Today I read on yahoo news the article about the Norway’s Princess, Maertha Louise, that made me chuckle and shake my head in disbelief… And was she right in saying the following last Saturday on the Norwegian public service television NRK: ” I’m glad I wasn’t born 200 years ago, because I would surely have been burned at the stake long ago,” ?

I have never been able to understand why people are so judgmental, and looking for things to disapprove of? And why do we believe that we have the right to discuss, and judge, and above all to disapprove of the choices of someone’s beliefs? Especially if it a public figure, or a star, or a head of the state, and here, the 4th child of the Norway’s King?

It doesn’t really matter here, but I feel such a deep admiration for this woman, for this Princess, and her choices! To go on and do what she beliefs to be her path in this lifetime, and go ahead with the opening of this particular school. Notwithstanding the disapproval of most of Norway’s people, or shall I call them, the masses, and, or the populace? And I find the way of how she has been treated by the news agencies, and newspapers, and writers, or journalist, shameful and scandalous. Why have these people done this, and why have they been able to manipulate people’s point of view by publishing their opinions in the matter? Who’s hidden agenda was it? And why?

Talk to you soon, and have a great week ahead

Just when weekend is about to start, I read about the Canadian woman and her rare identical quadruplets. How amazing is this, huh? And of course, it will be a tough job for the parents to take care of the 4, however, all is good with mother and children, and it must be wonderful to have a big family all at once Here are some photos taken in the garden of a friend of mine today, and I am hoping that the mum of these 4 angels has gotten enough from family and friends Enjoy your weekend and talk to you soon

Today I read a very interesting article about Leptin, the hormone that has to do with how much we eat and feel hungry, thus, getting obese. Wouldn’t it be great, if the study was already ended, and the next step - the readily made cure against obesity already there to be purchased and used? Wishful thinking obviously, as it will take at least another year or two, before such a really available medicine will be available for people that are obese, and need a good cure to help them get in their normal body shape. The miracles still happen though, and I will tell you about such a miracle in my next post I this blog. Talk to you soon and enjoy your day

Have you ever wondered what happened between you two? And where has the love gone? Or, how come you don’t have the butterflies in your belly no more? Is it the boredom that comes with the years, or is the passion gone missing? And do you long to be desired like you were in the beginning of your love story? Have you considered trying a short and, save, but totally secret love affair? And do you think something of the kind could help you reviving your legitimate relationship? And is it worth the risk you’ll be taking? The risk of getting caught for having a secret love affair, and having your partner hurt? And not only that, but loosing him or her for that matter? I’d appreciate opinions of yours in regards. Take care and have a great day

Today I came across a very interesting article on Dr. Mercola’s website. But not so much the article itself as the answers and reactions given by readers took all of my attention. I never knew how powerful the combination of honey and cinnamon could be, and for so many health problems. I’ll copy one of the replies here, and be sure to print it out, and to start using the miracle cure, as what is better than natural products for a healthy long life?

Enjoy your day and talk to you soon

Imagine you have tried for a good while to achieve something. You have worked hard, and day after day you kept doing you best, and you kept doing it for a year. The day came that you lost the faith, and it became so cumbersome that you stopped trying, and stopped working on it.
Than the “looser, you’re a looser, and will always be a looser” voice inside your head, made his entrance again. And you remembered the voice of a teacher, that told you sometime ago, that just before achieving something you should be careful to not give up, as the results might be just around the next corner.
Now imagine the same story, but with the good ending. After all your hard work - you did achieve what you hoped for, and success is all yours! You have it, and you congratulate yourself with it, and receive the congratulations of others also. However the pleasure of the achievement is short lived.
So, don’t you wonder how come we get tired of yearning for better circumstances in our life, tired to have hopes for better this and better that, and when we have it, after a few hours, or at most, a day - we don’t even care about it anymore, and start hoping for something else? These is what troubles me, that we do so much to get something and when we finally have it - we don’t even care for it. The truth is - we are never satisfied, no matter how much we achieve, we keep hoping to achieve more, better, bigger, and we never seem to have enough. On one side our striving is commendable, but on the other side, it’s so stupid, as most of “stuff” and “things” that we are after, do not give the satisfaction we were hoping to achieve…Don’t you think?

Colorado Meteor, originally uploaded by Mr Geoff.

Probably most of you know that between last night and tonight we could see many meteors, or shooting stars. If of course the skies are clear where you reside, and I hope and pray they would be tonight, as rain is expected and there is not much chance that I will be able to see or make any photo…Sad, and I am really very sad about it. Not only because I will not be able to make a wish , but also because I am longing to be able to make a nice shot of the falling stars. See this wonderful picture that has been taken in the mountains of Colorado! Awesome, and all my compliments to the maker of it! Here in The Netherlands there is too much light around, and I will not be able to take such a beautiful one as he has, even if the skies are clear tonight, but why can’t we still make wishes Enjoy your Sunday night and wishing to all of you many, many shooting stars, and I will talk to you soon

To start the weekend on a good note I decided to place the following picture of one of my cats, called Mila, that I took a few hours ago Let me know what you think of it please, is she singing (miauwing), yawning, or getting sick? Hehehehe, I really couldn’t stop laughing after I saw this one on my computer . Have a great weekend and talk to you soon!

There is so much to tell about the ordeal the 5 Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian medic have endured while imprisoned in Libya for 8 years, however, Libya kept denying that they were tortured. Today I read on Al Jazeera that Kadaffi’s son has admitted that the nurses and medic were indeed tortured. This is such a shame, and it is more than scandalous that something of the kind is still happening these days, as well that they continue to deny that what was declared in interviews by the Palestinian medic is not correct. While I love traveling, and would like to visit and travel around the entire world, I would think several times before booking a trip to a country like Libya, or accept a job offer there. What is your view on this happening? Enjoy your weekend and will talk to you soon.

Sorry for the silence in the last few days but I had to take a break. Plenty of things happened in a very short time span and I couldn’t go on without clearing my thoughts first - by taking a break from my usual routine and do something radically different. Recently I received a wonderful pyrite crystal from Spain, which actually has 3 cubes of pyrite that have grown deformed, kind off. See the pictures as these speak for themselves. And if you would like to see the bigger version of these photos, and more, visit please my Flickr account. Whatever we try to change into our lives becomes more difficult, the longer the situation is left unchanged. Have a great end of the week tomorrow and I will talk to you soon.
