Welcome to Litsy!

Since I don't #work at the moment, I'm enjoying the #luxury to follow where my #creativity leads me.

This week I made soap (picture above) and lotion bars. Next week, I'll probably bake biscuits.

I'm glad that I can get creative when I want to but I don't have to be creative every day.

BTW, I can craft, I cannot decorate.

I was more or less just in from a coffee date and short trip along the highstreet when a friend popped in with the latest "flow" magazine - a #luxury I buy maybe once a year. So I'm grateful for the magazine and a dear friend who bought it just for me.

Excuse me, I'm going with the flow for a few hours, all books will be read after I emerge.

#Knowledge is some sort of #comfort to me. From an early age on I've wanted to know how things work, what happened back when there were knights in castles, why are there holes in the cheese,... A few times I took apart a device to know how it worked - most memorable to me is a doorlock that I opened and the springs jumped at me.

Other than that, I'm grateful for all the #comfort that my home, clothes, food offer me.

Without the advancement of #technology I would not be able to write this to you right now. I wouldn't even know all of you.

I'm grateful for #technology it allowed me to meet and stay in touch with my Litsy family.

#Art is such a broad field, spanning millennia, materials, techniques...

Like words and stories, we wouldn't be who we are without works of art.

I'm thankful for the wonderful #litsybreakfastmeeting we had today. Thank you for the #gifts that I have hidden in my wardrobe now, @scripturient @Heideschrampf @Sarah83.

I'm also grateful for the #wisdom to re-arrange my appointments for tomorrow, so I can sleep a little longer than 4.30am. 😉

#Music - although I also enjoy silence, I love some background music, occasionally loud music (when I sing along completely out of tune).

I'm often listening to music while reading.

I'm grateful for the #memories I can make with my kids. In #nature and everywhere else. Their #laughter is a clear sign that they are enjoying the moments as much as I do.

Right now #Happiness is marshmallows on my choco-ccino, having warm and freshly massaged hands (my ergo therapist is wonderful), and an hour of writing for #NaNoWriMo.

#inspiration hits me from a lot of things and I'm grateful for all the small things I can get inspired by. Moreover, I'm grateful for my inner monitor that let's me appreciate things I see or read, but tells me that it is okay when I don't follow the inspiration bug all the time. 😉

What a wonderful idea for a photochallenge @hermyknee. Thank you for bringing it to Litsy.

#Gratitude30 #home

My home is my castle, my reading nook, where I feel save. Just yesterday I was asked whether there are any problems in my neighbourhood and the worst thing I could think of was the pedestrian traffic lights that have a too short green phase.
I'm grateful to be living here, having a very comfortable flat, and nice neighbours. And sunrises
