Why don´t you...? 9

- take time to wonder more?
Most constructive occupation, I can tell you. best done while doing some mechanical movements, like peeling potatoes, weeding the garden or vacuumcleaning ( yes, it works!)
So...

- wonder what your parents really think or thought, cherished and wanted from their lives?
The great unknown. I wonder really sometimes, if we know our parents in reality? Unfortunately my father is long dead; I would have loved to know him better. Parents do have a hidden life of their own and when we, often very late or only after their death, find out some details we did never guess, we are shaken in our deepest hearts. But there it is. Everybody has his own little garden in his heart.

-  wonder about your expectations in life?
Any reason to think to have a right to something? Have you got what you wanted? Or does it transpire that expectations are a gift from the bad fairy godmother? Or are they not...? But then, were would we be, without our beloved expectations in life...

- wonder about the beauty you see everyday in front of you, for free?
I know, I repeat myself here - but it is worth to drum it out to you there: Cherish beauty, be aware of it and take time to take it in. It is so important!

- wonder why people like and sometimes even love you?
When you are toldso and you are far from being perfect, you start to wonder. Until you find out, that, inspite of being the one you are, there are always people who like you the way you are. Remember Bridgets Jones´ diary, where lovely and maladroite Mr Darcy tells messy Bridget, that he just likes her the way she is? Who of you did not have a melancholic second???
