Times of Controversy....

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but 

where he stands at times of 

challenge and controversy.

~ Martin Luther King, Jr. ~

Don't go around...

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

I'm back blogging again...

Hi my friends,

This new year started out not that good for me. My new laptop what I bought 2 months ago went "black"...and, as the French always use to say when they play Roulette at the Casinos: "rien-ne-vas-plus"!.... or with other words: it died! 

And this happened on a Wednesday, of course! It was short before weekend too and the technicians don't work over weekends! The computer guy came on Monday, built in a new motherboard, but still nothing, no movements at all, still a black screen! Later, after almost 2 hrs talking with a software engineer far away in India somewhere, it started finally working again - yeah!! 

And the best of all of this is, that all my photo files could be saved and didn't get lost - because that was my biggest fear and concern! Lucky me...!!! :-)

Now everything is working fine and as you can see:  I'm posting again and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Wishing you with this picture and this quote what I love very much, a very HAPPY SUNDAY!

Angels are often silent....

Angels are often silent, but they are listening to every thought that stirs our soul.

Hi my friends,

if you believe in Angels - or not - now it's the time of Christmas in the air again. I'm sending all my good wishes to all of you out there with this picture of a cute little angel, standing on an empty garden chair, praying for you and me. I hope you'll enjoy also the video, I do love that song!

  
Happy Sunday everybody!
Susanne

Happy Sunday - Enjoy your Weekend!

Don't aim for success if you want it; 

just do what you love and believe in, 

and it will come naturally.

HAPPY SUNDAY - it's Sunday again!

For happiness, one needs security, but joy can spring like

a flower even from the cliffs of despair.

Your private dancer...

But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe.

Ruth St. Denis 

Hi my friends,

Thank you for all the nice comments to my last post.

Today I'm showing you a composition and impression of one for me most fascinating dances: The ballet, a fine art and poetry of the feet. 

It was my biggest dream as a little girl to be one day a "Prima-Ballerina" and dancing all over the world most famous stages. 

But, doe's not every little girl has those dreams...? :-))

Well, the little girl is grown up today, but the love for ballet remains....

Have y'all a wonderful day - don't forget to dance!

It's a choice you make...

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, 

not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. 

It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, 

but over and over again - and that choice is reflected

in the way you treat your husband or wife. 

Barbara de Angelis 

Hi my friends,

Thank you for all the kind comments to my post from last Sunday, they were happily appreciated.

Happily, I'm feeling better now after some really bad days.

A popular saying tells: "weed never dies", right? :-)

Wishing you all a good time and come back visiting me again, I love to see you (commenting) on my blog :-)

When People are Happy...

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy. 

Anton Chekhov 

Hi my friends,

Yesterday was my Birthday and yes, I had a wonderful, great day! Thank you ALL for all the over 300 congratulations and good wishes!

And this was exactly what I did in the afternoon: sitting on the beach, enjoying the sun, doing some photographs - and after all that, having a BIG ice creme ....mmmhhh...!

It felt like back in my child hood days: GOOD!!

It's great to have Birthdays! :-))

I agree so much with the quote by Anton Chekhov.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day too!!

Come Dance with the West Winds...

 

Fly away with me

Come dance with the west wind,
And touch all the mountain tops,
Sail o'er the canyons, and up to the stars,
And reach for the heavens, and hope for the future,
And all that we can be, not what we are.

~John Denver~ 

 Hi my friends,

it seems that the problems in Japan are not ending at all - our prayers are with all the Japanese people!

I want to say thank you to all of you for your kind comments to my last posts where I tried to explain my sadness and feelings to this unbelievable painful nature disaster - it's still a shock for the whole world!

My today's post is about the humans dream to fly and John Denver wrote it down with wonderful words!

Come and fly with me!

If there really exist a loving God....

Hi my friends,
in these sad days of being eye witness of all the terrible disaster that happened to Japan - and still happen - it's hard to blog about anything. No words can describe the pain and sadness the Japanese people are going trough right now!!!!

If there really exist a "loving God"... where is he now? If you see him, ask him just one word: WHY???

~Susanne

Weeping for Japan!

Weeping for all the people in Japan - our thoughts are with you!

And the river runs....

 

Banana River at sunset

The Banana River

is a lagoon that lies between Cape Canaveral and Merritt Island in Brevard County, Florida in the United States. It is part of the Indian River Lagoon system, and connects at its south end to the Indian River; it is the only part of the lagoon system not in the Intracoastal Waterway. It also has an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via a lock into Port Canaveral. The lagoon includes salt marshes, mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, drift algae, oyster bars, tidal flats, and spoil islands, providing habitats for many marine species.These are brackish waters mixed of salt and fresh water;waist deep with a soft bottom sand/grass. Commercial and recreational activities in the lagoon generate more than US$ 800 million annually for the local economy.

Hi my friends,

many thanks for all the kind comments to my last post here on my blog or over there at Facebook. 

Love to see you enjoying my humbled blog :)

Today's picture is a detail shot of the Banana River in sunset light. 

I was longtime waiting for some Dolphins to appear at the surface or a Manatee, but nothing happend! 

I guess they just were not in a mood to smile into my camera. 

Well, maybe another day, who knows....*smile*.....

Have a wonderful Friday - it's weekend again! 

Is time flying by faster than ever???
