To move on is to apologize...

Lately I've discovered some bad habits among people...

We forget to apologize. And if we do so, we don't always mean it. We just say it so we can get rid of the issue we have with the involved. Have we got into the habit, not to give an apology? 

Of course when you mess up, and you know you've said or done the wrong thing you can give an excuse form the heart, I'm not saying that we turned into cold-hearted robots, but we do forget sometimes: 

"What is just words for you, is a total other deal for somebody else"

 Have you ever looked at yourself thinking: Who am I? After hurting a very close friend?

I have - (Let's not go too much into that).  And I did apologize. That's when I started thinking about the thing about an apology. It might just be words for you, but think about the person who receive your apology. I know that it meant a lot to my friend that i said i was sorry. 

Remember you can get a long way with anger, but do it with love and the result will be even better.

A small step for the chicken...

Today I let my chickens go outside for just a moment.
(And yes I have chickens)

 This is an old picture... Now they look like big eagles and crows... Some of them looks like vultures!
I have 13. I'm keeping six of them.
But today they stepped outside in the green lusty nature and felt the brisk wind against their feathers.
Do you remember the first time you did something?
I'm going to ask again in a minute, but I do. I remember the first time in the forest. I can see the crowns of the trees from a frog's perspective. I'm lying in my pram and by only this memory i can tell you that my pram was dark blue and white from the inside.
It is funny how some memories fill our minds forever, and then there's those who doesn't.
I can't remember my grandfather. He died when i was one-two-years old. I don't remember a single glint of a day with him. So what makes us remember some stuffs and forget the most important? Can't we control what our mind will hold on to? Of course we can write it down, and that's probably why we have photo albums. But still it seems weird that my mind rather want to hold on to a walk in the forest, than my own grandpa?

Keep your memories safe somehow, and don't forget them. Like my first day with my chickens outside.
Maybe I should take a picture...
I'll be back soon!


Do you remember the first time you did something?

Elderflower pancakes!

Elderflower-pancakes!

Elderflower-pancake with vanilla ice.

Today I celebrated the Midsummer's Eve with a lovely dessert.The elder flowers in my garden are out and I've used the entire evening, baking pancakes. 
This is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 5 dl wheat flour
• 4 tsp sugar
• vanilla sugar (optional)
• Elderflowers
• 5 dl milk
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp rape oil

Pour wheat flour, sugar and vanilla sugar into a bowl and stir it together. Now whip the milk and the eggs and mix it with the other ingredients. Add rape oil and elderflowers. Fry the pancakes to they'll get light brown at each sides. You can serve them with vanilla ice and jam as it suits you the best.

Enjoy the meal!

What is your favorite dessert ?

Happy on a stone

Listen to this:

While reading this:

Yesterday i sat on a bench with my mom, enjoying the evening. Have you ever just closed your eyes and listened to the nature? That's what we did yesterday. I had the most stressful week and to finish it by sitting and listening to the birds - (blackbirds) - was just what i needed. So if you're ever filled to the top with stress or any kinds of pressuring minds, take my word for it: It will help.
My sister couldn't do it. She broke into a laugh that could have stormed little Mr. Blackbird of the electricity pole. Why is it, we forget the value of life's value? Are we in too much of a hurry to just stop for a moment and be happy in the accurate instant? My mom tells me (very wisely):

"When you can live on a rock, then you know what true happiness really is."

Let me tell you something:
I got a shirt the other day. I love the shirt! It's just me! But i do know that  in a week or two I'll be searching for a new shirt. And when I find it, it will start all over again.
Don't find happiness in the stuffs you buy on smartgirl.com, at the shopping mall or at the pedestrian street.
Don't find it in the vacation you are heading to this summer. When the vacation is over, you'll be waiting for the next to come. Find it in the every-day-life. That is where you are the rest of the life! It's monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday that you are living your life in. It's the bird's sound every monday morning, or the friday evening sitting on a bench being happy just sitting there.
Try it out!

Going to school...

Have you ever had the feeling in the morning: Why should I go to school? What is waiting for me there? Do I need this day?

I've lost that feeling. I lost it one and a half year ago, I moved to another school in seventh grade. And I moved back again in seventh grade. I don't regret moving, 'cause by getting to know another school and know the students, how they interact with each others, how the teachers teach. I learned a lot. I learned that I had to go back. Do you have a special seat at the dinner table? Or in the living room? In the couch? I think we all have a special seat in our every-day life.

Mine is in my class sitting among the others, my piece can't fit in another puzzle, this is where my seat is. And I didn't know that before I left it. Like the quote says;

"you don't know what you have until you lost it."

So enjoy your days at school!

What is your special seat?

Welcome

Hi & Welcome! 

Well, this is my blog. My first real blog. I can't tell you precisely what it's about. Well. My head is quite messy, so my blog will most likely be the same.

You'll might get confused by my username; Brittle. My name isn't Brittle, I can just be brittle (crazy? nuts?) sometimes.

Yeah... That's me! I can't make a blog without You knowing how I look, right?Don't mind the guy in the background, the picture is from a day in Kongens Have (The King's Garden) Which is in Copenhagen, Denmark.By the way! A very important detail, I'm Katherine ; )

Please add me, this is just a supplement and my very first welcome-entry.
