Even in a day of digital photography we love to print photos to frame and display them at home. 

Photographs that are in our sight constantely at home, live with us and become a part of us, part of our active memory. These photos sharpen the contour of our memories. They invite neighbouring episodes of our past to join us in our present. 

Photos like this one refine the sense of gratitude because it reminds me of special blessings I have.

Do you really know how to do that?

This winter in Europe the trend for clothing and other accessories is knitting , it is all over in display at the most popular stores in Germany.  This was something we use to see when we were in our teens, the only difference then is, that it was produced by our mothers and grandmothers, today they are made most likely somewhere in a factory in Asia .

It is not the change of season but our capacity to see beauty in the change!

Römerberg, Frankfurt - March 9, 2013 Just a few days ago the scenario of spring we found at downtown Frankfurt was marvelous, the sun was shining and blue skies were clearly on the background. We of course enjoyed the first sings of spring and savored the occasion. Just a few days latter the skies turned grey and a significant snow storm caused complete chaos in traffic and quickly the winter reins again and spring is gone, but there is beauty and life in the white landscapes as well! Kurk Park, Bad Homburg - March 12, 2013 Isn't life like this many times, when we think is spring all the sudden it turns winter again.  Often is not the change of season but our capacity to see beauty in the change that makes the difference!

All things have become new!

"Old things are done away, and all things have become new.", 3 Nephi 12:47 . A declaration of Jesus that he fulfilled the law of Moses and that his teachings are a new blueprint, or plan, to pattern our lives after His life. In this first day of the year, we often set new goals to put away old things, old habits and turn new all that is around us and ahead of us. Here is a list of 10 things based on a higher plane of thought that can help us set the right goals and focus on the right things in 2011   1. Believe   2. Humility   3. Meekness   4. Hunger and thirst after righteousness   5. Pure in heart   6. Peacemakers   7. Salt of the earth   8. Light to the people   9. Keep my commandments   10. Honesty
