What a New Year's Wish is this?

I am sure, this will be a question that comes to your mind, after reading this post.

Yes folks, I'm not at all the kind of writer that writes 'masterpieces', I just let my thought go their free rein and put them on virtual paper.
I also doubt if putting a question mark in a title is correct, perhaps it's not done.
So - I leave it up to you to define what this is.

Anyhow, it comes straight from my heart, and before going further, I want to wish you all a 'Happy New Year' with the hope that you will have many blessings in the year to come.

- I started the new year with running in the early morning, just after dawn.

I was whole alone on the road, it seemed as if everyone else was sleeping off his whirl from yesterday evening.

- I myself - had nothing to celebrate yesterday. I went early to bed, I only awoke '*around midnight' because of the noise of the fireworks here in the neighborhood.

*That was for me the right time to hug my dear Pipke's 'Golden heart'!

It brought me back to the time that she was still alive, then we took her indoors to prevent that she would become afraid for the popping fireworks.

That was the time for hugs and reassurance, such a happy time!

From those happy times I have one picture that's taken 'exactly', on this very day, twenty years ago.

New Year's day 1996! 
In the early morning. 

(As you can see: my sweet little girl could not appreciate to be 'dolled up' for the occasion! She shook it off as quick as possible.

She loved sobriety. She didn't like frills! Pure white was her favorite color. The material of her packing always had to be clean, soft and waterproof.)

However - I don't think that I will ever be able 'to celebrate' a New Year.

No! Celebrations - of what kind so ever - are no longer wasted on me.

Actually, the world wherein we live now, it makes me sad!

There's too much hunger for too many of us. Not 'the hunger' in the real sentence of the word, but - the kind of hunger where Mother Teresa once referred to!

For all who's hungry, I hope you will be fed today!

If not, *this message is intended to you.

Let this be your New Year's *resolution for the year 2016:

 let No-One be hungry again. 
*It is surely mine!

I wish you all the very best!

PS: for those who don't know it. 

Pipke's 'Golden heart' is the little urn with her ashes, in the shape of a heart.

A Dramatic Turn

Today, something dramatic happened in my life folks, something where I can't talk about openly on my blog.

Once I started both my blogs in good spirits with the aim to tell Pipke's life story but at the moment I lack the courage to really go on. I'm totally collapsed and I really don't know if I will ever come back.

I've still published the previous post because I had written it already months ago and I had so much pleasure with it.

It was good to know that you were here and that you stopped by from time to time.

Actually after Pipke died, telling her story became a new aim in my life. It kept me going on, but unfortunately ... this time ... what happened became too much for me.

Thank you for your kind comments, for being a reader or a follower and a friend.

I don't know what the future will bring but at the moment I'm not able to go through with my blogs.

If I would come back then I will let you know.

I will let this blog to rest, together with my dear Pipke, the love of my life!

Remember!

Life is full of beauty.

Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.

Smell the rain, and feel the wind.

Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

Be happy!

I wish you all the best and take care.

Black Hole!

Sorry for my absence folks, but I encountered that black hole where I was so afraid for.

Believe me, it was very dark down there!

I'm still fighting to come back, and to stay at the surface.

I will come back as soon as I'm feeling better!

Thanks for your patience.

I hope to see you all again then.
