Gratefulness
It is not joy that makes us grateful; It is gratitude that makes us joyful.
Brother David Steindl- Rast
I think my soul had chosen this rollercoaster life. That this life is a kind of school for the soul to evolve. And I think if I keep my ego small, (how difficult for me) my soul can express itself better.
This little phrase “Welcome to your new home.”Just an hour ago I watched the you tube channel of “Plant Abundance”. A beautiful person with love for nature explained a plant technique from the native Americans. He used a can of sardines for this. What inspired me was: (when he put the plant in very good soil): he said to the plant “welcome to your new home”. That’s how it should be, I thought. What great respect for Mother Nature he showed me. From now on I will welcome every ne...

When I was a child, I cried a lot. I felt very often sorry for myself. My father explained to me how harmful self-pity is. Slowly he helped me to change my attitude. For me this was a very important lesson and has helped me in painful situations.
I find that a difficult question. I cannot judge myself properly. But despite my sadness and grief about my late husband and that I miss him very much every day, I also feel really grateful and can be very happy for many blessings given to me. I must have grown spiritually. I think…….?
From God, the beautiful life I had with my dear husband Karel. It was all about love. From W.A. Mozart the requiem Lacrimosa.
I was not a good student at school, so I was very insecure about my future. With our school class we went to the cinema at the end of the year, to the movie “The sound of Music”. I had never seen such a beautiful movie. The moment Maria (Julie Andrews) sang I have confidence, I was warmed from the inside out. She took away my fear of the future. She had also so much energy and I even thought here silly clothes were beautiful. I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in ...

She had also so much energy and I even thought here silly clothes were beautiful. I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again Besides which you see I have confidence in me. Strength doesn’t lie in numbers Strength doesn’t lie in wealth Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers When you wake up – Wake Up!
Now years later, I accompany singers on the piano, play in nursing homes, accompany choirs. And I always love it when they want to sing the songs from “The Sound of Music. Still my favorite.

In fact, I already did. I cut my own hair (oops😨) and I sent a picture to a friend. She has her smile today🤣.

And… I am a member of this gratefulness family. 💐
It is 9.30 hrs in the morning, and I have a whole day ahead. Maybe this is going to be an exiting day. I also hope that I can be the anonymous stranger for someone. For all of you, have a lovely day 🌹.
I had no real connection with this person, except that we were in the same train compartment. I thought he was a scary man. When I got of the train he ran after me. It was very frightening. Then he stood in front of me with my coat in his hand. I had left my coat in the train. I felt so ashamed. Then this kind man saw his train leaving the platform, he missed his train. He was not angry. he gave me a kind and sweet smile. This was a very special connection with an other person, a stranger. I ...

He was not angry. he gave me a kind and sweet smile. This was a very special connection with an other person, a stranger. I was 15 years old when this happended and it impressed me a lot and certainly affected me and inspired me.
Surprised about: That after becoming a widow, I was not angry, though it was the worst that happended to me. I felt enormous gratitude (thats how I came here) for the wonderfull time Karel and I had together. And I am surprised that I have resilience and that I can accept this given life as it comes. Thank God and Karel who moved to my heart. (English is not my language, I am not sure if the word resilience is correct:))
