Huhuuu Cutiepies and Honeybees :)
Wow it already is the end October right now agaaain :S and Halloween is just around the corner now ;) Here in Germany this isn´t really something special or celebrated ;) the only thing are the hollowed pumpkins and motto parties :) So I just thought where this Halloween hype might come from and discovered that it is especially in GB and the USA such a big festivity just like our carnival time or something like this ;)
But there are also pages on the internet like : Halloween around the world, blaabla blah so i asked myself what do others do on this day to make it so special, because here we only have a free day of work from Allerheiligen on 1st of november ;) and this year also the special luther celebration day ;) but in Ireland or the Us some really go crazy on this day ;) there are endless websites about pumpkin recipes, trick or treats, scary bloody costumes and so on... :) really stunning to see :S haha :)
So it all started in Ireland ;) where the people are all dressing up as creepy horrible figures and making bonfires at night :) and after trick-or treating they are also going for halloween motto parties, playing games like snap-apple and eating barnbrack :) The idea of putting out hollowed pumpkins also came from their country, because it was said that Jack O´Lantern derieved from hell and was banned to wander between heaven and hell ;) so the only thing he had was a candle in a hollowed beetroot ;) so there the tradition ;)
In the Us this may also be a little bit kind of like this I think ;) But there are sooo different traditions as well, honoring the dead and all Saint´s Day on 1 st of November :
In Guatemala for example the people are decorating their cemeteries with colourful painted kites and handmade posters ;) Just as El Dia de Los Muertos is celebrated in Mexico, which i think worldwide is more known ;) Here the people bring food, candles, flowers and other arrangements on the cemeteries for celebrating the reunion with their loved dead ones ;) They also bake skull shaped sweets and the bread of the dead for this event ;) Also in the whole country parades in honor of the deads are held, where everyone dresses up in skeleton or ghost themed costumes ;)
So here in Germany Halloween is not so much celebrated, but it develops as well ;) On Allerheiligen tomorrow we also visit our beloved dead ones on the cemetery and decorate the graves with new flowers and arrangements ;) Lets see ;) I hope this post didn´t bore you but i just enjoyed writing it heheee ;)
Wish you all a lovely sunny last day of October now ;) hopefully with much spoooooooky stories ;) xxxx
Hey heeeey my lovely ooonnes ;)
Aaaandd again long time no see, but a few days ago a really really good friend of mine sended me a pic with this quote: "Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go"
And this again made me feel like it would be time to write a blog again ;) and what suits more at the moment than autumn showing up outside :) Here in Germany the leaves all look like painted now and the trees let their leaves fall down -> they let them go.... And seeing this as an image, this is so beautiful in my opinion, because of course letting things go can feel hard, but at the same time it maybe feels relieving and liberating ;)
Holding on to things can be as harmful as letting go... You can see this so well in your relationship to other people i think :S On the one hand you wanna hold on to somebody who maybe is not good at all for you :S So letting those people go maybe feels hard at first, but afterwards you then will realize they were not meant to stay in your life at all... You will feel happy about this.. Maybe not now, but i for myself hope one day i will.... :(
So for me it at the moment is all about change and making decisions, which one i will do, i only can tell you if i truly made them.... So for the moment i try to enjoy my days ;) and have a lot of fun meeting some nice people and seeing it not too serious, because on many days i do not have many things to laugh about... But i think we all have those days, right?
Sounds a little bit depressing now, but i am having some though times, but i nevertheless will give up or put my light down ..... :S because true Ange(l)s always will keep their head up :)
