Somewhere between reality and fantasy

Picture; Google

This is to my knowledge a painting by Thomas Kinkade, one of my favorite artists, but I have no idea who put the rain in there. I do know however that I love it and somehow it feels fitting as it represents a image of the real life weather here right now and my imaginary hometown where I'l love to live for real. Thank you for dreams, wishes and imagination that make them real.

Today is a perfect day...

Yesterday's rain have moved on and there is blues spots above between the clouds, and I even saw a glimps of sunshine a moment ago. It's a perfect day to have a prefect day...and for a new start on this new life, and I am grateful. Like the clouds ~ I am moving on, too, and now I look forward to positive changes.

What makes a perfect day? It's different for all of us, what makes my day perfect may not be to your taste at all. A perfect day for me is a day that makes me feel great about myself and the gifts the day brings. It's quite simple really. Live is meant to be easy and fun to live, and it is when we don't complicate things. The happiest, and most successful, people I know are kind of happy-go-lucky people who just expect everything to turn out great (without thrying to control how), and I am looking forward to live more like that in this new chapter of my life. 

This Saturday I will do a little bit of soul searching and take a honest look at what I really want from my life now, and maybe a bit of planning ahead... I have no restrictions when making wishes for this new chapter of my life, none at all, no matter how unrealistic they may seem to someone else, and it probably would. It's my life, right. Just because one turns 65 it doesn't mean that life stops, and it shouldn't mean anything like that. Age truly is just a number and all it say is how many years you have lived. Old on the other hand is a state of mind, how we feel ~ but not mine. I don't feel old, and I never will feel old (is 20 - 25 too young to you?) and that's how it is. 

So what does Life have to offer a rather poor woman that never will feel old? I guess it depends on what she is looking for. I am looking for what makes me happy and makes me feel good, what brings me positive changes and make me feel grateful for all those things, but I can't put a name on exactly what they are. But I am excited to find out. This will be an interesting summer, and I do wish for great new experiences and changes that will make life magical. Have a happy summer. I know I will.

 

Time passed

This is my very young self, 4 or 5 years young, smiling at the camera, I can't really remember much from back then but I look happy here, don't I?

Below is a much older (65), and wiser me, with life experience and wisdom gathered and now I'm ready for a new chapter in life. What life will bring me on this new path, I don't know...I wish for a simpler, more relaxed, and more fun life now.... Don't we all?

A new chapter begin...

 The past...that has been.

................................................................................

The present...that is now.

                                                                                  .....................................................................................

The unknown future that has not yet happened.

A new chapter is to start in this old-fashioned gal's life ~ and I am so looking forward to it. What's the point of clinging to the past, or staying in a present that one has long outgrown? It's so much better to move on and create a better future that suits the person I am now. And so the new chapter begin....one filled with magic, miracles and everyday wonders.
