Introduction
something, but to be someone."
September 2008
How the time fly past - here we are in September 2008 -
I am already 2 years in Spain and still loving it - enjoying
every sunny and beautiful day of my life.
Therefore I want to share some impression of Spain today

"Wir gewinnen unendlich Kraft und Energie durch Liebe, nicht Liebe, weil wir sie bekommen, weil sie uns ein anderer gibt, sondern Liebe, die wir fühlen, die wir in uns selbst erleben, als ein Geschenk des Lebens. Liebe zu erwarten oder zu erhoffen bringt das eigene Ego ins Spiel. Zu lieben ist eine ganz andere Ebene: Man liebt, weil es glücklich macht zu lieben.
Thought for the day:
"Es un error vivir el presente como si sólo fuera el prefacio de la bella novela de porvenir. El presente se ha de usar y gozar." Noel Clarasó
"Es ist ein Fehler die Gegenwart zu leben, als wäre sie das Vorwort zu einem schönen Roman der Zukunft. Die Gegenwart muss genutzt und genossen werden."
Noel Clarasó, spanisher autor (1905-1985)
February 2008
The new year has begun. Lots of new ideas and new hopes. I started to sort out
everything to do with my networking - keeping only those that makes it worth the time I invest - it kept me busy.
End January/February we have the almond trees in full bloom. It is a spectacular sight ...the whiteness of the almond blossoms against the deep blue sky and in the background the shadow of ocean a deeper shade of blue...all this embracing you with a lovely sweet smell - this is when one realizes what life is all about - this is what quality life means to me...not designer jeans, the latest gimmicky wrist-watch or whatever...no, being able to walk with your feet in the soft sand, hearing the murmur of the waves and knowing you are in the right place at the right time. I thoroughly enjoy life in Spain.
I will add some pictures of the almond trees...here is something I copied from a
local weekly magazine:
Till soon again, keep healthy, keep happy and be yourself!
October 2006 - October 2007
It has been a year since I moved to Spain. It has also been a very busy and moving year since I am here. After we sold the Restaurant we moved to Baladrar, which is a small village between Calpe and Moraira. I absolutely love the garden and the vegetation - it is a song of beauty to wake up in the morning with blue sky and sunshine and the multi-colored flowers greeting you. Some days when I drive the winding beach road - I am filled with so much content and happiness - that I almost think I am only dreaming. I have come home.
On the 5th October I lost my dear Dad - I will never hear his voice again - but will forever carry his love in my heart. I am very thankful for parents that loved me and made me the person I am.
I hope you enjoy some of my pictures and recommended reading - please contact me with any info or questions.
