Full packed day

An unusual day off today.

Waking up early - pretty early. I got up at 5:50am! That´s even earlier than on a working day. Am I getting old, I wonder?

Well, the reason why I got up so early was the start of my new blog. I was so excited to get it going. So maybe this threw me out of bed.
And I am pretty amazed how fast I got it going. Because I needed a title first and knowing from experience this could take me hours and costs me creativity! 
But today I did well! Two thoughts and the right title was there:

"Being like a Feather"

I love feathers! Feathers incarnate everything important for me:
- Feathers - significant in the Native American culture
- Feathers - the symbol for writing
- Feathers - the connection between heaven and earth 
- Feathers - my personal guide for years
- Feathers - an often used symbol with Highly Sensitivity 

So "Being like a Feather" appears to be the perfect title for my blog. I am really happy about it!

After that hurdle was taken I wrote my first blog. Happy with the outcome I published it right away and got ready for an early morning swim.

At exactly 8:47am I was at the beach. 
Diving into the crystal blue water, swimming in the calm sea, no people at the beach, the sun already shining hot, clear blue sky. 
Priceless!
I am so grateful for those moments!
Even after almost 7 years living in Malta I still honour those moments with all my heart. Every time I am at or in the sea I think back when I was still living in Austria, dreaming of a life abroad. I try to remember those days being on vacation and the last day arrived and I was so sad because I had to leave. I so wanted to live at the sea!
Now I AM living at the sea and even after almost seven years I never forget to thank universe for making my biggest heart dream come true.

I had a long and relaxing swim and a short sun bath afterward (just to get dry). Then it was time for having breakfast at one of my favourite restaurants. 
I haven´t been there since the start of the crisis. So it really was good to see the waiters again. Though it felt a bit awkward with all the "corona-changes" in the restaurant. I really hope we are back to normal soon. Because this still feels everything but normal ...

After a delicious breakfast I headed back home to get ready for an appointment with a friend. In the early afternoon we met for a short walk, a coffee and a long necessary chat. We haven´t seen each other for months.
Also something I still cherish with every fiber of my body: sitting in a café with an person from another country (Ukraine in that case) and chatting in English for hours! So incredible how my English skills improved and how speaking English has become so natural over the last years.

Finally I walked back home. Just stopped for a take away sushi on my way back home. 

Rarely I have such busy days.
Did I enjoy it?
Yes, I did. It only was filled with pleasant things and therefore I don´t feel exhausted at all. 

I love my life in Malta! 
I love summer in Malta!

And looking at days like today I honestly can say that this is the kind of life I wanna live. Maybe not always that busy but filled with things that do me good.

My today´s breakfast:  a big glass of water - in my fancy totem glass (I love it!) and a milk-shake made out of  *** 1 banana, a hand full of frozen sour cherries, linseeds and sesame, cinnamon and organic cacao powder, almond milk ***  Originally I wanted to get up pretty early on this my day off today and head to the beach in the morning.  I did get up at 5:30am but I absolutely didn´t feel like already beginning the day. I was grumpy and listless. So I went back to bed. Yes, it´s a pity to loose the chance of an early morning swim but I know myself pretty well. There is no need to force myself to do something I am not feeling like doing it. I would have dragged myself to the beach, I would have been angry with the people on the way there and I would be sitting at the sea with dark thoughts. For sure there is no need for that! Better to let the day unfold itself. And when I am not up to do anything more than eat my breakfast and write this blog .. than so be it! I ...

When Grandfather greeted me first ... (a HSP blog)

My year 2022 did start a bit untypical.  Well, on the second thought I have to admit it was completely predictable. As I was so excited for the New Year to start I tried to finish every open task during December. My goal for 2022 is to make it a "model-year". That´s why I allowed myself a last sloppy month in December. Means, I was eating completely unhealthy and I didn´t care about the money I spent or the packaging of stuff I bought.  The result was the predictable part of the story: On December 31st I was so tired and unwell I couldn´t prepare for "the Big Night" as I wished to do. I had a light but constant headache for the last couple of days - the result of too much sugar and chemical shit in my food and drinks. This headache and bad mood I carried over into the New Year. So it took me two days into the New Year to go cold turkey from all the shit I put into my mouth during the previous weeks. The reason why I feel so unwell when I eat unhealthy is all the wat...

Three Stones of Wisdom

  A few days ago I was reminded about my deep connection with the Native Americans. I was sitting in a restaurant at the sea, writing diary, when a group of young people gathered in front of the restaurant, exactly in front of me.  One of them, a young man, long black hair, dark eyes, long black eye lashes, caught my eyes. A NATIVE! - everything screamed inside of me. I starred at him, couldn´t look away. My heart was beating faster and I felt an excitement deep inside of me, which reminded me of how much the Native Americans mean to me. I told a friend about that encounter a couple of days later. "Are you sure it was a Native?" "I don´t care about if he was a real Native or not. He looked like one and I couldn´t stop starring. The important thing is how I felt about it." And then I told my friend about an exceptional meeting I had some years ago back in Austria ... There was this meditation evening in my friends place. Of course in one of the meditations my connect...
