julchen11: (Frodo reading)

Today – looking down (I’m actually sitting on my roof) – you should see the magic of the sun today. All yellow, pink and orange. What a Sunday. I think I’ll do some gardening today – yes, yes, Sam arrived *giggles* My favourite place of the world is the Shire I said yesterday.

The Shire is right here,  you’re joining me on my roof. Home is where the heart is it is said. That’s so true.  

 

Some people are dissatisfied with so many things– I would say they waste their time. You can discover DAILY something important, beautiful and lovely. The first bees are humming, this means we’ll have some fruits on our trees. Birds are chirping – there’s nothing to compare with.

Writing some words to a friend – notice: I am able to send them to a friend because there IS a friend.

Strolling though LJ land – discovering wonderful posts with lovingly written words, gorgeous pictures – leaving a comment, receiving little thanks and much much more.Could I ask for more?

 

No. My Shire is right here, I’m living in it.  And you are part of it! 

"The world is a rose; smell it and pass it to your friends."

I'm glad there are much roses I can give to my friends.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Julchen,
You can choose whether to live your life as an Optimist, or as a Pessimist...
In my humble opinion, it's the Pessimists of this World, who really miss out on so much !!

Us Optimists will always see the Good in everything, and thus enjoy Life so much better....
We are less prone to Depression, and we get things done !!
We are the ones who change what is wrong, instead of moaning about it, and that is a Good Thing !!

I'm glad you liked my post about FOTR, by the way ( come back for the next two installments through March !! )- it always makes me smile if I've given someone else a lift, with something I've posted !!!

Otherwise what's the point of LJ ?!!

Thank you, Wendy!
I'm a dreamer and I'm an optimist (most of the time).

"We are the ones who change what is wrong, instead of moaning about it, and that is a Good Thing !!"

Perfectly said! I totally agree.

And you - my dear - are an optimist, too ... and a wonderful friend!
You're brightening my day whenever I see you!

Have a nice day and now sleep sweet!

I'm grateful for your reminding us that we can realize we are living in our own Shire in each present moment!

And thanks for the roses! *hugs*

The rose speaks of love silently,
in a language known only to the heart.

Thank you, my dear, for your lovely words.
You are a part of MY Shire! *hugs you back*

Have you ever noticed
The brilliance of a smile?
A smile that’s meant for only you
Can make your day worthwhile.

Thank YOU, my dear, for making me smile :-)
*hugs you back very very tight*

I was listening to this song today and it reminded me of you, I hope you like it :)

Up on the Roof - The Drifters (http://www.sendspace.com/file/31z6k1)

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)

Everything is all right (up on the roof)

Mmm...I always try to find something to feel excited/happy about in each day, even if I'm feeling down in general. There IS a lot of beauty and joy to be found in the world...Happy Sunday! :D

I'm happy to be a part of your Shire. :)

I agree with your way of seeing things. We sometimes tend to forget little joys we experiment daily, too preoccupied looking for the absolute happiness. If we think about it, little joys are more numerous.
You and all the people I read on LJ are also part of my Shire!

What a lovely reminder to us all.

Thanks so much for reminding me that I can make my own shire - and all the joy and love that implies. You leave us with such beautiful words and sentiments - you bring me such hope and joy. Have a wonderful day in the garden - and say hi to Sam for me!!

Home is where the heart is! That's so true! We all can have a piece of Shire, something we love dearly and care for!

Have a wonderful Sunday you too, sweetie!

*lots of hugs*

p.s. Once again a very similar icon, LOL!

There are many blessings in life that we can miss entirely in all the rush. It's good to take a little time to look around us and appreciate them. Have a lovely day yourself, dear! : )

It's so true! I know that sometimes I tend to forget that, though. Thank you for the lovely reminder!

For you on your rooftop...He waits too...

If anyone's heart lived in the Shire, it's yours, Julchen. You carry it around with you, so wherever you are, there it is also.

And I'm so glad you've got that roof. Sitting on your roof reminds me of Frodo in fanfics, who is often seen sitting in the oak that grows over Bag End: you both get so much out of feeling connected to nature: up in the leaves, seeing the sky, smelling the grass, listening to the wind move through it. You are a pair!

It's a wonderful song and simply perfect for me.
Thank you my dear Jack! I'm glad to know you *hugs tight*

Yes, babe. Word to this. I hope your Sunday is a lovely as mine :-)

Me, too, my dear, me too! *hugs you tight*

Thank you, my dear shirebound !
To love what you do and feel that it matters--how could anything be more fun?
Have a wonderful day, sunshine!

Thank you, little one, for your lovely reply. It means a lot to me.
And yes, I said hi to Sam for you!

Aren't gardening people the happiest, friendliest, and most generous
people you know?
The soul that can speak with its eyes can also kiss with a gaze.

Lots of love
Julchen

Your mind is your best camera . . .
Go out and take some beautiful pictures.

Thank you, Mel, for being here.

The icon ... I guess we can't deny we are sisters :-)

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Thank you, Cali, for stopping by. Hopefully your day is as wonderful running as mine :-)

I've found this for you:
Do not even listen, simply wait.
Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
(Franz Kafka)

Open your eyes that you may see
The wonder that around you lies;
It will enrich your every day
And make you glad and kind and wise.
(Emma Boge Whisenand)

Thank you, my dear, for yuor lovely words.
I'm glad you're here.

*hugs you back*

My dear Shoe! This is so beautiful, Frodo is sitting on my roof-top ... I don't dare to breath. But I can see much much more ...
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Thank you ever so much. I miss you!

Date: 2007-03-11 10:34 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
You don't know what you're words mean to me. Thank you, dearest, thank you ever so much.
I'm bound to the Shire, I always was, I always will be.
Oh yes, there are some times I feel more and more connected to nature, to the beauty of the sky, to the beauty of world's smell.
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Albert Einstein said "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." I think he was right and I only took a little peek.

Sitting on my roof - you can't imagine how many times I'm just sitting, reading (fanfics) and thinking. About The Shire. About hobbits, most of all about Frodo (you know me too well).
Maybe we could have something in common :-)

Thank you again, my wonderful friend, for being part of my Shire.

Thank you, dearest. Your icon is soo beautiful, it reminds me on the Shire ... the party tree, the flowers ... very lovely.

Awww, I knew I was right to friend you. You might know me as [livejournal.com profile] blostma_braeth but here is where I rhapsodize. The world needs more active dreamers, heh.
Have a wonderful... week start! :)

That's soooo sweet, thank you, my dear! I'm very happy.

"The world needs more active dreamers..."

I think I met another dreamer :-)
Love your userinfo layout a lot! Your birthday is on June 1th like mine!
That's cool. I've friended you right back!

Have a gorgeous day, my dear!

That's lovely, Julchen. It's what you do when you meditate.
