sad and tired

lately a few people publicly known were finished with living. anil ramdas whitney houston antonie kamerling these cases make me think a lot. life is not nice, often even being bad. you have to be positive, enjoy small moments of happyness and creativity. being finished with living is probably not seeing any humor and light, not seeing any aim you can reach. i always get happy by looking at beautifully designed things or made by hand products. and commonly known, being active will make you feel better.

hundred thousand me's

just finished reading Luigi Pirandello's one, no one and one hundred thousand. we are not one person, but too many different persons as everyone will see us differently. this filosophy drives the main person in the book to radically change his life. humourous but cold and dark too. subjectivity is dictator in life just like in Charles Dickens Bleak House, where application of the law always fails to be fair for everyone.

coffee grounds

coffee grounds can be used in many ways after you made a delicious cup of coffee of course. 5 of the reuses. 1. hand scrub: mix a spoonful of warm coffee grounds into your hands with some soap and scrub your hands soft and clean. your face and body will also like this exfoliant. it can even diminish cellulite. i love to wash myself in the morning with a mixture of sugar, coffee, olive oil and vanilla essential oil. you will not need any body lotion afterwards. 2. mulch: throw the coffee grounds at the trees and plants in your garden or at your balcony (especially a good food for acidloving plants. it contains a lot of nitrogen and other nutrients). 3. hand deodorizer: dry the coffee grounds to rub in your hands when they smell from preparing onions, fish etc. 4. insect repellant: ants do not like coffee grounds and also snails and slugs could be chased away. 5. dye: solve it in water and dye fabrics, paper or easter eggs with it.

hanging chair

seems wonderful to me, a beautiful hanging chair. but the beautiful hanging bubble chair is not cheap. the hammock hanging chairs are more within reach, but i prefer more a chair. wonder if i could make one myself. maybe i should begin with an old swing and an old chair. or use leftover wood like in this instructable:  paracord-laced-pallet-hanging-chair

love

just read Harry Potter and the deathly hallows for the second time. the power of love is a red thread throughout the whole series of Harry Potter books. remembering the power of love in every little dip of the day will bring a smile right away. Lenny Kravitz — Let Love Rule Love is gentle as a rose And love can conquer any war It's time to take a stand Brothers and sisters join hands We got to let love rule Let love rule We got to let love rule Let love rule Love transcends all space and time And love can make a little child smile Can't you see this won't go wrong But we got to be strong We can't do it alone We got to let love rule Let love rule We got to let love rule Let love rule
