Sometimes opposites or contradictions can be best friends...so long as they complement each other....
...bright & dark
...pink & grey
...dots & stripes
...curves & lines
...light & shadows
...low & high
...day & night
...feminine & masculine
...geometry & poetry
...mind & heart
...and so many more, endless pairs of opposites to name...
...all particapting in the dance of life...can form a beautiful wholeness, so long as they accept & respect each others existence....working with and for each other.
...so long as they are both true & authentic, they can complement each other, resulting in a unity based on healthy oneness.
Not the alsmost usual mosaic (so far!-> update: here it is) to wish you all a wonderful weekend, but a diptych instead.
Enjoy all the aspects of life!

cake love & a happy new week!
Hello there :)
I hope you all had a delightful weekend and were able to find happiness in the small, simple & important things, among others of course!
Thanks to the recipe & precise instructions of a lovely online friend, enjoying a delicious carrot cake was one of the highlights of this weekend.
Oh!...the pleasure of accomplishment....can sometimes be found is such simple things as trying to bake a new cake recipe, succeeding, enjoying it or in exploring our artistic natures, such as when crafting and/or photographing for example...
....there are certainly talents & passions in every individual and investing time into exploring them is a valuable way of finding pleasure, a sense of achievement & happiness, that doesn't depend on others, our relationships or our formal jobs, but it is simple and deeply connected to ourselves.
There is always time, if we think about it, sometimes more and sometimes less, depending on our current life conditions. But there is no such thing as being passionate about something and not ever finding the way and the time to be engaged in it!
...and sometimes all we people need is a gentle push and a reassuring tap on our shoulders!
What about you?....what are you passionate about and try to make up time in order to be involved with it?
Or if there is practically no time in your daily lives now, what is it that you wish to and plan for doing, as soon as this is possible?
What is it that you love to do during which you forget yourself and at the same time you find yourself?
Are you maybe lucky enough and have already worked hard to have made your passion be your daily reality, way of living and possibly your formal job?
What a way to start a week....by posing questions! But my intentions are to wish you all a lovely week and do think, that by encouraging us to do the things we really love, is a possible way of managing to experience meaningful moments of happiness throughout our days.
As far as my weekend is concerned, I did take the advice of many of you here, who commented on this recent post - expressing much tireness and temporary inability to move forward - and all I did was relax and free my mind from thoughts!
On line engagement was also limited, despite the fact that the whole Saturday was spent at home, engaging in to such activities, as magazine reading, crafting, cooking & spending nice time with loved ones.
Sunday was a fine day out, with the weather finally showing a more Springy face! Visting family for lunch and early afternoon coffee & cake and then long walks in the woods, while being on a Photo Safari (of which pictures will be soon shared on flickr) were excellent for bringing peace in a lately overworried mind, settling emotions and charging the self's batteries. Isn't nature one of the most wonderful presents?...and companionship just another one?
Thank you all for taking the time to share and comment here lately! Have the loveliest of weeks!

...and a very Happy Weekend!
...it's May...
...it's actually the middle of May...
...it has been rainy, grey & cold since almost the past two weeks...
...long walks and bicycling aren't exactly favorited...
...but life is good when we make it good...
...and that's why I' m wishing you to spend a weekend as lovely as you can...
...despite the weather or other possible unpleasant conditions - in case there are some...
...and have gathered here in this small mosaic...
... moments of this week, which were happy and sweet and carefree...
...eventhough there were also moments of sadness and darker thoughts as mentioned here.
Breakfast time, shared with my partner is something I cherish like a treasure and so are - not so often - meetings with friends, like the one I had yesterday with a very dear one of mine.
Enjoyed Thai soup in a nice, newly opened and minimally decorated place and then hot chocolate and homemade cake at a favorite cafe in Mainz and strolled around the small art & handmade fair, where these super cute & happy dotted cups and mugs were found!
May this weekend result for all of us in a happy combination, much as strawberries and dots make!

Gorgeousness....Happy Monday!
To wish you a happy Monday - as much as this is rather the opposite of the truth for many - an assemlance of gorgeous photos, all taken by very talented flickr members, some of them being contacts of mine and others caring the title of online friends.
Moments of Spring, vivid but yet harmonious colours, flowers and again flowers, in pots, in bouquettes, in bicycle baskets, on fabrics and wallpapers, but also geometric patterns, black & white, graffiti on the...floor and time for sandals and wooven baskets to carry our groceries in or just become home to some magazines or yarn.
Not to forget blue skies, dogs - a man's best friend - and beautiful gardens, the empty chairs of which are soon to be inhabited by lightly dressed people, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the freshness of a cool breeze....
So with this charming dance of colours, here go my wishes:
Have the loveliest week of all! And a warm thank you for all the visits here, which I have noticed to have really increased lately. You finding inspiration here, is my present! Thank you so much : )

Happy Mother's Day!
Of all the gifts of life, motherhood must be one of the most precious ones! To all the mothers of the world, biological and not, hope you are spending lovely days with your families, your loved ones, yourselves or however you wish!
Today I'm thankful for having been born a woman and for having been brought up by a caring, loving mother.

Weekend wishes...
Have a delightful, loving, peaceful and fun weekend....
...cherish the ones around you and look for the good sides, rather than the bad ones...
...eat strawberries and berries if you like, that are now in season...
...indulge yourself in chocolate, guilty free....just enjoy!...but do also engage into healthy actions...
...be lost in the magic and preciousness of simple, beautiful and handcrafted things...
...find the importance of life in all its glory, by looking inside and enjoying nature...
...let's all have ourselves a wonderful weekend!
Happy Friday & a lovely weekend!
These tulips are seen so often these days, especially here on flickr....they have also been coming in the Penthouse's environment since almost a month now,...again and again...in variations but mostly pink and white.
Yesterday's grocering bag had also two bouquettes, one in white and a pink one with white petal edges. They inspired some styling play this sunny morning and the outcome can be seen above. A favorite design - toy horse came out of its drawer to add some playfullness, as Spring certainly calls for that.
Eventhough acting like a child when we actually are adults is rather inappropriate and uncharming, being playful can bring some charm in our daily lives. Moreover, it's a nice reminder of other precious characteristics of children's personalities, such as purity, genuine interest and enthusiasm.
So, the wish for this weekend is to be responsible adults, cherishing the child inside us and bringing some of its qualities in our everyday lives.
The above tablescape was a temporary one and pictures of the one as it actually settled and is now, are to follow.
Hope you are spending a lovely Friday and will enjoy a great weekend!
Enjoy your day...
may it have...
* the freshness of crisp air and pretty flowers...
* the sweetness of sugar...
* the warmth of a cup of tea...
...and may we celebrate life & love on every occasion possible...
...perceiving love mostly as openess, clearness inside, forgiveness and going beyond our selfish existences....as loving ourselves differentiates much from and shouldn't be mistaken for having room ONLY for ourselves...
...to the eternal seekers of happiness, please stop...and look inside...happiness, love and light are here and now....no better house will bring it, no better or more possesions...for all these can be taken away...and the only thing that matters and will always be with us...is...US...ourselves...who we are, what we think, what we've learned, what we've offered and what we've said....
....so let's mind the words we use....as they can bring lots of happiness or unhappiness to others....and had we done something wrong...apologising and acting towards a positive direction will fix the harm done....

Especially devoted to these friends of mine who are feeling kind of troubled these days....it will be just fine my dear friends.
But also to the ones who are already happy, the ones I love, the ones who love me and those who have been there and still are when I 'm walking through my " Bridge over troubled waters".
My real life supporters, they know who they are, thank you for making it possible for me to be where I am today and heading there where I want to be. Am thankful for having you in my life and understanding that love can hardly be found in words, rather in doing and being. Thank you, so much.
