Nobody said it was easy ...

Today I post just another winter picture of 'my' forest. I didn't have time to work on the few pictures I took yesterday. Achim's Christmas party consisted of a guided tour to the 'Zeche Zollverein' in Essen, an old closed coal mine - now it's a World Heritage Site - and a lovely dinner at the Rhinetower in Düsseldorf. I'll try to post them tomorrow. Sorry, but I was very busy today. Lisa, we'll talk at 10.00 uk! I'm looking forward to it. Counting the days... only 6 left till I'll see you again. Can't wait!!! xxxx

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you ...

Actually it was me, me, me .... in the snow ;-)
Let me tell you a little story to the picture on the left:

I got a pedicure at my friend's the other eve. With french you don't have a problem, cause the nail varnish dries quickly under a heat lamp. This time I wanted my toes to be painted with red nail varnish. The drawback is that the varnish takes very long to dry. I had my flip flops with me and I put them carefully on. But we are having a real winter in Krefeld this year with snow and frost and everything. So I suppose it must have been a funny picture... imagine me in my woolen coat, scarf, gloves and beanie with only flip flops on my feet walking through the snow. Yes, of course it was only the short walk to my car and back from the car to our front door.
Anyway, it was a laugh. Then I saw some foot prints in the fresh snow on the street and I had a nice idea. I got my flip flops off as well and printed my foot steps beside the ones already existing. You can see them documented on the photo. xxxx

Salvation lets their wings unfold ...

so when I’m lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead... ( Angels, by Robbie Williams)

I saw this on our window early this morn and I immediately thought about wings and angels. For me angels are good thoughts. Thoughts that protect us and guide us.

So today I always had this feeling of being uplifted and that put a smile on my face every time I recalled the image on our window.
I told you, I'm in this special Christmas mood already ;-) On my way to work I heard the new Coldplay Christmas song on the radio, that added to it. But I like it .... so be a bit patient with me. I will come down soon enough. xxxx

Where it's so white as snow ...

Running through a field where all my tracks will be concealed
and there is nowhere to go... (Snow, by Red Hot Chili Peppers)

You guess already why I post this picture today, don't you? Yes of course, the snow is back in Krefeld. That's what I was looking and hoping for. I love to run through the snow covered landscape. It's silent, soooo beautiful ... and I most often get into a state of meditation while running. Sounds crazy, but it helps to get your head clear and to overcome the stress these days.

Lisa, I miss you like crazy!!! I'm so much looking forward to seeing you in only TEN days.
What do you think? Will we continue to write our blogs or should we just stop writing? Do it together? What for? To whom .... another project?
Good ideas are appreciated and welcome!
Have to go to bed. It was a long and busy day. Good night and sleep tite, my sweetie! xxxx
