After Darkness Comes Light

... AND... The Sun (pic taken around 5:30 am)

It´s always good to have friends you can be honest with.
Bro keeps the real tough things about our Mum to himself (and me - not even his Wife knows the lot - I think that´s wrong), I don´t and my friend helped me a great deal today.

I am less concerned about Ex now, learned that other families are as crazy/weird/sick at times as mine and that it´s good to be open to others. I got help - ideas and some wisdom, like ...
Life is floating like a river and the years between 30 and 40 are the most exhausting ones cause you make so many decisions, job-wise and private - and it´s hard to keep all those balls in the air.

I feel reassured and stronger. Decided the next step and asked Bro to arrange it - he agreed! Thanked me, asked me for advice - with also Ingo´s help, I could do it all - and hopefully I/we were right.

Amongst other, Bro and me will have an appointment with our Mum´s Doc, tell her all and ask for help. Mum doesn´t do it. We have to, even if it feels like cheating on her (pride).

Guess maybe I even could help Bro himself, thanks to my friend.

The Pic above???
My way to work! - Summer is sooooo beautiful! In real it´s a huuuuge orange ball, but, well, be the driver and take a pic... difficult (and dangerous, I know).

Thursday Ingo made my life/mind a bit easier with a bike-tour, isn´t this beautiful? The yellow?



Today we "only" went for a walk, but I´m glad about it, cause I saw a Bro of our.. umm... carpet:



It´s really tragic, he lost his original Bro, who drowned in the flood - here you can see both of them.
;-)
(Am I glad the flood happened!!! Never ever a Weekend-Relationship, never again!)



Maybe I am, after all, as theatrical as my Bro when trouble comes along... I panic, see the worst-case-scenario.

(Btw.. we had visitors who really hopscotched :-)
I speak of adults - totally worth the money, that carpet!)
