Nice to see a new post! It was posted rather quickly, too! Please let me know if you got my letter in late January, as I've had a few returned in the past (no stickers or return address labels this time!). Everyone here is doing great. Hope to hear from you again soon.
I realize you use this blog primarily to communicate with your family. Therefore, I apologize for intruding. Reading through the different blogs, your's caught my attention with your words and positive outlook. I just have to say that you are brilliant!! There is no other way to say it other to than to be frank and to the point. The advice you give to your children is so well written. I have three grown children myself and often I am at a loss for words in the advice department. I also love your artwork. You are very talented. Although it seems you have made your mistakes like we all have, it appears you have reconnected with your children and you show them that you love them very much. Lol, possibly sometime I might pick your brain on how to word the advice I give to my own children. Keep up the positive attitude, the blogging and the lovely artwork, I look forward to seeing more.
I have been 'out' for some time, my holidays with Christmas and new year kept me much busy and in january of this year, I helas stayed for some 12 days in hospital. Wel everything seems to be OK again. I mailed Rita this evening, maybe we can meet some day. That would be very nice!
Nice to read you do some meditation again. You're right, even 10 minutes each time can make a change in your life.
I'm reading some nice book about a man who was for 34 years warden in a Belgian prison. He did a lot to improve the situation of the prisoners, b.o. by giving opportunities to follow courses which enabled them to work when they got free again. He Always found the right people on the right places to work out his ideas. He worked with an open door system, this means that some parts of the day the prisoners are free to move around within the four walls. Prisoners were also enabled to learn to cook and so on.
Well get to sleap now, send you a big hug and all my kind thoughts,
