Why?

Sunday, May 3, 2009 5:01:51 PM

Why do some of the happiest moments occur when I´m doing absolutely nothing at all?!

I sat in Tivoli, an amusement park in Copenhagen, drinking a glass of red wine and I wondered why I was so damn happy?

I mean…there´s SO much to be unhappy about:

-My fiancée left me 4 month ago
-My son dropped out of a good and solid education
-My daughter got divorced
-I have to have hearing hearing aids on both ears soon. I´ve got tinnitus for good now
-For a period, recently, my work stressed me down
Etc. etc.

I sat there in Tivoli. In a bar with a glass of red wine. Watching people..beautiful people of all shapes, colours and sizes…..and I was happy. Feeling light and slightly dizzy and above all…
Free

Lately I´ve abandoned my whole survival programme:

-Forgetting to run
-Not doing my yoga
-Not doing my meditation..
And stll I feel energetic and fit!
Strange

Even painting has become fun and not the 10% Inspiration and 90% Transpiration as my father used to tell me

-A glass of wine
-A comfy chair
And the camera lying ready beside me, did the trick:
My body was totally calm and my eyes were hungry

The RingSomeday I´ll fly away

KittyliciousZaphira # Sunday, May 3, 2009 5:13:25 PM

I think I'll just give you a hug. What a beautiful post.

*hugs*

Sansanshan # Sunday, May 3, 2009 5:41:23 PM

...because you are living in the moment.

Dacotah # Sunday, May 3, 2009 6:08:55 PM

I'm sorry.

Darkogdare # Sunday, May 3, 2009 7:00:00 PM

It is nice to have inner peace... despite everything

Allanricewood # Sunday, May 3, 2009 8:58:22 PM

Nothing like a massive amount of idleness to spark happiness. I know. Idleness is the reason for the best in life. Give us more.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Sunday, May 3, 2009 9:32:48 PM

@ Zaphira
Thanks Zaph *hugs* back to ya

@ Sandy
Exactly San. That´s exactly it!!

It has taken app. 48 years to learn

@ Carol
Don´t be. I´m fine Carol

@ Darko
Yes Darco. That´s the foundation for me...the essens of wellbeing

@ Allan
Yeah. I probably don´t need to meditate much anymore. The idleness has taken over. A lot of ppl. will be happy about that. Some say that my hyperactivity has been a pain in the butt

Thankyou all. Your comments are wonderful

Dacotah # Sunday, May 3, 2009 10:14:11 PM

I hope so Nik.

Sansanshan # Sunday, May 3, 2009 10:40:47 PM

I'm ahead of you, it only took 47 years for me!

Spaggyj # Sunday, May 3, 2009 11:22:21 PM

I love these times when life should be so dismal, and all of a sudden, joy and contentment bubble up. Don't question it... They're one of the biggest perks of life. The element of surprise helps, I'm sure

Stardancer # Monday, May 4, 2009 12:08:42 AM

What a great day you've had, and thank you for sharing it. I'm so glad that you're feeling happy.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Monday, May 4, 2009 8:52:18 AM

@ Carol

@ San

@ Kim
I do too. And you´re right

@ Stardancer
I still have the feeling

Moments like that amidst the rest help keep you going.

ChristineForestFloor # Monday, May 4, 2009 1:30:02 PM

Beautiful images! I especially love the first one

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Tuesday, May 5, 2009 8:41:46 AM

@ Javaen
Indeed Jen

@ Christine
Thanks Christine and welcome here

CynthiaCynthia23 # Tuesday, May 5, 2009 2:23:33 PM

What a great idea! I think I will find myself at one of these amusement parks soon. Hmmm ... I have not been to such a place in maybe 20 years. Thanks for reminding me, Nic!

Adele BrandSittingFox # Tuesday, May 5, 2009 7:11:45 PM

Sorry to hear that things have been rough for you lately

Glad you had a moment to chill out

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Wednesday, May 6, 2009 8:56:17 AM

@ Cynthia
I´m glad Cynth. You sound absolutely ready for it

@ Adele
Don´t be sorry Adele. I´ve found out, that I´m far better to tackle things like that, than I´ve ever been before

Comes with age, I guess

Rosysolzinho # Thursday, May 7, 2009 1:24:19 AM

Thats great Jill. I wish I could give you some danish icecream . My city is famous for its icecream

Rosysolzinho # Thursday, May 7, 2009 7:44:33 PM

Eu li bem??? Você estava em Tivoli?? Eu estive em Tivoli/Italia em um lugar chamado Vila D'este, cheio de fontes. Me parece que era a residencia de ferias de um cardeal.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Thursday, May 7, 2009 7:51:40 PM

Sim, você leu corretamente! Eu estava na Tivoli. Tivoli em Itália sons muito emocionante!

Rosysolzinho # Thursday, May 7, 2009 7:55:11 PM

scott cummingI_ArtMan # Thursday, May 7, 2009 10:22:07 PM

what san said.

and, it wasn't just the wine, but the state of abeyance you were in. like you just let go of all that ambition. i know. i like it when i let go too.

we should all do it regularly, like it matters because it does.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Friday, May 8, 2009 5:46:43 AM

OK Rosy. Eu olho para fotos de Rosy by Rosy.

studio41 # Friday, May 8, 2009 5:47:47 AM

oh, that would be wonderful!

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Friday, May 8, 2009 6:00:16 AM

@ Scott
Yeah. It´s nice to take a vacation from your own programme. I´ve found out the need for doing just that is essential in order to rebuild my creativity!

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Friday, May 8, 2009 6:03:05 AM

@ Jill
This is a pic of the famous Brostræde is from Elsinore for ya

scott cummingI_ArtMan # Friday, May 8, 2009 6:09:38 AM

it's like the way a farmer lets his field 'lie fallow' so it regains it's nutritional values.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Friday, May 8, 2009 6:10:43 AM

Very well put Scott. Exactly. What you say is almost biblical

scott cummingI_ArtMan # Friday, May 8, 2009 11:59:56 PM

yeah nic, i knew them all in a 'biblical' way.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Saturday, May 9, 2009 6:16:34 AM

Nah, ok, you sound pretty earthbound here

PainterWoman # Monday, May 11, 2009 6:06:37 PM

It only took me 60 years. Well, I should say there have been many, many happy moments but it took many years to be content with what is. You were in the moment of life with these photos.

Especially love the pic of the old couple with the ice cream cones.

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Monday, May 11, 2009 6:49:59 PM

Luckily I have had a lot of these moments recently, Pam.

The couple were so consentrated on their icecreams that they didn´t see me raise the camera

RuneSB # Tuesday, May 12, 2009 7:59:26 AM

Great Nicolas, you deserve it absolutely !

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Tuesday, May 12, 2009 9:20:31 AM

Thanks pal

kripo # Thursday, May 14, 2009 6:45:55 AM

Hi Nic,
I did't visit your page since a long time ...( shame on me

),but I'm glad to see you happy and enjoy by all fabulous moments of life.
I think the life is made from small things and happiness means all these things goes great together 'in all colours and shape'

Nicolas Borgsmidtnopanic # Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:22:57 AM

Kripo! Welcome back

I´ll let your kind remark stand as it is. Beautiful words. Thhankyou
