Oh hi! Sorry for disappearing on you. I was very determined to keep posting three times a week, but when I realized that all my posts would end up with just me whining about feeling sick, I decided to not do that. Yes, I was sick again. Or maybe, still sick (I’ve been on and…

An uninvited guest
Well, yes. That’s one of my garden gloves and it’not empty. It’s kind of silly, we know to always shake out our shoes or garden clogs before sticking our toes in them (our scorpions aren’t deadly, but their sting does hurt like crazy). But it never occurred to me to check my gloves. Luckily this…
I found it!
I finally found the library! Yeah, I know that sounds silly, but they moved in the summer (when we were away) and I just couldn’t find the adress they listed on the website (google maps isn’t all that acurate here). But two weeks ago, I suddenly saw them, right at the side of the road…
Things that make me happy
I’ve been wanting to make a post like this for a while, but I really hoped to get a list of ten and I never got that far. Oh well, baby steps. Three is good too. One: Tea. Tea in general, but this tea is very good. And yes, drinking that specific tea means… let’s…
A simple truth
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” — Dolly Parton(quote found here) I was looking for a quote that would sound more beautiful, poetic, literary, magical, spiritual, I don’t know. But this one resonated with me. Because it’s the simple truth.
Time
I’m having one of those I’m-not-feeling-so-well-weeks (actually it’s week two already) and I’m running out of blogposts. I usually have some prepared, or at least a list of ideas of what I can write, but I’m coming up empty today. I browsed last week photo’s and saw I took pictures of the clocks in our…
One word
I have a love/hate relationship with the “One Word” tradition. I usually don’t chose the words, they just “come to me”. I know that sounds weird. But I usually think of a word and dismiss it for various reasons, only to find out that it actually was a really good word for that year. Like…
About plans, ambitions and prioritizing
(totally unrelated picture , though you probably could find a deeper meaning in sprouting seeds that are still in the pod. I just think this is a really cool thing mother nature does – a lot of trees on Curacao have seeds in pods and this how she gives them a headstart in that harsh…
Right now
Right now I am… :: so, so happy to be home. Each time we come back after a visit to The Netherlands I feel more like this really is my home. :: tired. Very tired. I hardly slept last night, even though my body loves this bed more than the one in the cabin, and…
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you all! I was going to write a lengthy post about my goals and hopes for this year, but these last days of our visit to the Netherlands are extremely busy, so I’ll cut myself some slack and postpone that post till later. That is one of my most important resolutions;…
