Ballade vir ‘n enkeling

I recently read a book in Afrikaans that I really loved. It was one of those books that was just impossible to put down. I make a point of alternating the language of the books I read.

Me being an eternal romantic, I really wanted to share this with you. Apologies in advance if the translation is not perfect. Also this was not a romantic book, but one about a guy that went missing and how the search for him life tangles, murder, revenge, etc. So here goes:

“What do you love about me, she asked him. ‘Your feet, specially without shoes, when you lift it shyly against the other while you stand.. Your hands when your randomly play with your fingers… your hair that always smell like fresh apples. Your lips that almost never wear lipstick.. purely because it doesn’t need it and when I kiss it doesn’t taste fake.’ He touches her ear with his lips and whispers.. ‘and your ears, because you always hear what I say and know that I mean it’

I think the last part was what really hit me. I think everyone wants to be heard, but it’s special when someone you love really hears what you have to say.

On another note, I was looking for a scene to take my next picture when I read in Caity Tobias‘ blog about the {Imeka} mainstore sim called Apple Island. Nati Williams sure did a great job with decorating and I just had to take a pic there.

I’m wearing a dress from Valentina E, shoes from REIGN and hair from Besom.

Together

Look around
There’s no one but you and me
Right here and now
The way it was meant to be
There’s a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything that’s in our way
We’re better than alright

But first.. let me take a selfie

I am making the most of my Easter weekend, and enjoying it so much. One of the things I have been doing is permitting myself some luxuries, like scrolling through Flickr while I lay all snuggley in bed. But I had to get up as the sun was out for the first time in weeks, so I took the opportunity to take Oliver (the pooch) for a run. He was feeling a little frustrated by being inside day in and day out. The feeling of sun shining on my face was so revitalizing.

With both of us totally content and vitamin D loaded, I logged in to have a browse though all the current events, and man.. there are many. I ended up at The Theme Park and loved the decor, so yes, you guessed it.. I had to take a selfie. This cute pose is one of six in the pack and it is available that The Pose FairGo check it out!

It’s about the width, not the length.

I don’t want to get to the end of my life
and find that I lived just the length of it.
I want to have lived the width of it as well.
~Diane Ackerman

The past months, I have been catching myself complaining that I just don’t have enough hours in my day. That if I had more free time I would not be Jack of all Trades, Master of None, but actually be a master of something! Then I also realized that when I do have free time, I don’t use it productively, hence not mastering anything anyway. So maybe I must just change my attitude and not look at what still needs to be done as a negative, but as an opportunity to enjoy the ride.

So to this end, I have enrolled in another course to improve my Photoshop skills,  bought more English books to read and lean the language.  I planned three weekends away for the year. Invited more people to my friends lists, RL and SL. Applied for another job and re-looked at my exercise regime. Yoga here I come.. soon I’ll be able to reach my ears with my toes (not sure if I’ll break something) and I’m planning on being a very happy busy bee.. who cares about being a master! I’m going to live my life in the width and have fun along the way.
