Back On Track-Laugh About Yourself
I would like to tell you more about Dieter Hallervorden.
Another movie I have right here Sein letztes Rennen / Back on Track (I give the German link, google translate does a good job here).
Short: His (movie-)wife needs to go into a retirement home, as she needs care, and he goes with her.
He´s bored to the brim. He ran a marathon in the 50´s, won, and they - he and his actually "care needing" wife together (nearly) repeat this.
He cried. In the movie. And those were real tears, I learned from the book.
As in "Head Full of Honey", real tears.
By golly. Don´t you love men who can do that? (have one here).
Empathy.
This is a book I very likely will keep.
I won´t read it again, I guess, but I adore this man so much, just seeing the book will make me smile every time. Even if I never heard him say "Palim-palim", as Ingo remembers.
For this picture Hallervorden was asked to undress his upper body.
He did.
He is "undisguised". And stands in all his dignity.
I´d love to meet him once, but I´d be too shy.
One of the most humble men.
Fled GDR because he had the strong will to be FREE not only in his mind.
The title, huh.
Dieter Hallervorden has an Instagram Account.
He was on the Seychelles.
And danced with a turtle .
Hmmm, "something" had a look out of his pants. Oh, well, he published anyways.
Because.
He can laugh about himself :-) "Sometimes it´s just half the truth, that shows itself", he said :-)
And certainly there is ....
Chuzpe (movie).
Or Chutzpah, as you call it, "Chutzpah is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. It derives from the Hebrew word ḥutspâ, meaning "insolence", "cheek" or "audacity". "
Dieter Hallervorden plays the role of a Jew who lives in Melbourne and comes back to Berlin to his daughter (one of his family members in real life was a Na#i btw).
Falls in love, messes much up but manages to open a restaurant with his new love.
There is always hope, it seems.
In his movies, in his real life.
I adored this man, always, and now even more.
Another colleague said, Hallervorden is someone who never lies.
And he himself says he always wanted to make people forget their sorrows for a while.
No lion, this has nothing to do with The city of Henry the Lion after all...
Back on track, huh?
I "hired" a coach - with eventually my very own money. (No help from the work agency. They read "engineer" and do not help :-(
Coach was nice - but does not want to see me, thanks Corona! :-(
I did sent him my stuff, he will have a look (for free for now).
He said it will take a while. With so many places shutting down, not much of a chance to get back on track.
Wish me luck?

Think Hallervorden is someone who knows what the good life means …
Gorgeous that photo with the big turtle … it doesn't matter if you see the quarter of the ball!!!😅
Good luck with the new coach …
Have a great weekend! Stay save!
A little big HUG! 🤗
Oh jeh, Hallervoden mag ich immer noch nicht.... Viel Glück beim Coaching, ich hoffe es hilft. Bleib gesund und mach dir einen schönen Tag, GlG, Valerie
Ella, good on you for having one, too!
And yes, his son told him off, "do not publish that!". He did, pffft.
Hope the coach calls me !
Have a great weekend, too. And stay safe, A little big HUG! xx

Valerie, vielleicht gib ihm ne Chance? Aber ich versteh´s...
Auf gesund bleiben und einen schönen Tag, Sonne hier, GlG, Iris
...NEVER stop laughing, when you lose your sense of humor, yoou've lost everythiing!
Today I think I lost it all.
Very interesting indeed.
Stay safe.
Good luck with the coach. There is so much unemployment here. Grocery stores, unemployment office and big box superstores with large grocery areas are hiring. Some restaurants are laying off service staff but giving them first choice to be delivery people. It's very hard. But at least Coach has your stuff, and that's good.
I value the tears of men. To me, it makes them stronger, not weaker. And more powerful and compassionate. This sounds beautiful. Sad and beautiful.
It´s all over.
Good luck.
Good luck, Iris.
Have a great night!
I haven't heard of this, but not unusual here in the US as anything not in English isn't usually mainstreamed. But it sounds good and uplifting. We need uplifting right now, don't we. Hugs-Erika
