".. come fly, come fly away..!"

Lighter so far? I honestly think so!
My wish for 2012 was for it to be a little lighter and I'd say so far - so good!

I feel really good this sunny gorgeous day.
I'm still on a high after seeing my fantastic parents-in-law and getting some real life altering insights from them. To think a dinner with the in-laws can truly affect you and make you feel like you can fly?
Eh?!! Go figure, but it did.

There's something to be said for experience, for sure. Sharing experiences is a force of some magnitude and when I shared a few of my experiences in a work area that my father-in-law has a whole lot of experience in, his replies hit me like a fist in the gut.
He, the much accomplished man with a fab career, had the same analysis and experiences as I have and that, my friends, was almost mind blowing. A comfort in a way and a reason to really think, in another way.



Happenings after a dinner. In-laws occupied with an iPhone!


Dessert almost ready.


The Boy showing his grandparents some important stuff.




And yet some more stuff that's important! 


Gifts were presented: my mother-in-law's fab jams.



Doing it "My way"
I've come to learn that I must do things my way and be me. For there is no one else I can be.
As the words out of the series "West Wing":
-Let Bartlet be Bartlet!
:-)

I think Frank Sinatra sings it so well in "My way":


"...
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, 
when I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt, 
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall, I did it my way.
....
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not him self, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels, 
The record shows, I took the blows and did it my way!
..."







And as if the sun wanted to keep my great spirits and moods good company, here are a few rays of sun for you, compliments of a cold Scandinavia, enjoy:


It's not certain that one notices rays of light. 
When I finally saw this I was astounded by the shadow it cast!


Playing with the curtains...


Dear sweet sun, please do stay!


We're all eating it up eagerly!




Still out of reach but at the same time, still lurking....


Spring is out there - it's just playing some hide and seek with us!!






This is soul food.


And I'm feeling victorious, downright invincible!




The grass is still green and isn't that quite the perk?







The photographer. Happy to see a blue sky!







It is pure eye candy, to me.







Hoping and thinking we all might have kick started the week, I hereby wish a continued happy week!
It's not too late to make the week happy, blissful and joyous and if you can't do that - make some Fab Moments count.

Today the first day of the last winter month starts here. I think we have four winter months and this is the last one. Charged and ready hence...

See you Friday - a day we all know rocks kinda hard!

The best is yet to come!

Carefree daysThe weekends are the carefree days and the time for doing whatever we want!
Said and done: the concert we had planned on going to, with The Boy, to see his idol was cancelled. The Boy felt like "just being at home having time to play and just be" so that's what we did.
The Boy - and we - figured that the idol will give more concerts and it felt not only like the mature thing to do, it felt like the right thing to do.

Off for cosy times downtown...




The weather was chill-friendly!


Hubs finally had time to look for clothes and I helped out
(yeah The Boy played with the camera while waiting!).




The Boy wanted to "fika" (yeah: have coffee/coke and cookies/cake) at our favorite place.
We obliged.


I captured what might have been the last fika outside, in the sun.


And how I enjoy enojoying the small things!!



[switching between PC and Mac makes texts and pics jump. Sorry!]

AddictiveThis "new" thing is darn addictive, as I had hoped and counted on that it should be. The new thing, to me, is having the focus 100% on my private time, when I'm not at work.
Since I'm the kind of person who is really active, believe that what I work with is darn important to people and who wants to do my absolute best whenever I do something, being totally off duty, when off duty, is new.
I'm loving it.
I will never change it. Funny how things and perspectives can change!
Keyword here, of course being, FAMILY.
And that's addictive!!




I'm proud of being capable to notice butterflies!


I am loving these old fashioned coffee cups.

Father and son looking at each other with love.


Joking around!
It's pure medicine!!

A moment in time. I love my moments in time.
Small things...
Uh-oh, he dropped his precious goodie bag...


Noticing flowers growing under the stairs...


Now we're talkin': I found time for this.... fashion mag!




And the hubster worked on the fence = seventh heaven!
We were crazily, childishly happy, to be able to have lunch outside.


Bless him for his effort. He was very proud when he finished the project!




Beautiful Hollyhocks in their presumed last blooming.

A work of art!


:-)


Yeah, you know how I love looking in..!


Our boy still loves to play this way.


Enjoying Saturday dinner with the dearly loved ones.


The weekend kept us splendid company with its beauty and camlness.




So, life is good, family is swell and all is well.
I guess you could say that we're all in some kind of bloom, in a beautiful and blossomin phase where we feel a lot of love and are a lot in the moments that we live.

Still: I have a grand feeling that the best is yet to come!
That's what keeps me moving forward.

Can you believe it's already Wednesday? I wish you a very lovely second part of the week.
Tomorrow it's charge time, sweet charge time!
