During a rare dinner for just the two of us today, my husband and I talked about success and happiness. The two often have very little to do with each other, and not all that rarely, life asks you to choose between them. We both agreed that, for us, happiness matters more than success. My husband started listing the things that make him happy, and suddenly I found myself in tears. That has been happening to me more often lately, when someone unexpectedly touches something deep inside me and, for a moment, it feels like they’ve put words to something I’ve been searching for all along 🤍 #happiness #foodstr

Just over two months ago, I thought Tammo only had a very short time left. Thanks to his medication, he gradually got better. Today he’ll receive his final dose. Because it’s an autoimmune disease, another flare-up will come eventually. I just hope it’s a long, long time before that day arrives 🤍 #dogstr

Kulturelle Unterschiede in Beziehungen 🤍 Ich interessiere mich sehr für Beziehungen und finde es spannend, wie Menschen miteinander leben und wie es ihnen damit geht. In Beziehungen zwischen deutschen Männern und asiatischen Frauen hört man von Seiten der Männer immer wieder, dass sie an ihren Frauen schätzen, dass sie herzlich sind und sich (fast mütterlich) um sie kümmern. Die Frage, die ich mir dabei immer stelle ist, ob vietnamesische/thailändische/etc. Frauen sich darin tatsächlich von den deutschen Frauen unterscheiden, und ob das genetisch oder soziokulturell bedingt ist. Und es würde mich interessieren, ob die Frauen dabei ganz sie selbst sind oder versuchen Erwartungen zu erfüllen, die sie anerzogen bekommen haben. Sprich, ob sie glücklich sind in ihren Beziehungen. #love #psychology

Orange has never really been my colour. But this orange hawkweed, with its blooms that close in the evening, has completely won me over 🤍🧡 #flowerstr

Rainy #GM 🤍

A lovely afternoon at the lake with just two of the kids. It never stops amazing me how different it feels to be out and about with one, two, or all three children 🤍 #kidstr #lakestr #mumlife

I love my job 🤍 #horsestr #proofofwork #hooftrimming #hoofofwork

Grazing horses ASMR for you 🤍 #horsestr

#GM Sunshine 🤍

My son and I have very different energy levels. As much as I love him and am fascinated by his endless liveliness, I often find spending time with him exhausting. I catch myself wanting to retreat just to recharge. To balance that, I try to intentionally spend time with him each day when I know I have enough energy to be fully present. Today we went into the woods together. He proudly read the information boards aloud to me, we made Himalayan balsam seed pods pop, and we tried to push each other off the path. Exactly his kind of fun. It was really, really lovely 🤍 #kidstr

This weekend I met your German kindred spirit @Yarnlady 🧶 She told me she has so much yarn that her husband has started teasing her about it, so she loves crocheting things and giving them away. Like this bone she made for my dog 🤍

Ein paar Eindrücke für euch von der #ZitadelleUckermark. Es war so schön, Teil dieses wundervollen Festes zu sein 🤍 #zitadelle #bitcoin #grownostr @zitadelleuckermark

#GM As wonderful as it was, it’s also nice to be back among the horses again 🤍

Es waren vier aufregende und bereichernde Tage auf der Zitadelle Uckermark. Es war so schön, bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, viele sympathische neue Begegnungen zu machen und Nostr Freunde persönlich kennenzulernen (einige habe ich verlinkt, aber es ist bestimmt unvollständig 🙈) Jetzt muss ich erstmal die vielen Eindrücke verarbeiten. Aber eines kann ich schon sagen, wir sind sehr gerne nächstes Jahr wieder dabei 🤍 #zitadelleuckermark #zitadelle #nostr #grownostr #bitcoin @zitadelleuckermark @npub1yynt...23ds @npub1kj95...w4au @npub1emh5...qca5 @npub1chtx...f7kg @npub1aezc...ysa2 @Too Bit To Fail @Gigi @npub1fl5k...cq9a @npub1n9cn...fx2f

Our lovely camping neighbour crocheted a bone for Tammo yesterday, just because. How cool is that? He absolutely loves it. And so do I 🤍 #dogstr #zitadelleuckermark #zitadelle @zitadelleuckermark
