Ich finde du kannst wunderbar malen, ist das nichts? Deine "Schöne" hängt immer noch bei mir in der Fensterwand. Immer, wenn ich sie betrachte, denke ich an dich.<br />LG SabineSabine Gimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365928002050499569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-81735995380668090362014-04-13T12:49:13.743-04:002014-04-13T12:49:13.743-04:00You have lovely photos Silke!

He asked me why I have to watch a movie every Sat. night. Like you - my response was that the movie is entertaining and I am able to escape from weekday work. I forget about what is happening around me and jump into the story for 2-3 hours of someone else!! <br />Take care of yourself!!

When I'm stuck in the middle of it, I forget all of the good things. You decided you wanted to make art, and you do. Your organizational skills are still there, but they haven't been at the top of your list of priorities. You have a wonderful husband and pets, and friends... Talk soon? I'll say more about how great you are...Antonia Cardellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377712465793438988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-63190083765817451712014-04-11T16:20:57.359-04:002014-04-11T16:20:57.359-04:00It's been a long time since I last felt "...It's been a long time since I last felt "worthless" (what a horrible thing to say anyway), but what helped me getting my mind off an unwanted track was playing with my cat (sounds familiar?), go out for a run, or listen to some favourite music of mine. But of course sometimes I was stuck too deep to even make that effort.<br />As long as you know such thoughts are lies, and you talk about them with someone as close to you as your husband, I don't think you should worry too much.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-56569784970536985212014-04-11T10:55:32.051-04:002014-04-11T10:55:32.051-04:00Glad that your day turned into a good one after al...Glad that your day turned into a good one after all.<br />Brenda Maashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451724306271286173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-31684511204781408032014-04-11T10:11:52.821-04:002014-04-11T10:11:52.821-04:00Glad to hear your day turned around, Silke.

Or the ti...Oh my Dear, is it "the moon"? Or the tides? Or the time of year? Or perhaps, the whole Universe is "having a bad hair day"... Anyway, many of us out here in Pretty Blog Land, are bumping up against huge walls. Walls built, in our minds! -sigh-<br /><br />But! Scratch that 'sigh'! We are sharing the "tough spots." Posting about them... Taking them apart and putting them back together again, just as they happened.<br /><br />And best of all, we are sharing what we did, to emerge from behind these walls. Walls we made ourselves. Probably influenced by long held beliefs. Or by recently-read silly ideas. Still built ourselves, brick by brick... But we are learning how to dismantle them, ourselves, brick by brick.<br /><br />Betcha' there are many more, like us! Getting stuck in old patterns, or stopped by long-held-silly beliefs. Struggling... Unhappy... Confused... <br /><br />And since it's all-in-our-minds, no one may ever know. Unless we let it out. Like you did. Unless we have a wonderful, understanding husband, to let it out to. Or a wonderful, understanding friend...<br /><br />Thank you for sharing! You helped me, a day or 2 ago, to get a hold of how to take down my "brick wall." And you continue helping, here.<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />Tessa~<br /><a href="http://heretherebemusing.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">"Here there be musing"</a> blog<br /><a href="http://heretherebemorewords.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">"Here there be more words"</a> blogTessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-12866940132575543352014-04-11T08:10:55.988-04:002014-04-11T08:10:55.988-04:00Silke, I'm sorry your thoughts ran away with y...Silke, I'm sorry your thoughts ran away with you yesterday. It sounds like you are quickly getting back on track. It's great that you have something really fun to look forward to -- beginning tomorrow, right? I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about yesterday. It's a new day, and now we should all just make the most of it!
