So Much to be Thankful for this Holiday Season

A peek in the life of an artist.

Four Generations of Women
with the birth of Princess Sofia, October 5th.

On this picture
My Mom ("Overgroot Bootje"), Moi ("Oma Olle") my daughter (Mommy) and then of course the highlight of our lives:
Princess Sofia Charlotte


And perhaps during the holiday season more than any other time
I'm reminded of what’s really important:
FAMILY and HEALTH!


I’d like to take the opportunity to wish you and your families
a safe, happy and prosperous 2011.


For Yve Duteil's song
please click on arrow


Prendre un enfant par la main
Pour l'emmener vers demain,
Pour lui donner la confiance en son pas,
Prendre un enfant pour un roi.
Prendre un enfant dans ses bras
Et pour la première fois,
Sécher ses larmes en étouffant de joie,
Prendre un enfant dans ses bras.

Prendre un enfant par le cœur
Pour soulager ses malheurs,
Tout doucement, sans parler, sans pudeur,
Prendre un enfant sur son cœur.
Prendre un enfant dans ses bras
Mais pour la première fois,
Verser des larmes en étouffant sa joie,
Prendre un enfant contre soi.

Prendre un enfant par la main
Et lui chanter des refrains
Pour qu'il s'endorme à la tombée du jour,
Prendre un enfant par l'amour.
Prendre un enfant comme il vient
Et consoler ses chagrins,
Vivre sa vie des années, puis soudain,
Prendre un enfant par la main
En regardant tout au bout du chemin,
Prendre un enfant pour le sien.
Yve Duteil

"Mother, teach me how to see The shining lights of stars, The faces of the Ancestors, In worlds both near and far. Show me how to welcome The visions appearing to me, Seeing the truth in detail, Unraveling each mystery. Walk me through the Dreamtime Of altered time and space, That I may share those visions With every creed and race. Doorkeeper of all dimensions, I seek your Medicine ways Of how to earth my visions, Seeing truth, inside me, today." -Jamie Sams

Aqua1955 29 Dec 2010

That message @ 2:58 PM was mine and I am sorry I did not directly make this photograph my pic of the day... Love and light as you should say

Artist Reply: Oh sank je wel Ben! Het is de gedachte die geldt! Toch? Wat een mooi plaatje he? Ik vind het zelf zo aandoenlijk zoals we allemaal adorerend naar het kindje kijken. Sofietje is een schat en lacht en brabbelt: ze is op de kop af 3 maanden. Ik spreek Nederlands met haar en we hopen dat ze er wat van oppikt in de toekomst! Ben, voor jou een knallend uiteinde gewenst en een goed begin van het nieuwe jaar! Love and Light, MOI

Beautiful capture. Happy New Year to all four of you...

Hi Granma... how proud can one be with such life around Christmas time. It's like feeling and beeing inside the Christmas story yourself with such happiness. Your poem tells your thoughts. I hope your grandchild is living near to you, so you can enjoy her as I do my grandson. Looking here at yours, it's cute to feel again and knowing I'm holding my second grandchild in a few months. Happy New Year to you all!
