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 : )
