A bargain

-

I’ve been out & about today... Was at a flee market at my Mum’s old school & then went to this cute café with my Mum & her best friend, then took a stroll down to the beach. I’ve had problems moving cause of the f**king pain afterwards, but atleast I did something productive. Mind over matter ey?

Got a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people there, but I got out  -alive- with this gem.

Found this little gem & a huge clock that looks like a pocket watch at the flee market. Cost me about 15$. Gonna do something with the box, just don't know what yet...

I got a lot of firewood from my lovely neighbours today, so now I have this huge pile in my garage & a nice & toasty house. 



I take my hat off to him, that has worked a lifetime doing that…chopping down trees, tending to the woodland. Hard work...& think, he’s way over 80 & still does it with a smile. 
Then there’s her, gosh, her kindness radiates. I can’t even explain it, but she somehow teaches me gratitude on a whole different level - & grace. She reminds me that there’s a lot to be thankful for, it’s just a matter of perspective… 



Guess what I’m most thankful for at the moment is that this hollow space in my heart’s slowly being filled again…through kindness & the simple thing of being seen, & opening my own eyes to the little things in life - that actually is life itself.

365

I'm sorry for my lame ass updates these days... Trying to do the 'Write 365 days in a row'-thingy. Doesn't work well with home hunting + a health that's crappy. Right now for instant I'm sick to my stomach & in tears, cause of the pain in my neck... It even makes me sensitive to the bright light on the screen. Counting the hours to my physical therapist appointment.

Portugal on my mind

Besides walking into a bus shed cause I was staring at a guy's beard after an appointment with my physical therapist, I haven't really done anything eventful...except for exercise, upping my dosage on the meds & staring at pics from around the world. My heart kinda landed in Portugal this time around though...
1.Lagos, Praia do Camilo 2.Algarve, Carvoeiro Beach 3.Algarve, Yummy Seafood 4.Algarve, Diving 5.Tavira, Cementerio de anclas 6. Algarve, Benagil Cave.7.Algarve, Surfing.  8.Douro River Cruise
I can easily picture spending lazy days by the sea, enjoying fresh seafood & soaking up the scenery. :)
Nevertheless, Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra is definitely my number 1 destination in Portugal. When I first saw pictures of especially The initiationwell I got all tingly inside...if that was the meds kicking in or not, I do not know. ;) But some childhood fantasy of mine surfaced for sure. It's a 30 meter or so inverted tower & absolutely magical... Picture; courtesy…
