Lovely Anita and for Easter we wish you eternal peace. Those words make us smile. To be so blessed, has to be the loveliest thing on this planet. Happy Easter to you. Have a lovely holiday and so good to see you here. Have a super Saturday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
There is no place I'd rather be....I want to move right into your heart.
ReplyDeleteLoving that room of white with that settee, and that first room of cozy woods is soulfully moving.
As for the paintings, I see the darkness is soulfully connected and the dove is releasing it.
This Easter's prayer is for you, that peace and beauty is all around you.
Love,

Dearest Anita,
ReplyDeleteI am happy to read that you found inner peace. I try to find it too, but it's still difficult. Perhaps I need more time. The garden is a place where I can find it, but somehow I always invite friends and family whenever I am there :-) Hopefully this summer I will be able to spend more time there on my own.
You asked about my allotment garden. It's on the outskirts of Rotterdam, on an allotment complex dating back to the 1930s. Because it's old, it has some amazing trees! I have an old pine tree in my garden, which is beautiful and always full of birds. I rent the garden from the municipality of Rotterdam, but we bought the little garden house. Whenever I cycle to the garden, it feels like going on holiday :-) I have organised an Easter brunch in the garden tomorrow morning, with my daughters and my parents. I am looking forward to it very much!
Hope you and your family will have a lovely Easter too!

Oh Anita, what a breathtaking post........that´s so you.........thank you so much!!!!! I´m so in love with this great images and all your lovely thoughts! You always fill my heart with so much joy! HAPPY EASTER my dear friend and have a wonderful and peaceful weekend,

Anita,
ReplyDeleteI needed this post today. I have been struggling lately and my search for inner peace, or frankly any peace lately has been like fighting a war.
My thoughts ANC prayers are with you my friend at the holiest time of the year.

Happy Easter to you, Anita! Oh but I have many posts to catch up on. I hope life is reordering itself in such a way that makes you smile with gratitude. I am back from Paris and then the half marathon and have some catching up to do on my own blog too. A beautiful weekend to you!

Oh and that serene white room with the grey settee and the combined pillow textures on the sofa. Now that is a room to sit and reflect experience and realize inner peace.
ReplyDeleteLater Anita my amazing friend who always inspires.
XOXO,

Sweet friend-this post reflects life, even in the slight disarrays and disruptions that happen to us all. The image of the woman holding tight to the horse speaks to me. We hold on tight and we ride it out. I do hope, my dear, that you are feeling better by now. I know it's been a process and I'm hoping and praying for healthy reports. I've said it before, you are a gift to this community. Be well and it's wonderful to see this glorious post. Happy Easter my friend.

Dearest Anita, just saw your post popping up as i posted mine - so funny! Happy easter dear friend, i wish you SUNSHINE along with many colored eggs and above all LOVE - which i know you spread so generously! Thanks for being such a great and uplifting friend. My gentler forces guide us through spring and flowers sprinkle our way! Have a lovely time and enjoy this special celebration, many hugs, M.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita,
ReplyDeleteBeing under the weather grants us a period of calm and inner reflection; a time when we climb off the helter skelter of life. I am quite certain you will come out of this spell of physical tiredness feeling more serene and with a sharper perception on what is important in your beautiful life.
Happy Easter to you both. I wish you joy, peace and enlightment.
I cannot wait to read more of your poetry.
Stephanie
Anita, so glad you popped up. Wishing you a very Blessed Easter!!!
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful! I feel the peace of God as I listen to the music and read your words of hope.
ReplyDeleteHello Dearest!
ReplyDeleteWhat loveliness and peace I find here.
Today we are going to wash the dogs (big job) and I need to buy and prepare food for our Easter dinner tomorrow.
But guess what I'm doing, a last minute table centerpiece and door basket.
Sometimes one must go with ones inspiration and ignore reality.
Food? You wanted food to eat? But look at my decorations!
TeeeeHeeeee....
Happy Easter and Happy Birthday week, my sister in glitter!!!

Hello Anita:
ReplyDeleteThis is a thoughtfully written, beautifully illustrated post which, in the words you use and the images you include, provokes one's own thoughts and, in so doing, touches on the true meaning of Eastertide.
Kellemes húsvéti únnepeket.
Dearest Anita...I'm back!...I'm in the right place today I hope?...It must have been the excitement of Easter and all the comings and goings here that made me have a dizzy turn and visit your old post so I've come back to say hApPy eAsteR to you and your family again!...Hope you're enjoying a wonderful break full of all good things...x

fascination ....... for words is one of the things we share dear friend . I know you wish for loyalty here on blogger . It makes you sad when people disappear . Do not be sad my friend . there will always be the ones who stay .
ReplyDeleteLife goes on. You too are making changes ..... For the best ! More time for your poetry .......
Your birthday is coming soon my friend . How do you celebrate your birthday this year ?

SO nice to see you back and spreading your words and images. I am going through life-changing events -- realize how fragile we are and feeling my own mortality more acutely. Enjoy while you can. Find beauty and embrace it.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your magical words back. You have a gift Anita. Change is good and we all enbrace it. I hope your Easter was filled with blessings. Hugs, Linda

Thank you sweet Anita! Man! That post spoke to me. LIFE just by itself is an interruption in our daily agenda, that is indeed intertwined in LIFE. You said it beautifully without virtual complaint. I'm yet to do a new 'thrift outfit' post, but my polyvore versions are on the low - end scale for, dang sure, which still in the thrift pocket, basket or category. But is it difficult to do life when real life gets in the way; ie. cancer and it's treatments. How is your health this day? Better, I sure hope! May God's blessing help you and heal you! He is the ultimate healer after all. ♥, Renae
ReplyDeleteSuch a tender and sweet voice your in posts. They feel like gifts of the moment, moment to stop and cherish life. People need this. Our lives are so pressed in all directions. To stop and slow down causes reflection on what is important. Hope your Easter was a joyful day!
ReplyDeleteblue hue wonderland
We never know that strength within us until we must draw upon it due to life's circumstance. I've been there too, many times. I am glad you have that peace and might, bless your heart .
ReplyDeleteSweet Anita, wishing you well and happy happiest days! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteI can feel the strength within you from your words and the images you chose. You never fail to make me pause, to remind me of what's important and to marvel at the woman you are.
Love to you, sweet lady. xoox
Dear Anita, a wonderful post, as always, your words inspire so many of us, and are always thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteEach spring, with the onset of blooming flowers, and warm breezes, I am refreshed in spirit as well. It is almost a dormant feeling for me, when winter has us in its cold grasp. Now I am full of new ideas, and hope. Your post encourages many of us to seek change, embrace the new, and still cherish the old. Thank you for your lovely words. I hope you had a blessed Easter. xoxox Christel
I'm late, dear Anita..
ReplyDeleteBut I still wish you all the blessings of Easter time and I thank you for always inspiring us all to be and see all that is beautiful all around us.....

ReplyDeleteIt's been so so long since we've been in touch ... don't know how that happened. I was doing a post today about ballet and thought of you - and suddenly realized that I haven't heard from you in ages!
Hope your life isn't truly dérangée - and if it is, that it's as beautifully dérangée as the photo you posted!
Do look forward to hearing from you again and knowing what is new and lovely and exciting and peaceful in your life!

hope Easter was divine
for you!
Such a wonderful post Anita. As always I love to visit with you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes! I can definitely relate to what you are saying. There are lots of things that slow me down, not only lately, but it seems like all the time. But they are good. I have to slow down for my little children-- which is lovely, and I have to slow my progress sometimes to not overtax my body or budget. Some of these slow-downs keep me from making huge mistakes, as I can be impetuous, and as you've said-- they do make me reflect on the Power within. I love that the most.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Easter was wonderful, and that your newest ventures are all doing well.
love,
Keri

Dearest Anita, have been thinking of you too and was so happy to see you come visit today! We got news from the Telecommunication service so MAYBE next week i'll be online normally - we'll see. I so hope we can get our Skype session going in time. When must the article be finished? So good to hear you got warmer weather now and spring i already waiting behind the door, so to say. Here, the air smells like lilac now and i love it, although it's rainy and not so warm today. Glad you like my doggie art - somehow, i really gets me going right now. I just did an A-Z poster of dogbreeds - will post about it soon ;) Have a sweet saturday. Hope you get well soon. Is the nausea better already? Love, M.

Anita, thanks for the comment. Did you see how upset the owner was? He was so mad that all the horses that start in the Derby and Preakness, then the last Belmont race is 1 1/2. He said the horses are tired and that only the ones in the orig race should be allowed to Run. I agree he has a point. Those horses have been working hard and then they sneak in some fresh blood, it's not fair.
ReplyDeleteO how I love this last photo of this post. This room gives me such peace. I need to get some pale grey velvet pillows.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to come by and say hi and wish you a most beautiful Summer holiday. May you find the restoration needed after a long year of hard work. May the light of His countenance shine upon you and give you peace. xxo Kerrie
Moved to tears. One of the most beautiful posts I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I am now nearing the end of my life and I know my years..perhaps days are numbered. I feel it. I thought I would mind when these day began to arrive..but you sort of sink into it and accept. This was ...something I want to go through again. Save. Share.
