I finally had gas on Saturday afternoon...and I was able to heat myself..
However, I fear I have caught a severe cold...
All I have to do now is take care of myself to get rid of this severe cold... which still gives me a lot of pain in my back, lung area... and makes me cough.
Living this week in the cold hasn't helped my osteoarthritis either!!!
( I couldnt live at the North Pole!!! (laughs) ....)
I'm going to call the doc tomorrow...(don't count on weekends!!)
I was hoping to have this gas much sooner...but the lady on the line explained to me that delivery was done as orders were placed...whatever the quantity ordered... (even if your tank is empty!!! and it's in the cold)...For an urgent order, they come within 48 hours and you have a surplus of 400 Euros to pay...
We must believe that the number of orders was very high last week!!!!!!! (I would rather think that there were very few people in my area who needed gas!!! and making the trip for a single customer is too expensive for them)
My loss of fuel is already expensive enough to request urgent delivery: I lost half a tank of gas because of this vandal!!!
Now, I live with a padlocked gate, visitors must announce themselves by telephone..
The cost of energy in Belgium.... it's not a small thing....
But, let's talk about more pleasant things..
Today, March 1st, after a night of frost, we had a sunny afternoon!
One of my prunus is in flower, the purple crocuses are showing me their little heads...and two cranes have passed over my house....
...and the daisies are blooming in the lawns.
Happy March. Cannot wait till spring. Sick of being so cold. Need to see less snow and see a lot of Beautiful flowers and Bees. Take care and hang in there. God Bless you. :-)
Watch the Miracle of transformation as brown, dead winter becomes vibrant , living springtime, and know that your soul will thus bloom again.
The Gift is life itself~~everything that is born into this world and grows and strives to achieve its purpose for being here on this level of existence . Two Ways Wakan Tanka can be interpreted are "the large mystery" or "the great sacred". Either is enough to describe the essence of the sacredness of life, of all life. All of us , no matter who or what we are , are given the opportunity to participate to the fullest on the journey we are born into , to honor the gift and sacredness of life by finding and
fulfilling our purpose , and to do good and leave our world a better place in some some way.
Being at the present moment can increase your peace of mind. One example of a simple but extremely powerful relaxing technique is breathing exercises.
By focusing on your breathing when things are getting quite chaotic can aid you to be more attuned to the present.
If you are looking for more relaxing techniques that might work for you, you can also try activities such as going for a long walk, doing yoga, listening to music, writing and practicing meditation.
Finding Inner Peace Midst the New World
To find inner and true peace can be a challenge for more than one reason. Our society is more connected than ever before, but this connection doesn’t always provide the comfort that we crave.
We are constantly bombarded with news updates, social media posts, and instant messaging alerts which perpetuate our feelings of never being “good enough”. At the same time, it can be hard to step away from all of this noise because of how much work needs to get done.
Don't listen when your heart , worn and tired, tells you to give up. Don't give up! Your heart needs a rest and nourishment. In God , there is rest for all who are exhausted; in his promises there is enough food for the weary soul.

I can't do much : I am frozen:: I'm already 5 days without central heating: my central heating is gas and thugs sabotaged my gas tank....the heating engineer repaired the damage, but I am waiting for the delivery of new gas....
Much love

je ne sais pas faire grand chose ; je suis gelee..: ca fait 5 jours que je suis sans chauffage central : mon chauffage central est au gaz et des voyous m'ont saboté ma cuve de gaz....le chauffagiste a reparé les degâts, mais j'attends la livraison de nouveau gaz....
Péntek este van és vége a télnek. Holnapi nappal elkezdődik a meteorológiai tavasz. Nagyon vártuk már.
Kellemes estét és csodás hétvégét kívánok sok szeretettel.
Holnaptól nem leszek, a lányomékhoz utazom több napra. Jelentkezem, ha visszajöttem. Vigyázz magadra, vidám napokat! Ölelésem, Éva
"A csöndet szeretem, meg a virágot, Galambok közt, virágos szigeten békés családi kör az álmom. Derű és nyugalom, parányi házban... Az élet szép. Tenéked magyarázzam? Szeressük egymást! Isten arra rendelt."
