A Thought For Every Day Since Tomorrow Never Comes.

True happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependance upon the future .

A Christmas Reality Check

Among all the lights and over indulgence ( which we regret come the New Year ) are many who are without . Minus family ,a place to live or work. Some may have chosen  this style, many haven't.                 The financial crash of some years back is still with us taking it's toll.   Recently in Copenhagen I noted how the undergrounds lacked seating .
Here in Berlin the BVG provide such and last night as I made my way home I came across some who found it akin to the Ritz. I've no idea who these people are but I pray for better times in their lives.

Rejoice ,Rejoice. Again Let Us Rejoice

On Saturday/ Sunday the 21st -22nd December the winter solstice was celebrated .
It marks the onset of winter with the shortest day and I always get a buzz from this festival . It really is a time for celebration and rejoicing ...Why ?
a) the fourth Advent  b) nearer still to a New Year c) each day after these dates is a tiny bit longer in terms of daylight. Now if this isn't cause for celebration I don't know what is. An enjoyable weekend was had :- two new snow domes, a marvellous jazz brunch and much more.Take note each day of the daylight and rejoice .

First Advent in Berlin

Just a savour of the first Sunday in Advent when drizzle and grey skies failed to dampen festive spirits. Early next week I'll post a second Advent Sunday video  which will could have a different look to it.... Meanwhile a happy week to all .

November In Berlin

A little video showing just how lovely Berlin is in November and that the Halloween Vampire was sent packing ....( until next year ) .
Berlin is such a city that no matter what the season it has much to see , experience and enjoy. The cold weather is acceptable as the transport service is frequent , warm and round the clock .  

A Vampire Who Got The Date Mixed .

The missing vampire costume was found and even though it was 1 November a bit of fun had to be . The make up looks dreadful and voice more akin to a witch but none the less it brought about laughter, which as we know is the best medicine .Only good side effects and these can & do ,work wonders .

Happy Halloween From Berlin

YouTube = Google and Blogspot = Google so, let's include all and ensure that the final day in October,  All Hallows ' 'Halloween'' be fun.
The daily news is constantly awash with political spectres , misery and evil .
Best switch off and indulge in  comedy masquerade and enjoyment. This crazy little video came about due to a wager with a fellow YouTuber . I was to have been a Vampire having bought a Vampire costume in Belfast last year.  ( do not ask me why )   Could I find it ? No.
Thus back to the drawing board starting  from scratch. No the cat didn't have fleas .
