joi de vivre

Over welke onderwerpen praat je graag?

life is too short to waste it, so I like to talk about every moment of joy in a happy and provocative expression

showing frivolous joy invites others to join in joi de vivre

if I could preserve the earth

with the ark that has been used before,
what would I take with me?

clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean crops,
clean thoughts, clean spirits, clean minds

………

just a reset program ‘clean future’
if I could preserve the earth

routine

Noem een moment waarop je geen actie hebt ondernomen, maar had gehoopt dat je dat wel had gedaan. Wat zou je anders hebben gedaan?

routine daily actions are the biggest pitfall for a life in which conscious choices are neglected, where I went left while I actually wanted to go right

I have described three such drastic moments from my life in my book,

to make it clearer lessons to be able to resist the apathy of routine from now on

Daily writing prompt
How do you unwind after a demanding day?

at my age (almost 66), the concept of ‘demanding’
has a different perspective
compared to somewhere at the beginning of my career,
with a growing family and social obligations,
securing the necessary financial resources
and contributing to the social community

have learned to accept my obligations,
to put them into perspective
and to soften the overly sharp edges with a little humor
this is how I incorporate the demandingness of the day
into my daily activities,

and if there is any unrest,
I withdraw, together with my loved one
and a glass of wine,

New running shoes

Noteer het eerste dat bij je opkomt.

My first thought this morning was: have to buy new running shoes because my current shoes exceeded the limited distance.

Well: check!!

New asics in the waterscape colour matching the cpluzc-blue.

Running is one of the exercise activities that keep my body and mind in shape: fit for purpose.

Can’t wait running my new running shoes

colorido

flamenco is colorful, temperamental, full of life, proud, virtuoso…
a melting pot of
Indian, Arabic, Jewish, Moorish, Byzantine….influences,

with my experiences in Seville, Cadiz and Málaga I end up with:
just typical Andalusian

here is just one Spanish website from the plethora of sites

fertile soil

when buying my food in a store
I rarely think about its origin
after all,
the shelves are full here in this privileged part of the world

time for me to investigate
whether Mother Earth
can naturally supply all the food
that we as world population need

it is no longer so self-evident with almost 8 billion people on earth

I would like to draw attention here
to an Italian initiative,
just one of the many initiatives I came across on the internet,
an eye-opener for me

there is something to tell me to do:
I will choose much more consciously from the food on offer

from now on I will avoid supermarkets
and find my way among small-scale producers
who consciously deal with the
fertile soil

I owe it to myself, my family, my fellow citizens, but above all to the people who will come after me
