The story: Truth to be told

Posted by Claudia Moser on 9:20 PM in GBE2, Truth

Truth to be told I am blessed! Today I am feeling very grateful, so full of energy, mentally strong after a lovely holiday (7 full days spend with my darling husband) and ready to enjoy the winter holiday (probably while ignoring the heavy rain and grey weather covering Germany for the next days).

And now you migh wonder why do I feel blessed?

Some thoughts come into my mind:

- I'm healthy (well the cough and throat pain I just consider as a 'gift' given by the air conditioning in the plane)
- I'm loved and the feeling is present each second (due to Peter, mom, family, friends ...)
- I love and this ability is simply wonderful
- I can work and earn my own money
- I am travelling more than the average person which gives me the opportunity to experience so many new places and people (even if for some this seems tiresome!)
- I am planning to bake many many cookies for Christmas holiday and also to give as presents (please don't tell my friends OK?) together with my friend Johanna and her two lovely children
- I enjoy the comforting atmosphere at home, while Peter is working in the background and I simply write
- and yes I am able to write!

Truth to be told I am lucky right?

Happy Sunday, I'm off to enjoy my tea with lemon and honey. Life is good!

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."

I love that you feel so lucky! Me, too and I think waking up on top of the grass (or snow, as the case may be) is a great thing! ♥ so glad you're back. And that's the truth!
