Das einzig Bestaendige ist der Wandel -The only continual is the change

Letzte Nacht war es endlich endlich endlich mal etwas kühler, als all die hitzigen Nächte bevor, das hat mir gut getan. Heute Nachmittag nun hat es geregnet, so ein plötzliches Sommergewitter. Vor vielen Jahren, als ich mit meiner Familie und dem Rad quer durch Holland radelte, sind wir einmal von so einem Regen überrascht worden. Ich erinnere mich, es hat uns richtigen Spaß gemacht bis auf die Haut nass zu werden, denn wir hätten es nicht verhindern können.
Finally, finally, finally, the last night it was a little chiller sometimes than all nights before, this has been good for me. This afternoon now it has been raining, according to a sudden summer thunderstorm. Many years ago when I cycled with my family and the wheel straight through Holland we have been surprised once by such a rain. I remember that, it has done to us right fun up to the skin to become wet, because we could not have prevented it.

This is a photo, my sleeping Sarah, on this vacation.

Heute sahs ich im Auto nach dem ich zuvor lange mit Sarah, meiner Tochter und Negrita, meiner Hündin, unter einem Schattenspendenden Baum gesessen hatte.
Wieder zu Hause musste ich ein wenig surfen und fand dies:
Today I'm in my car after I takt time with Sarah, my daughter and Negrita, my dog, under a shade-donating tree. Again at home I had to surf a little and found this:
Strategies to keep my muse not only alive, but alert by Mary Stoudt
1. provide plenty of time to do art. The art activities get scheduled first.
2. am a gleaner. It delights me to find mundane objects and transform them.
3. work at avoiding dullards, and search for people with an open refreshing approach to life; this takes a bit of time, but it's worth it.
4. read constantly.
5. make lists- for phone, e-mail, art tasks, mixed lists etc.
6. work on several art pieces at a time. Doing that helps me to look at each piece with a fresh eye, and makes it easier to evaluate what comes next.
7. try every art medium that comes my way.
8. do small but mighty art while waiting for the big masterpiece to come along.
9. refresh my space by constantly by changing the walls and decor.
10. store my art supplies in an easily accessible way.
