Want vs. Need

-
It's that time of year again, when the shops start sneaking in things that shouldn't really be out until late November. It feels wrong seeing stuff with snow crystals & Santas on now. We should be celebrating autumn's abundance...not the Ghost of xmas yet to come. On top of that people's already started to ask me what kinda "pressies" I want for my birthday & the holidays this year. o.O There's loads of unnecessary things I want...& a few things I truly need that time of year... Like warm socks, tea & candles...that's a need of mine since I use it, or rather abuse it. :P Now, what I want...that's a whole different ballgame. Let me give you a sneak peak at my looong wishlist:
This Merve Kahraman's Hybrid Chair  would look great as the head seat at the dining table, right?

There's a gazillion more things I want & dream about. But I think I'll spread it out over the next couple of weeks. Nice to have something to ramble about during the weekdays...even though it is in regard to the glorious month of December. ;)

Firewood

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…
