Sometimes its hard to accept people for who they are! Sometimes it feels like a curse to have a happy personality but a "sad" soul at the same time.
All this, in one body!
This is one of my preferred, wonderful wood-skin paintings, I found in Pak Wayan's gallery, my partners uncle, who collected many artefacts for his whole life. I wrote about him a while ago and also opened my first profile called @onartbali but I forgot my keys:( and cannot access it anymore.
What I mean is that I feel everything so very deeply! Maybe it's a blessing? There is so much complaining going on and frustrations expressed around us. How can you keep your positive approach for life, if sadness of others start to effect you more than you can handle. Close friends going through break-ups, financial difficulties, heartaches and maybe dealing with depression. I can relate of course because at one point we all experience the very same but at different times.
I always try to embrace the lessons though and move forward.
I had a very nice chat yesterday, questioning what is really important at the end of the day.
I look at my 92 years mother and see her crying a lot, experience her frustrations about her pain but I can't help her much. I then remind her to focus and think about all the beautiful things before she goes to sleep, to think about all the fun she had throughout her long life, that she should remember the joys with her children and men, to accept her destiny and sorrows and I advice her :"Mom, you had such a nice life all overall! You are old now and thats how it goes for all of us. One day it will be over and all we got is our image in the mirror. Be proud of yourself! I finally understand that You have always tried to be a good woman and mother."
You better make sure that You don't have to look away from the reflection of yourself in this mirror!
If you can see yourself with all those wrinkles what a "rich" life gave you....You will be just fine!
She is so beautiful!
I admire my mother as well as men, filled with passion, like Pak Wayan back in Bali and will share beautiful images with you today.

Let me remind you as well what should be important in all our lives before its over
“I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” ~ Eric Roth
Yours @mammasitta and @massivevibration for more music related articles and re-steems. Would be great to see you there as well sometimes as well.
I know a bit how it feels when everyone around you is in pain and dilemma of life.
I have gone through some similar times when many people around me were sad for one thing or another.
But I always tried to show them the bright side, maybe they bring a bit sadness to me too, but thinking that I brought some happiness to them makes me feel much more happier.
If I can make some more people happy, what more is there to do.
At last, I see it an opportunity to bring some smiles to others when people are sad, as happy people don't need us that much as sad.
And in some ways, it makes me feel a bit more important and a bit more happy.
My blessing and my curse.
You are beautiful!!!!
Thats exactly what I am reflecting on today. We all go through ups&downs.
We need to lift each other but I have to admit its hard sometimes.
Thanks. I hope you keep it up the way you are living.
keep it up and up and more up :)
love to read it and nice photography..
Thank you very much
Hello, good morning from Thailand,
I had the same experience as I was about 13 years old, both of grandparents died during 1 year because of cancer, at this time I lived with them and could see all their pain every day, my grandpa said some days before he had to go to hospital to me:
"Don't worry about me, I had a good but not such an easy life, now I can feel it's time for me to go. Take care on your grandma and on yourself, we will meet again."
2 weeks later he died in the hospital, my grandma one year later.
I'm still very thankful for all what they did for me.
Best regards
Tom
What a heartwarming story you tell here! Thank you for sharing with me. I just got a call from my Mom, telling me that she fell down and cannot get up alone......I don't know if I find enough strength to get through this. I try my best! Greetings to lovely Thailand. So nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too, @mammasitta ,
yes, it was not so easy at that time for me, but as you can see, I'm still alive and have the best memories to this time, I know in the moment it's not easy for you, I wish you much energy.
Best regards
Tom
Your mom is magnificent! <3 <3 <3 <3
This song jumped in my mind when I read your comment :) Such a nice chat with you yesterday. Hope for more!
Wonderful song and probably very fitting :D
It was indeed, waiting for the next time!
I actually have no idea why this song popped in my mind :) but now it’s on the blockchain
My Dad said to me once "I feel tired" Tired of what I said? He replied "Tired of living". I never really understood what he meant at the time! As i've got older myself I think he meant tired of everything aching or hurting. Your Mother looks like she will live on forever :) Enjoy Life... it's for living!
I really like your Dad! He is a wise man 🌺
I love Art and Nature, tweeted your post :)
#TmSmile smiles on you & your sweet Mother
That’s sweet and so nice to read before I go and sleep 😴Thanks so so much!
I'm glad you liked what I said, he was wise and proud, and hated relying on others for help ~ sweet dreams to you 😴

Feeling everything deeply is the universes way of letting you know you are alive and on the correct path. Hugs and I truly enjoyed this post!
Thats such a beautiful and thoughtful reply. Oh Yes! I am alive :)
Nice to meet you!
☺️pleasure meeting you as well!
Those who cannot feel a thing (and there are many of those) will find you to be the luckiest person ever.
What you have is definitely a gift, do enjoy and embrace it completely! :)
Our bodies are filled with many different emotions many cannot be seen, depression can indeed be a strange one. I have seen people who seem to have it all and still be depressed people who have alot of things to be grateful for but still not happy it is difficult to understand what they want or need sometimes @mammasitta
I never really experienced heavy depression except once when the sky felt always grey and never blue. It was clearly a temporary, hormonal imbalance. So....I think thats the really problem. Chemicals are out of whack and therefore those emotions can't be controlled. Its horrific for some!
Das erste Bild löst echt etwas in mir aus, für mich hat es etwas Spirituelles und ich bin eig. nicht religiös, bin nach der Schule aus der Kirche ausgetreten..
Muss mir unbedingt auch mal Bali geben...
I was just thinking about the symbol on that woodskin painting. I never asked actually but I know for sure its not Balinese artwork. Indonesia is so rich on various cultures. Es ist unglaublich was ich alles gefunden habe in diesen Gallerien. Ich muss Mal Pak Wayan fragen, woher das ist.
Ja bitte, würd mich echt interessieren! Für mich sieht es auch ein bisschen nach Maya aus, aber ich bin nicht so fachkundig xD
Ich sag Dir bald Bescheid
It seems to me like you're an empathetic person and that's not a bad thing at all. I'm sure you have many people coming to you when they're feeling low and you heal them before sending them back. :)
How do you know :)
Nice to meet you!!!
I know :P
I have also a very old family member, its my 103 years old grand-grandmother. I'm also trying to encourage her every time i see her, but its so hard ! She went through so much and now everything what is left for her are just some pains and the only thing that makes her happy and puts smile on her face is when people visit her and talk a bit with her. Life is short and it goes just like this. You really need to do things that you love and you dreamed of, because soon you will be old and you wont be able to change nothing in your life... So follow your dreams and do what you like and fight for it !
So sweet!!!!
OMGoshhhhh 103 !!!! Baaaang!!!!
Keep up with it and make her smile as much as possible!!!!
Wow...such a wonderful and interesting post by @mammasitta mam...
Actualy that is really interesting article...
Wel done dear...
i wonder what part of my thoughts touched you? You can see it in one of the pictures.
Luckily, I live a life that make me really proud and that's what I care about
Yeah!! thats great to know!!!!You just put a smile on my face!
happy to do so
life is the reflection of your past and present, and you showed to your mom what is reality and tells her to nicely what she deserved, respect and beloved, thanks for this blog and somehow i am going to emotional as well as to my mom.
I really appreciate it for reading my thoughts today!
we all have to face this kind of reality but as long as we can be on their side to make it easier for them.
I send you lots of strength
A very impressive post again..I am coming through the middle of ages in my life. Sometimes I am asking myself what I succeeded in my life? Am I satisfied with my all actions and chooses? Sometimes I answer yes but most of the time I answer no. Than I am telling myself if I couldn't manage it till now, I should do it in the future. Becasue we have one life. I hope I would be proud of my life in future while looking at my past.
Its all about what we do NOW!
Time is running faster than we wish......
It is the same thing I was thinking today, am I happy with my life, what I am doing with my life.
I am smiling to know that!!!!!
haha
Respected @mammasitta,
always feeling love in your articles. you have a beautiful heart and Supportive feelings.
Here in your gallery all the pictures are amazing.
You are Lucky that you have loving mother and your mother is lucky hat she has a daughter like you. May Blessings of GOD on her.
Yes I can sense that you understand my message in my blog:)
At the moment my life is on hold because of HER!
Excellent article, it makes you think about your life and look around. Thanks for sharing.
Yap! Thats what I had on my mind today and I wanted to pack up those thoughts with some art and scenes I love.
First off SALUTE to your brave mother. At the age of 92 she looks so beautiful. She must be a very good mom, sister, aunt and wife at the same time, I guess. I wish her last phase of life could pass pain free.
By the way @mammasitta you too a brave woman. The way you described your thoughts towards life is just awesome and so true as well. You're so realistic. In my life I met only a few people who are realistic and you're one of them. I wish you all the best for your quality blogging and the beautiful life of your mother. This line is most attractive and beautiful line of this blog:
I can relate of course because at one point we all experience the very same but at different times
Keep posting positivity and Stay Blessed!
people won't replace the sad feelings from your heart to their hearts
so they don't matter
what matters is what inside you
so live life that make you proud of your positive energy
that's so sweet post @mammasitta
I try I try I try and try again and again .....
that's it
repeating it will make you believe it
when you believe it, you will feel it
thats such a beautiful advice!
Amazing. Incredible painting!
I think it's wonderful you wear your heart on your sleeve. I think it emplodes passion and warmth and always is considered a strength, especially when those around you are hurting. Really enjoy your posts.
P.S your mother is beautiful
Awwwww.....I had to learn to protect my heart!
Mom is awesome indeed!
Beautiful photos and the best of them, this is your mom's photo. You are right, our mothers will always be the most beautiful for us! Thank you @mammasitta
We had our difficulties but thats the past !

My mom is 70 years old, happy to see her smile everyday, give me more energy. I see that kind of smile, wish your mom always be healthy and you too :)
Great thought's there by you ....thanks for sharing such post :)
Always try to have positive and friendly people around you. Those will bring energy and passion into your life. Life is so good, and together we will manage to make every Day a little party.
Thats impossible! All human beings go through their ups & downs....We can't just look away....when they are down
I agree; never look away, do the opposite, look at them, give a helping hand or a shoulder to support. That means so much, that helps people to bring back the smile.
all we can do is trying our best and sometimes I am just not strong enough myself....
Fabulous one!!!
Good art
Nice👍
that's great...
