Yes she said

A second mariage is the victory of hope against common sense.

like don vito said: "a man has to do what a man has to do"

It is much better now- he said

One of the kids recently said during a serious discussion: I feel much better now ... Amazing, don't you think so?

Was it that bad before or is it so much better today ?

Speeking for me, it is clear that it is much better today.

This shows once again that the world is in balance.

Autoloze zondag in Brussel . . .

This year, the Brussels-Capital Region will organize the sixth edition of its Mobility Week, in collaboration with the 19 Brussels' municipalities. Car Free Sunday, which will take place on September 23rd, will be the highlight of the week. That day, the inhabitants of Brussels will wake up in a city free of motorized traffic. No cars, no lorries, no motorbikes in any of the 19 municipalities, making thus more space for bikers, roller-bikers and pedestrians.

Rayan is one week old

A new star was born last week.

Of course not.

Life is not a destination, it's a journey.

Keep on driving. Roll down the window and feel the air rush through your hair. Turn up the music and let your spirit dance to the beat. See the beautiful scenery passing by.

Stop by the roadside to have a fresh beer, take the time for a Mourkezit , and whenever you can wee in the grass.

You get only one ride, so make the most of it.

Happy trails, Philippe

Perfect Sunday: Mood swings part II

Life is hard for a single father of 4 Children.
Woke up early and wrote some emails to people I love, worked on my blog, went into a research mode about mood swings and then was served breakfast in bed by my kids.

I'm peaking again ... :-)

mood swings

I've been confronted with huge mood swings latelly. Looking at what is available on the internet it seems that I might have a version of "bipolar disorder" that doesn't have full manic episodes and that I should definitely have my thyroid hormone checked ??

I love my friends, over the years they saw how one day there would be no end to happiness and the next day no reason to get out of bed.

In fact for this patient it's more about mood peaks and valleys than swings.

Santa

Santa is coming soon,

You better beware, 'zwarte piet' is with him ...

je weet dat je in 2006 leeft... ... ALS

1. Je per ongeluk je paswoord ingeeft in de microgolf-oven...

2. Je in geen jaren "patience" gespeeld hebt met echte kaarten...

3. Je een lijst hebt van 12 telefoonnummers voor een familie van drie personen...

4. Je een e-mail stuurt naar de persoon van het bureau naast het jouwe...

5. Je reden om geen contact te houden met bepaalde familie of vrienden is dat ze geen e-mail adressen hebben...

6. Je je eigen oprit oprijdt en dan met je gsm belt om te zien of er iemand binnen is om de boodschappen mee uit je auto te laden...

7. Elke reclame-spot op tv een website vermeldt onderaan het scherm...

8. Je huis verlaten zonder je gsm, die je de eerste 20, 30 of zelfs veertig jaar van je leven niet gehad hebt, is nu reden om in paniek te raken en als een gek terug naar huis te keren om het verrekte ding op te halen...

10. Je 's morgens opstaat en eerst online gaat alvorens koffie te zetten...

11. Je je hoofd schuin begint te houden als je glimlacht... : )

12. Dat je dit allemaal al knikkend en lachend leest...

13. Erger nog, je weet precies naar wie je deze mail gaat doorsturen...

14. Je zelfs te bezig bent om te merken dat er geen nummer 9 is op deze lijst....

15. Dat je zelfs terug gescrold bent om te checken of er inderdaad geen nummer 9 IS !

EN DAT JE NU MET JEZELF ZIT TE LACHEN....

ACCORDING TO MY ANSWERS, The political description that fits me best is...

CONSERVATIVE

CONSERVATIVES tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently
support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditionalvalues." They oppose excessive government control of business,
while endorsing government action to defend morality and the
traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong
military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market
economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.

SELF-CONTROL

Lao-tzu

"He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty."

Lao-tzu is reminding us that the mark of a truly strong person is his ability to control himself and his actions. Very often, when I seek to control others I do so because they cannot control myself, in a mistaken belief that controlling other will make up for lack of self-control.

I'm sorry Martin

INTEGRITY = Walk the talk

What is the one most important character trait to hold? We could debate thatfor a long time, but let me offer integrity as a very likely candidate.

Integrity is the measure of how close are the things we say we believe (bywords, in our thoughts, etc.) and what we show we believe through our actions. The integrity gap is the space between what we say we believe and what we showwe believe.Everybody falls into the gap sometimes. People who believe in the law, driveover the speed limit. People who think steeling is wrong will take things whenthey think nobody will miss them. People who believe we should leave somethingbehind for future generations still consume oodles of unnecessary items. We become happier when the integrity gap is small, because we are doing theright thing by our own standards.

What more should I do to narrow your integrity gap?
