Introducing oneself? Did you ever introduce yourself? Not only here but in real life too I mean? It is one of the hardest things to do. Perhaps in real life, it's less needed to say something that makes sense. Some people need words, can catch their listeners with them, and wrap them around their little finger with each word that comes out of their mouths. Others have a great appearance or fame does the job for them. From the moment they appear the people are attracted by…
Just a thought **Isn't it strange how we look down on people, their habits, primitive beliefs, but at the same time use their habits, the ones that fit us, just to comfort us and make our lives easier or... give it more sense?** Not yoga and meditation only but Zen, Reiki, Acupuncture, dreamcatchers, and animal spirits are all an example of what does not belong to most of us if it comes to the way how we are raised or the culture we are born in. **What makes this all so…
Love Love it is a feeling. A feeling that can make you and break you. Many talk about it, long for it and it is strange how hard it is to find (true) love. We have overpopulation and with the help of the internet, we can meet as many people as we like. Shouldn't it be a piece of cake to find the love of our life? How come rarely happens? **The first question is if true love exists or we just think it does.** The second question is if, in the old days, people loved each other…
Coughing criminals If you cough you are a criminal. I never thought it would come that far to the society I live in, it would even happen worldwide but these days, no matter what you suffer from, everything is a sign of the coronavirus. Suddenly no other diseases seem to exist. You have covid19 and spread the coronavirus or you have nothing. There's no other option. **Many people cough.** Coughing people do for all kinds of reasons. To clear the throat, because they chocked…
Horoscopes There are different types of horoscopes and it's said they are true, even might help you if... you believe in it. It depends on the day, month, and year what you are, how a horoscope labels you. It depends on the label how your life will be, which steps you take, if you are successful in life, relationships, if you can make decisions, are the perfect person to be someone's slave and make someone else's company successful, if you are the one who always wants to…
Words They are heard and said. Noticed, misunderstood, bring comfort, hurt, are the carriers of love, and spread hate. Is there any need to speak, use words at all? *An expression says enough, so do the eyes. Aren't they the mirrors of the soul?* If we only would pay some more attention. Observe and see, could feel what is going on. **Many songs are sung about "words".** *"Words don't come easy to me..."* Do they come easily to you? Are you able to catch your listener with…
No fear. **Masks** Face masks. We do not wear them but suddenly have to. A bit strange since the number of infected people, and those dying, decreased since March 23, 2020. At the moment it's about 10-30 daily. There's a good reason why no one was asked to use a mask. *(With no one I mean the common people.)* First reason: not enough masks. Second reason: not hygienic especially not those homemade ones. Third reason: with masks, people feel secure and forget about the social…
Window wavers *Do you know one or are you a window waver yourself?* "Window waver" it reminds me of elderly or sick people staying behind their window waving at you when you leave. They no longer show you out, wave at you at the front door, or walk along with you till the end of the road or corner. Suddenly the window waver, a person who exists as long as I can remember, is typical for people who have to keep social distance, are not allowed to let visitors inside, because…
The need for vitamin C I searched for healthy food. Food that contains vitamin C and if possible more as just one vitamin. Something complete some food that does good. Superfood? How did people stay healthy about 50-100 years ago? At that time they drank and smoked way more as these days. What did they eat to get all those high rates of vitamins and minerals the experts tell us we need these days? What was on their menu? In most families there were only 6 different menus. On…
Are you happy? Is there a need to be happy? What means happiness? Isn't it just a feeling, one of those feelings we all have? A feeling that comes, stays for a few minutes, and next it is gone. It happens to all of us... from one moment to the next someone or something spoiled our mood/day. The power of positive thinking. Norman Vincent Peale, a USA preacher, published a book with this title in 1952. Most of us know this expression. Not because we all read the book but…
Friends "In the old day's people were real friends". I can't count the time people said this. Is it true? Was it easier to make a friend for life at the time my parents lived, my grandparents were alive, 500 or 5000 years ago? Did people really change that much if it comes to relationships? **History tells us people lived together.** It was saver to do so. Men were hunters and women became the first farmers and took care of home and children. History did not tell us if these…
The power inside Strength **Inner strength.** Did you ever search for the meaning of "inner strength"? The dictionary says inner-strength. Noun. (plural inner strengths) (idiomatic) Integrity of character; resoluteness of will; mental resistance to doubt or discouragement. Search the internet and all kinds of meanings, or what people describe as their inner strength, show up on your screen. Is *inner strength* a strong will, being stubborn, the power inside that makes you…
Freud Did you hear of Sigmund Freud? Around 1897 he wrote a boy would be sexually attracted to his mother at the age of three years old and start hating his father and a girl should be attracted to her father and therefore hate her mother. Decennial psychologist and shrinks stuck to Freud's "discovery". It was their way to explain every kind of behavior and of course, it fits great with the holy book if it comes to girls. The idea girls love, adore their father and therefore…
WHO cares? **Do you know who nearly owns the WHO?** I will not tell you who, you all are smart enough to figure it out yourself. The WHO, or actually one person, rules and they tell you what is good for you, good for your health or... the world's health. The world's health has nothing to do with your health or mine. The world doesn't care about you or me. We are just one of those many people who can be replaced if... we needed to be replaced at all. **WHO kills who?** During…
Water **I am out of water.** Not one single drop comes out of my tap. I should have seen this come because it's not the first time I have to deal with water issues. In most cases, I think it's the water pump. Somehow I forget the well needs to be filled. We haven't had enough rain in at least one year and it's possible the city or farmers use the groundwater too. A house without water is not a great place to stay. My pond is empty for over one year now. I never refilled it.…
How about some freewriting? Improve your writing skills. How? By writing on a daily base. It doesn't matter if you are good at it or if you are a native speaker. The great thing about free writing is there's no need to do any investigations about the subject you write about. You just write! **We can only improve skills by practicing.** So let's do it. Pick a word and write for ten minutes about this particular word. Write what pops up in your mind. There's no need to compose…
How to delete drafts? Dear people, **I could use some help here.** With a slow internet connection like mine frequently something goes wrong. As I wrote the article "Water" and tried to publish it it didn't work out. I wrote it for a second time and tried to save it first as a draft which didn't seem to work. I needed to restart read. cash wrote again and published but... (how come there's always a but?) I noticed I have 19 drafts saved with the title "Water". Nineteen…
