Those of you who are scattered,
simplify your worrying lives.
There is one righteousness:
Water the fruit trees,
and don't water the thorns.
Rumi
Just came to say 'I like you' and offer something sweet and colourful because you deserve it today.
I'm seeing what it's like to water the fruit trees. To wake up in the morning and decide to smile, just because.
Will be back with more words when my life has calmed down a bit ~ so much of it in so little time. Wishing you bright colours, cheeky westerly winds to tease your hair and warm woolly blankets.
I like you.
xx
Well you already know how I feel about BEAUTIFUL you :)
Take your time, snuggle up with a good book and a strong cup of tea... wrap a scarf around your neck and take a walk admiring all the beauty that surrounds you... do something glorious for your self :)
I shall of course be here when you return!
love and lollipops too
xoxo

I like you too. ;-) with a hug and a kiss!
One step at a time...
miss you miss you miss you...
your hugs...
your giggles...
your excitement...
your deep thinking wondering posture...
your yummie tea....
your uncertainty when talking about something new...
your relief when it's verbalised...
your love for life!
your love for yourself...
even when it is difficult,
we have to love ourselves first... but you know that...
i miss your...
smile...
your...
I just miss YOU! xx

Rumi did have a way with words didn't he? Somehow he always found the fun and the love that was possible if you look for it. I think you do that, too.

Oh beautiful caroline,
I'm stopping by to say I saw you in the autumn leaves this morning... and I felt your tender breath as the heat rose from my cup of tea, gently caressing my cheek...
I shall carry your beautiful fragile spirit in my heart's pocket today for I am thinking of you my beautiful friend...

I sat watching the cascading leaves... that looked to me like parchment come alive, which led to thoughts of tender words on pages worn, which today have led to thoughts of you.
I smiled as I thought of you with your pockets full to overflowing :)
Happy Tuesday, (you are missed!) xoxo

What a lively and mouth watering photo!
Thank you for the warm welcome back to blogland Caroline! I noticed that you have been away for a while as well and hope that your absence is just temporarily, because I love to read you lines...and I know that so many others do as well. Hugs from Norway!

A Girl Just Like Mother
No matter which girl he brought home， the young manNike AIR Forcefound disapproval from his mother． A friend gave him advice．
“Find a girl just like your mother—then she's bound to like her．
So the young man searched and searched， and finally found the girl．He told his friendly adviser：
“Just like you said， I found a girl who looked，talked
Nike air jordan shoes，dressed， and even cooked like mother．And just as you said，mother liked her”
“So，”asked the friend，“what happened？”
“Nothing，”said the young man．“My father hates her！”
