Weekend creativity

It's remarkable how mind works. I'm preparing for my exams at the moment and yet my mind pops up  fresh creative ideas.  Normally I do write them down or just doodle the idea in my idea book, but this weekend I wanted to give one of the ideas a try. As you can see from the pictures, I succeeded :). I'm now a proud owner of 10 brand new juggling balls ;). As a side-effect I juggled a lot today. Tomorrow I'll attend the juggling training again. Maybe I'll find someone who can explain 4 ball juggling, if not I'll be tossing clubs around unsuccessfully for an hour as I did the last time.

Speaking of unsuccessfulness, I read a new book. It's called "secrets of the millionaire mind" and is basically a comparison between the mindset of middle class people, millionaires and those who will never have enough money.

One insight I probably wouldn't have stated the way the author does is that to be really good at something you have to suck badly at the beginning. After thinking that one though I have to admit that he is right. So if you think you suck at something, may it be financial issues, business, recreation, math, PE,  or what ever don't be frustrated it might as well be just the beginning of becoming an expert in that area. The key is to keep going and to follow the Ferengi's seventh rule of acquisition:

"Keep your ears open!" 

Take care.

Simon's Cat

I rather would like to have a dog but I love Simon's Cat. It great. The designer really knows how to observe cats. It's enlighting and really funny to watch the clips. Here is one of my favorites:



I'll do math now. Finals are comming up. :(

Birthday :)

Hiho,

first of all I'm really sorry for the lack of posts recently. I somehow got a little behind schedule with a lot of things and goals I have. Since today is my birthday I don't want to list all the stuff I didn't finish or the aspects that didn't turn out the way I wanted them etc. I started today with a great breakfast and enjoyed the day. Unfortunately my exams are coming up soon so I also "enjoyed" wonderful textbooks about analysis of variance and other lovely topics which still have to find a nice and comfortable place in my brain. I feel I'm getting closer to achieve that. Now I'll take a break and play around with my gifts ;). 


See U.

About being home

It's been a while since I wrote something. Well it's summer thus I'm enjoying the sun and of course the great weather. Due to the series of birthdays  I also cannot show you most pictures of the creative projects I'm working on but soon (in September) everything will be back to normal :).

We had been in Sweden but we came back on Sunday. Until today we yet have things to unpack from the trip. The time we spent in Sweden was as usually very realxing and inspiring. We successfully made a canoe trip and unsuccessfully fished :). I'll write more about that soon.
I started to knit a summer sweater and I'm nearly done with that.

I hope you are enjoying your summertime as well.
Take care.

Yummy Part 2 ;)

Last year I planted some new strawberry plants and this year I'm blessed with lots of big strawberries. Tomorrow we will have semolina pudding with strawberries but there are manny left for other cooking adventures.

To adapt the blog to the upcoming summer season I changed the theme a bit. A big big thank you goes to the developers of the blog software. They did an amazing job! Changing themes is much easier now and it looks great. :)

Take care and enjoy the sun!

Reset

It's good to reset your mindset once in a while. I encountered the fact that one of the few constants in my life is in deed change. Whether it is the fact that your workout schedule does not guarantee the promised results, a new thesis to be considered, or a close person reacting odd, suchlike events always make me think.

So that's what I did for the past days: thinking. I'm sorry for not posting anything but I didn't want to share unfinished thoughts that are not balanced at all. I am investing my spare time in the following parts at the moment:

• the art of diplomacy, or in other words everything that has to do with public speaking, how to give feedback etc.
• my garden. It is instant gratification and the idea to pull out the wild blackberry plants including their roots might actually work
• psychology and related topics
• running, today I ran the longest track ever (from the garbage cans to Jesus ;), don't ask I have to take pictures for an explanation)

Enjoy the nice weather and as soon as I finished the thinking part I might post some creative stuff again.

Cheers Me.
