Sunday´s

 ... are for asking questions!

A friend of mine posted this one last week and I was pondering about it ever since.

I love this question. It got me thinking again. About dreams. And work... and whether I´m brave enough to admit some of the wishes or dreams or crazy stuff I would like to do if I were brave enough to say them. Out. Loud.

Here is to a new week and to the things we all want to do and to the things we don´t say.

Let´s take one small thing and turn it into one thing we don´t want to do, but which we actually did.

Till soon.

Sunday´s are for...

... wise words.

Today we were sitting in church, side by side with a good friend of mine. And while the sermon was about beauty, a matter of my heart, obviously, we were wondering what the pastor was hinting at.  Beauty is the unexpected, a turn in the road of  normality. 

After church we were getting some Chinese take away and I called the same  friend to ask if she was on her way. She responded that something horrible had happened. Her car had a breakdown, engine didn´t start. She was in the middle of the road. So I took some more noodles and walked back to her. Reassuring her that all is fine and that I will wait with her till one of this nice rescue-my-car-guys appeared. On arriving we already started giggling and I proposed to share the two seats in three and just have the picnic right there in the middle of the road. I mean we could not move the vehicle and I always wanted to have a picnic in a car. Seriously. We squeezed us three girls in the car, had our meal, chuckled and laughed the whole time... till the rescue came. 

Unexpected beauty. 

Not all turns in the road of life are as funny or as easy to be solved. Some twists are tearing you down more than others. During the past weeks I had the most amazing help and patience of a couple of close friends who listened to me and gave kind advice. One sentence of a dear friend stayed with me during the last days and weeks and I found it to be true in many situations. So today I hope that you can find inspiration in these words as well.

I wish you all a most inspired new week!!!

Sunday´s

... are for smart words from wonderful people.

This is a quote from Mary from Justin&Mary. 

It´s more for myself than for you, but maybe you will like these words as much as I do.

Have a most wonderful Sunday!

Sunday´s

... are for reflecting.

On life... humans... God´s creation and how it´s all tied together. This verse came into my head while I was thinking about my purpose. Do you know these days? When you come to a halt in your strain of thoughts and ponder upon your purpose? Your worth...

I just kinda fell in love with this hat ;-) during yesterday´s Christmas Market. 

Have a most wonderful new week!

Sunday´s are for focus

During the last days I felt like running in circles. My mind was repeating endlessly the same thoughts all over again. Sometimes we females are like that. Thoughts, worries, options all jumbled up in my tiny head without a goal or a use or a conclusion.

To be honest I felt trapped in my own head. So, as I came across the pictures from a lovely walk in the vineyard I remembered something Jesus had said.

 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (…)” 

~ John 15,5.

Sunday´s are for...

words from smart people :)

I found this quote on Jasmine´s FB page and I loved it. She quoted her Dad.

It touched me because I´m often not willing to let go, even if I pray about one thing or the other. I want to hold onto things which I cannot even influence. Which are not up to me. Maybe you feel the same sometimes. I want to better myself.

Letting go. 

I wish you the most wonderful of Sundays!

Till soon.

Sunday´s

... are for reflecting on the good stuff.

The last post was like a settle in post I realized now I should really brag about all the wonderful things I love here. Things which are great about being back. Or for my Blog: The good things of being here in the first place. I never have written my Blog from this spot of the earth before. Since I started out writing in November from Tuscany. 

1) People.walk.places. I loved the super crowded city center on Saturday. It was hard to cross the famous, ancient bridge, because of the sheer crowd. Lovely, this makes this place a teeny tiny bit more like messy Italia and I love it.

2) Vineyards paved  all around town. Tons of grapevines in beautiful rows.

3) Beautiful not to high hills all around town (even if they are not shaped as soft and beautiful as Tuscan hills) :)

4) Walking along the river at night, with all the city lights reflecting in the water. Or having a bit of moving water in the city in the first place.

Sunday´s

... are for my doggy.

If you were anywhere near the super gorgeous last-of-September-Sunday-sunny-weather today and have not used it to pieces, I think you should be punished!

Sunday´s are for

... old colors...

I believe there is a reason God gave us sight

... of light

... and colors

Sunday´s are for ...

staring at the storm clouds...

... as they turn into rose clouds while the sun sets.

"Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm." ~ Matt 8, 23-26

I wish y´all the most beautiful week!

Sunday´s are ... for the right time

Right after the Palio (horse race) high, for me there came a low. I mean I knew it would happen one of these days. But so strong and so passionate. Oh well. For many of my friends are already done with exams, are about to depart. Home, too far away countries. And this reminds me, that my time in Tuscany, well there is an end, and it´s near.

As I am a hopeless dreamer, I don´t wanna see it. I am lying to time and to days and I am standing in my favorite giardino at night, to oversee the city and I want to freeze the moment in time.

But then a small thought enters my mind.

There is a right time for everything.

And just as there is a time to listen to Robbie Williams, there is a time to stop to listen to Robbie Williams...

There is a time to come to Tuscany and there is a time for leaving Tuscany.

*My own interpretation of Ecclesiastes 3.

Right now, this month, it´s time to move on and conquer new grounds. But I know in my heart: Tuscany I will be back!

Tanti Saluti.

Sunday´s are for feeling at home

Some while ago, I was on one of my journey´s  … I met a wonderful couple.

I had this feeling with them.

I had this feeling with them. You know, this feeling when you simply know deep down. They match. They go together. They have this deep respect.
Quietness.

From stories they shared I understood they were world travelers. They were at home no matter where they found themselves. They were at home in each other. I saw - for them it was of hardly none importance. No matter where they were, no matter what they did… they were home.

I deeply adored this moment.

I wish you a great new week!

Sunday´s are for …

Walking into the kitchen and finding flowers on the table. On a grey day. Don´t you just looove it when that happens?

Sunday´s are for tea

It was a grey, rainy, quiet Sunday. Rain all day, perfect for romantic walks. Which I did not take. Nooo, I saw the sunrise today and at 6 am, frankly it was a bright, crisp morning and the soft Tuscan hills were bathed in shades of gold to cold blue.

But I wanted to write something about tea? Right. I think I am addicted… especially on grey, rainy quiet Sunday´s! There is nothing as wonderful as sipping a tea called paradise and having cookies called “Giorno perfetto” the perfect day. Nothing. Better.
