year and thank you for all the support you have given me this year 💖
Leaving us a waterdrop
To taste
Is it a taste of life, you say
Or
Is he pointing at the drop
Grab it
And it will be yours forever
It could be the Big Question
And perhaps you must find the time to explore and figure it all out
Am I tasting life
Am I doing the most of it
Are there things that I need to change in this life
Probably
At some level
Scary stuff
Isn't it
Or
It could be just as simple as,
Spring
🌱 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
It's a joy to sit here
Having your camera ready in your lap, but resting
Lovely breeze
or Strong winds
Sunny day
or Foggy day
It's immensely nice whichever weather there is
We need to rest our minds
Letting siilence in
Just listening to
Nothing
Then you will be aware of the silence
It has sounds too you know
You may hear yourself breathe
The grass moving in the wind
The waves' splish splash
The wind's sounds through the grass or when hitting the rocks
The birds eagerness, searching for food
People jogging past you, breathing heavily
You can actually hear yourself thinking
How cool isn't that
Solving the worlds mystery, your worlds mystery
It's times like this that are precious
At least for me
It's room beside me, plenty of chairs here
I'd love you to sit here too
Silence together in oneness is the most awesome happening I know of
Binding us together without talking
That sure is something
I'm so happy I have that in my life
So take your seat the next time you're passing a suitable spot to sit
Enjoy
Feel comfortable
Let it all sink in and take your time
I bet you will feel refreshed
I guess my answer would be that he had to do some effort himself to find the chosen one.
But it really can't be easy to find the chosen one or a close friend, when everybody is sitting at home in their own rooms, chatting and gossip in the virtual reality like facebook, skype and all the other meeting places.
I wonder when we all will see the whole picture and stop this development and figure out that we get all stressed out if we need to be online all the time.
Stress is definitely not good for you, your adrenaline is pumping and the result is that your body gets health issues. A side effect is of course that you ruin your energetic body too. Being able to feel the energy flow through my body when I have a deep conversation with my close friends is a fabulous feeling. I didn't feel that before, I had to stress down a lot.
Poor kids growing up ♥ I guess they have to deal with our mess...
For hidden love
The taste of the fruits
Were they forbidden
Only the ones that tasted the fruits know
Would they be tasted again
You could wonder
Wonder
Till the day you die
At least you got to taste them
You can rest in that too
... is where my heart is, they say
Geez, I have many homes, lol
Exploring the universe with open, but not naive eyes
Certainly give me many places to leave my hearts
Yes, in plural
Giving everyone a chance to prove themselves
You may even get a second chance
I'm a forgiving kind of person
You may even get my heart
I need my dwelling tho, upon what you were doing or saying that hurt me.
I see you
I see who you really are
The wounded one
The scars you have that you don't want to deal with
It's the easiest way you know, to hurt someone else when you actually can't deal with yourself
Hurting others in words or in action is definitely an imbalance within you.
You can blame your parents, you can blame your boss, your friends.
Blame blame blame on the world.
Doesn't work that way you know
You have a choice to get out of the mud, only you can deal with it, and you definitely must be willing to use your time.
Questioning yourself and answering yourself.
How to find an imbalance can be difficult at first, when you are starting the job that needs to be done.
In my opinion it's often when you find excuses for your actions, your fear, your hurting words, your anger
It hurts like hell sometimes to do this kind of mental job
But then, alas - the glory that waits for you when you have figured it out, sigh
Pain from your body will disappear, your mind will be like newborn and you can see the world with new eyes.
You must choose how to live this life
Isn't that cool
You can actually choose
Life is too precious to walk in mud, we should walk in light, towards light
My belief again, nobody needs to agree
I agree
And that's the important thing for me
Am I lucky
Meeting one of my four kids
A bearhug is waiting
We love a long bearhug
Standing in Oslo for a long time
Just enjoying the bearhug
When we finally "wake up" people are looking at us, smiling
How cool isnt that
I meet one child at the time
I have done this for many years
Only one at the time
The love
The bonding
The chat
It's such a precious time
When you hit the basement with a bang, then you wake up
Then you realize what on earth you were doing
It can take some time dwelling of course, before you understand it
Your Ego has said to you, it's ok.
Go ahead. It's ok, do it, do it, it's good for you, you deserve this -
over and over again
Our Ego does that
Sure is a tricky one
But deep down, you know
There are some tiny thoughts that tries to come up to the surface, but we suppress them with our Ego's repetitions
These tiny thoughts belong to your intuition
Being in the basement is a nice place to be, I love being there. It's here I seek the truth, it's here I see it all, how it is connected
Yes it can hurt, tremendously
But you will always come up from the basement, on your way being recovered. There will still be ups and downs, but now you know
You know who you should trust
Not your Ego
But, your intuition 🙏
Them tiny thoughts that easily drown, because you always have a choice
Intuition does keep a low profile
Hope your week will be as good as mine, take care out there and listen to your intuition you too, it's good for you 💓
Love you guys
💓💕💓💕💓
I think that word is loaded.
Loaded with it all.
Your imagination can take you everywhere.
Dreaming.
Positive dreams, but also loaded with our baggage, so it might even be a negative dream, a night mare.
No wonder that roses always hits your heart in some way 🙏
Lifting up his shoulders, his head is straight up, he knows the two on the flank will cover his back, he is safe, his eyes looking deeply towards the crowd.
Reaching out for their souls.
Words must be spoken with heart if they shall understand.
They will attack him because they know deep down that he is right.
They attack because they are wounded and does not know how to heal themselves.
But when they understand the dynamics of attacking, they will see that they can choose to heal themselves.
There is always a choice.
The seed can now slowly grow.
I think that if I can be pliable in the meaning of being flexible I can evolve by being humble to what IS.
What IS actually going on, right now.
Suck it in, take a deep breath and dive into it.
It can be scary, yes.
If you always will respond to things happening around you by being angry or stubborn and putting all your spikes out, like a scared hedgehog, and think that I am always right, then you will miss essential things about the growth your soul wants.
Next time you respond to things by being angry or scared, take a step back and ask yourself "Am I afraid for something? What is actually going on here."
No judging, just find out where it comes from and the incidents will appear in your mind, slowly.
It is the best gift you can give to yourself, when your mind gives light to what actually is the issue, it all will relieve itself and you are growing within.
It's actually very cool.
It's called meta perspective, it's the coolest tool ever, and it is free (that was the economist speaking).
Eva, the plant whisperer ( the roots survived😂)
Words can hurt for eternity and make you feel really down.
But
Words can definitely be one of the nicest things too.
How a word of wisdom from someone can be a seed to growth.
How you can feel a bond to someone you've never actually met or seen, but only chatted with.
I think I'll never stop to wonder.
I'm so certain that every bit of humor and love helps us all to be a better person♥
Energy flows through our universe in lots of ways, so thank you for giving a piece of yourself 🙏
Not all of us has so many to be together with
Some are happy with that
Some are unhappy with that
Some of us wants out of a relationship
Some of us wants to have a relaitonship
Easter can be hard
Families are gathering together
Some families are having fun together
Some famility members wants the everyday life to start pretty quick
Because familiy can be best in frames on the wall
Some are alone
And don't want to be alone
Some are alone
And are happy to be alone
Wow
Life can be harsh
We all have our lives to live
We have these darn choices to make
What is actually best for me, is the main question
You may hurt many on your way, because they don't want the change
But you know
When you have feelings that overwhelm you in a negative way, well then you need to deal with it
When you have solved this imbalance, your life will get better
Never doubt that
That is the law of the universe
Balance
💕💕💕
Love you, lots and lots
Yep, you 😍
HSoS to you all ❤❤❤
The way ahead, following your intuition.
The tricky part is that intuition can be confused with your own Ego.
Your Ego overrules your intuition and says to you, in your thoughts, that you must do the fun stuff you want to do. The "fun" stuff can be bullying others, eat too much, not study when you know you have to, crossing all kind of lines etc.
You'll find all kinds of excuses to do what you want to do, but there might be a lower voice which says Stop, and that is your intuition.
Try to find it, start listening to it. It has many interesting ideas and I for one think our lives can walk on quite different paths than we had imagined if we bring forward our intuition.
If you want something changed in you, like the view you have upon yourself or getting a higher self esteem, losing weight etc, you should start talking to your unconscious mind.
How to do that is pretty simple and awkward or strange, at the same time.
You shall repeat small nice sentences many times a day, talk to yourself repeatedly by using positive words. Your unconscious mind will surrender and start think so too, if you only repeat the positive loaded words.
Why not try it.
We all know how good we are to look in the mirror and say Sh.. how awful I look today. Turn your attitude and say Wow I look fabulous today.
It sure has a nice ring to it, hasn't it, and it works too.
Gee, it became a long blah blah this time♥
MacroMondays theme for this Monday is Imperfection
My head is almost spinning with the words I have inside, this is a word I just adore, I love Imperfection with all my heart.
Because isn't that what we are, what we feel, who we are and who we have become.
Imperfect means to me that I have lived my life, and still am living my life with all my strange doings, flaws and imbalances.
We always feel we aren't good enough.
"Be a good girl now" - just these words can damage a life.
We don't want to be a good girl/boy. We want to be us, with all our stuff, being loved for the one we are, the one we are supposed to be, supposed to become.
Taste the word Imperfect - wow it's a profound word, it's loaded with feelings.
And I have the perfect soundtrack to Imperfection, because it's so perfect, listen if you want:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Ht6WIhhmU
But of course it's not words you MM-guys want.
This image of imperfection is taken outside in the dark evening searching for a snowcrystal with a torch.
After all I have bought myself a 105mm :D
I had to look closer on my scarf, it was covered with tiny, tiny snowflakes and I thought that perhaps I could catch one of them. They were so tiny that i barely could see the cystal star.
So this is it, and as you see my tiny snowcrystal has hair around it, so it makes it just so imperfect, that it is perfect.
Just like us, we are the same too - we are all imperfect, and therefore why aren't we then all perfect.
Sounds good to me.
So good morning you Perfect people, it's Monday morning here and a new week is approaching.
Wow, what a boost :D
HMM 💖💖💖
Will I find luck 🍀
Among the clovers
Will I find proof that luck will come into my life?
Helloooooo
Take a look around
Stop a bit
Isn't there already lots of luck in your life
Lots of nice things that happen
Lots of small joys
Lots of kind people around you
Why not suck it all in
Be aware of what you have already
Instead of wishing for other things
And if it's so that you aren't happy
Why not try to turn your way on the path of life
Into what makes you happy
Towards your goals
Not others goals for you
Instead of searching for luck 🍀
Be proactive
Take control
Find your balance
Your intuition is there, whispering in your ear
Like a lover whispers
Quietly
Caring
Loving
The breath is caressing your ear as it's whispering
Breathe and close your eyes
How strange as is sounds
Awareness is the answer
And by closing your eyes you will more easily see
It's there for us to take it all in
It's a joy for our eyes
It's a joy for our souls
That is was sensuality does, it brings joy
It's not to be messed with
Not to bring other thoughts in to
Just the visual joy
If a woman is sensual
You should enjoy the sight
Like art
Not bring other thoughts to it
If I like to dress up, or want to feel sensual
I do it for me
Not for you
So, enjoy us like art
Because that's what we are
Mother Nature's Art
Have a nice enjoyable Friday ❤
Sometimes my crystals are like small sharp nails
Sometimes they are round
Sometimes they are sparkling just a bit
Sometimes they act like small suns, beaming
They give me the awe feeling everytime
The sun doesn't need to be there
They sparkle by their own
Wether it's daylight or night
This is the way how I want to live my life too
We can't depend upon others
We need to stand up for ourselves
Stand upright wether it's a mild wind or a stormy day
Knowing that you can deal with your life
And letting others deal with their life
It's easy to intervene
Giving a helping hand
The question is who are you helping
Are you helping your own good conscience, is it out of fears you have or just out of the good of yourself
You may do others a disservice if you aren't aware of your own actions
You will grow yourself if you find out why you are "helping" out
There must be a balance in helping too
You can't live their lives
It's definitely enough with the one you are yourself living
Small steps for mankind
Huge steps for me
Resting upon my hair
My chest
Ain't I the lucky one
I have so many precious among me
So many
So few
In numbers they aren't many, but they are really many all though
I'm lucky to have few that are so many
You need to get through to them all
Because they are all so precious
Conscience is always lurking around
You aren't good enough
Not attentive enough
They miss you
You get it
Because they are saying it out loud
Not being shy about their needs
Well
So it might be
But I have a life too
I'm a parent
And a grandparent
And not to mention I'm in love
So, I need to live my life too
without having a bad conscience
So important to get a grip of your own life
I don't want my bad conscience to rule my life
It would be devastating
My mind is where I am
What I need
Knowing that I have given my children their time
Now it's my time
I'm the boss here
And I still love them all
They still love me
How cool isn't that
Down a lone road I went, down to the end of it, I road and road until there was no more, and when I find, I'll search no more, down this long road.
Do you know that your thoughts can influence not only other people and yourself, but food too.
If I want to give myself a treat I always have good thoughts towards myself, my body and mind and very importantly; the treat I am going to enjoy.
If you think thoughts like "I shouldn't eat this, its not healthy, I'm going to regret it afterwards", all your energy falls negatively and influence everything, even your food.
Being aware when you eat, not putting your head in your phone, newspaper, book, computer, but actually being there in every bite, does that you taste the flavors in a different way.
And it even is healthy in another way because you become aware of when you are full. And then you ought to stop.
And you will feel content.
Because you listened to yourself, your intuition.
That is why we have one, we should listen to it more.
I think that is the way to go.
Love you all♥, including myself 😁
Your truly, always, FlickrGrandma x
How to "stop time"??
If you do something else than the ordinary it actually feels like the days don't swoooosch off, cause that's what we all complain about, isn't it.
Being Monday and all, you have a whole week to spend.
And it doesn't need to be something special, it doesn't need to be expensive.
Just go ahead and do something else than you normally do.
Happy MacroMonday y'all ♥
It's so nice to have dreams
Dreams about a full life
Being one
In all twosomeness
Dreams can come true
And they will come true
As they will come through too
Eventually
Patients, says my man
Patience, says Julie
Lol
Things are happening
Good things
Never lose faith
Never lose hope
Never lose dreams
Never stop thinking love won't come your way
This is the way we evolve
We move on because of all our dreams
We develop with love as a foundation in our life
If you are having love as a basis you can conquer everything in life
Quit dreams and we will perish
I will never quit my dreams
Not now
Not when I've finally tasted what it is like to have love in my life
My dreams will live forever because of this
Can you imagine being so in love
I never ever thought I should be blessed with this
I'm so thankful
I'm breathing it all in
Amen
Life moves about us, but we must stay and live among the living, for in time we will begin to understand and learn from those who came before us and as we progress in life, let us never loose hope, for God has a purpose for us.
Have you ever felt that you were a disappointment in others eyes, and that this influenced your self esteem and how you looked upon yourself?
For years...
Take yourself back again.
Try to find your true self again.
Give yourself The Gift.
When someone tells you that you are being a disappointment, it's probably their own self they are disappointed in.
Am I a train whisperer or not?
Did I feel disappointed when my train didn't go yesterday? Nope.
I just had to find another way to get back home.
Geez, I love life ♥
Getting a smile from someone warms our hearts
It brightens our day
Both in giving and receiving a smile
Either it's from a stranger that bumps into you and smile as an excuse
Or a smile from someone that greets you when you see them
We are showing who we are when we are giving smiles
Let the smiles come from no where
Let there be no reason to smile to someone
Know that you may pass on your good vibes when you are smiling
It is contagious you know
Getting a smile from this man warms the entire of me
Have a lovely Saturday
HSoS to you all
Have you taken into consideration
That every time
Like, every time
You write a heart ❤ / <3
To your loved ones
Or a smile 😊 / :)
To your dear ones
To your friends
You raise their energy
You raise your own energy
A heart ❤ or another sweet tiny message/ text / note or action.
It doesn't need to be bought to be appreciated.
Wash my BMW and I would nearly die, thank you.
Why do I frequently use small signs, like emojis 😁😍 or :D <3 to you, when I thank you for stopping by and commenting on my photos?
Why do I use it on your photos when I stop by and comment?
Yes I can go a bit bananas some times....
And, yes I always check if you wrote something more than Thx 😇
I do it consciously, you know
I'm not a naive chick
Because, if you return to see my thx-message, you too will see that I thought of you from my heart.
I say "If" because I know many don't go back to check whether; "Did she say more then Thanks?".
Because I want you to feel good, I want to give you a little boost, maybe a little thrill, maybe a smile, maybe brighten your day for some tiny seconds.
It's a choice I take, because by sending you guys good vibes it does have a domino effect on you and further on the ones you meet on the same day.
We will be like a tsunami of good vibes if we did this consciously.
It has effect, both on you and the ones who receives and not to mention Earth it self.
That is pretty grand, isn't it 😊
I do upload a bit too many photos, so I know that on some of my photos you didn't get a hint that I read your message to me.
There isn't enough time.
Lol, even for me.
It hurts my inside every time.
I think I owe it to you to know that.
Happy International Women's Day
😘
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 18th of June is “infinity symbol”. As administrator of the group, Maria, said, such a symbol is not so easy to find, yet is easy to create. They do say “that if you don’t use it, you lose it”, and it has been a little while since I picked up my pencil and pens and did some drawing, so I decided to apply my artistic skills and draw the infinity symbol. I decided to be a little bit different and add to it the words live and love to it, which I have woven into the symbol, as I think it is important to live and to love to infinity. I’m sure you agree. I’ve surrounded my drawing with the tools I used to create it and my left hand, as my right hand was busy depressing the shutter for this shot. I hope you like my creation for this week’s theme, and that it brings a smile to your face.
Marks comment when he saw these artificial made hills was "Do they not think there is enough uphills in Norway".
I really found this remark so funny.
And then I started to think about the perspective we all have upon things.
Uphills can be tough and yes we have lots of them in Norway.
You don't need to seek them, but I do.
And now Mark does too 😊
May be not quite volunteering 😂
As in life too.
Uphills can be a struggle, huge mountains of matter to deal with.
Uphills can be the real downer in your life, they can be devastating.
All the challenges we have in front of us, all the decisions we must make, all the tears that have been and will be flooding, all the pain to endure, all the experiences we gain.
You really feel alive when you are having your struggling uphills.
Why is that?
It may sound a bit rough, but this is only my thoughts;
You will be in touch with your emotions and feelings, find out who you really are.
You get to know what really matters in your life, and not to mention who that matters in your life.
You get to enjoy life in quite another way because you'll become aware of the small joys you always have had in your life, but never seen.
It's not easy to see that everlasting uphills can be a blessing.
You often must have endured them, chewed them and processed them quite a lot before you can see that your life has changed to something better.
So when you think life is smooth, living the downhill-life, and you are trotting along with no effort, I hope you too are aware of all the good things in your life.
There's always something to appreciate.
I guess that is what I like about the sea
It reminds me of feelings
Roaring like this
The noise can be incredible
Crashing waves
This time there was no wind
Just the underlying rest of the storm
Still in the sea
That is us, isn't it
We keep stuff inside
Stuff that needed to be said out loud
Injustice
Being treated with no respect
Mean words from others
Even mean actions from others
All the scars we get
Maybe we act mean towards others because we don't deal with the people that actually was mean to us in the first place
All what we endure
And we just keep them inside us
Doesn't do us any good at all
So important to react
Out of respect for yourself
You grow you know, when you are standing up for yourself
Because that is your job
Luckily there is calm sea too
We all love the reflections and serenity that goes with the calmness
I guess that is what most of us want for ourselves too
Maybe that's why we love water
Water feeds us, nourish us
We can see all sides of our personality in the water and we respect that
We actually love it
Just as we should love ourselves
Just as we should do the honor of respecting ourselves
That's my recipe for nourishing myself
Maybe it will be the recipe for others too
When we do love and respect ourselves, then others will too
It all comes from you
There is always questions to be asked.
Not always answers to be given.
Going on a travel
Might be by ship
Might be by train
Might definitely be on a long hike
Might be an inner travel
I have traveled far and wide earlier
Did it give me my peace
No
It gave me lots of good memories tho
And that is nice
Nice is good
Inner travel might not be so nice
Its really troublesome
At least while you are still working something out
But I am never giving up
In that case I give up myself
How could I
This photo is from Oslo, Norway 💙
Fruits of a lifetime
Gathered together
All experiences I have made
All the knowledge I have gained
All the goals I have accomplished
All the people I have met
All the words that have made an impact
For better and for worse
I'm feeling gratitude towards it all
If it hadn't been
I wouldn't be
Nothing couldn't have been undone
Even the worse parts
It all made me to the one I am today
To where I am today
It's amazing how it all unfolds
When you have done lots of inner work
My #blahblahscape is full of my inner feelings and thoughts
And, yes - I have shared with you
Many of these thoughts comes from observing others around me and from my own mess
I know I am not alone on this journey
Some of you are there too
And maybe, just maybe it can help one of you to read my journey
We need to tidy up our lives
When you are having bad feelings like jealousy, envy, guilt, hate and all what arouses imbalance within you - you must know that there is something you must deal with
It will then eventually go away, diminish, being lightened up, being put back to the place or person where it originally belonged
Because it is probably not yours to keep
Isn't that quite a thought
It is not yours to keep
We use time, We misuse time, We delay, We postpone, We are human beings
As easy as that
And as difficult as that
I love lighthouses
They are there for guidance and help on your way
I have my own lighthouse, it's there for support and love
It contains love from special loved ones, but the most important is the love I have for myself
Giving me a safe shelter when I have needed it
Comfort and rest
You can have it all
"Just" need to open up for it
It all comes down to being able to love yourself
Feeling worthy of love
Your own love to yourself
Respecting yourself
We all are from Love, of course we all are worthy love, breathe that in so you can rest in that, you too
Love is the greatest there is, without it we will perish
My lighthouse now even contains an actual house, therefore this image of this lighthouse in Oslofjorden
Being on my own under my own roof will be amazing, now I know this will happen
Geez I love my roller coaster life!!
Long good byes to what has been
All together
Same direction
The whole family
It's like Earth will become
In the future
Just have to be patient
I will never give up that idea
That Love will win
Conquer our hearts
Soften them
Let us be pure love in the flesh
Earth will be a marvelous place for us all
All we need is to begin with ourselves and the ones we have around us
Mmmmmmmmm I love being in love
When you see this photo, what are you thinking?
Abuse, bad owner, drowning dog?
It looks pretty awful doesn't it
It looks like he is looking at the drowning dog, doing nothing
What actually happened was that this joyful dog had his ball in his mouth
Giving the ball to his owner
The owner, his dad, threw it far away
And the dog swoooooooosched off
Over the little river and onto the beach further away
Coming back to his owner, walking through the little river, with the ball in his mouth, letting it go by his dad's feet and then sitting next to him to see him throw the ball
Over and over again
This last time the little dog was pretty exhausted by the running, so he actually laid down to cool his belly, and the little ball he had in his mouth is laying next to him in the shallow water
He laid like this for a time, really cooling off, enjoying himself
And his owner stood by his side, patiently waiting
Then they went off again, when the dog was all chilled down
It's easy isn't it, to be quick in kind of "understanding" what is going on
But as long as you don't have the whole picture you really shouldn't be so quick
There is always another side
The side that isn't that "cool" to talk about
We love the stories, don't we, so we have something to talk about
But it really is so wrong
We can ruin people by doing this
The whole picture, how important isn't that
Wow
Always have that in your mind
This little story might give you that perspective, keep it in your heart, then you will remember it
The little dog
Always remember the little dog
It is of course attached to my flower
I didn't have the heart to take it off
For me this petal is being a symbol of being alone in a togetherness
I guess there are many that can feel alone and lonely
Even though we are incredible busy and have lots to do
Even though we might have family around us
And we might even have friends we can have around us
We are being so busy that we sometimes lose ourselves
We lose our time
The time we should use on having a good time
If you lose yourself
Others won't get you either
What a loss
I'm trying to teach my children that life is now, it is going on now, as we speak
So we shouldn't waste it
Grasp life
It is yours
Take charge
Be your own boss
It is so worth it
OK, so the trees downhill have actually a "reason" if they are feeling jealousy.
This white tree had the best view of them all..
The other trees can't move their roots and find another spot.
They are actually stuck.
When someone says they are jealous because of something I have achieved or how I live my life, then I wonder.
Jealousy is a powerful word. It's indeed loaded with negative stuff and I bet we use it in a casual way without thinking what it really means.
We all have choices, whether you like it or not.
Sometimes we don't feel that we have choices, but I think we do.
I think that we don't want to see that we can choose, because it's convenient.
If you feel in your gut, your intuition, that something should be different in your life, than you should move towards the change. Try to listen what your intuition tells you. It can be difficult because you have an Ego that tries to decide for you...
Ego is definitely something else than intuition.
If you feel deep down that you are moving along the correct path, you should rest in the peace this gives you.
There will always be someone out there that questions your choices, ignore them and give yourself a nice stroke on your cheek if you know that this is correct for you ♥
Been there, done that!
Life can be difficult, but its worth the struggling.
Life becomes more and more satisfying and beautiful.
But you must listen to your intuition - it knows what is best for you.
Can you see its face, still sleeping tho 😂
Huge nose too
Literally when the troll is coming out I think someone is showing themselves who they really are, not who they claim to be.
It can be of great significance and quite devastating at times to see people you respect or fear fall apart right in front of you.
I have experienced this, breathed it in, the last respect I had disappeared when I realized what was unfolding.
And you know when this happens they can say whatever they want, all words loses their power like they have had for years and you can think "Wow, you can't hurt me because I don't respect you anymore"
Communication is so important to get to know people and their deepest thoughts, words must be spoken, then you can sort them out and continue having them around you if you want them to be in your sphere.
Respect for one another is so important, and that comes naturally when you show who you are.
Life is so interesting 😊
My Christmas tree is decorated with silver decorations
Hearts, stars and balls, all in different shapes
This Christmas my house will be filled up with people staying for several nights, tasty dinners and long breakfasts
Aiko will be joyful and happy, seeing his familiy together like this
One will be missing tho
So this heart is for him
I'm in it
As he is in my heart
And I am in his heart
Next year you hopefully will be here to decorate the tree and the house and make a Christmas in a Canadian Norwegian mix
Looking forward to that already
Hope you all are having a nice Advent, or as we say in Norway; Hope you all are having a nice PreChristmasTime
Let us hope for us all to find the joy and letting the stress be lessened
Trying to remember what Christmas really is about
When it comes to presents I have found that for me it's not about buying many and expensive gifts any more
I used to do that, with a weird feeling in my belly, but I went on doing this for years
The carousel went on, as it always had done
This year I have stopped the carousel
It is a time for everything and this year I felt that now I could say Sorry, I'm not willingly doing this anymore
So this year there will be one or two presents per person, bought with joy in my heart
I know I'm lucky having my finances in good shape. Telling everybody Please don't buy me anything because I really don't need anything. I have used 2018 to cleanse my house and I don't need anything new. It really is a relief to say this out loud
Presents have nothing to do about showing that you love other persons. What you do to them in their everyday life is what matters. It may not be spoken of, it may not be noticed in any way, but I know - that is for me the most important
I'm looking forward to a Christmas where laughter will fill my house, being together in harmony is the most wonderful gift I can get
Have you ever dwelled upon what that actually means
Are we only talking about a dogs love
towards us humans
I hope not
I am not
I think unconditional love must go both ways
And of course not only in a dog human relationship.
Human to human relationship as well
When you meet that kind of person with whom you can feel the bond with
The bond you didn't think you would ever feel in this lifetime
What a blessed feeling
You can be the one you truly are
No pretending
With the flaws you have
With the scars from the lived life
Plain and simple
And be loved without questioning
And love back without questioning
We do mess it all up don't we, trying to adapt towards others, please others, instead of being true to ourselves.
We must evolve within, yes of course. We must take difficult choices, and we need to take them to get further in our growth.
To grow is to respect and love yourself.
If you don't respect and love yourself, who would than respect and love you truly and unconditionally
This is of course my belief, my thoughts. You may disagree all you want, I couldn't care.
I stand in my belief, it lays in my spine and for me this is the way.
I'm truly feeling blessed.
This image I'm posting is an image of that belief I have.
It may look like a dream, but dreams can come through, you never know.
Enjoy if you want, I'm happy to share.
Amen
I submit this image to Flickr Friday, "There is no place like home" - Unconditional love is a state of mind and in my eyes this should feel like a natural home, the place we all want to be 🙏
As well as my forest is my second home 💙
