Developing resilience, a must!

















September the 21., autumn had kicked in again. Bringing us a most beautiful colorful nature. But sure, it is also bringing us these harsh winds, the days grow shorter, and the sun is not as warm as it used to be. Personally I think that every season has its own charm, and I am perfectly able to enjoy any kind of weather. I like it incredibly warm, freezing cold, snowy, storming rain, there is always something exciting about it. Why so? Am I crazy? Perhaps. I like to think it is because I am a natural positive optimist, and I love to discover new things in all circumstances. But, this attitude is an attitude that I have worked on, that I have developed over the years through a lifestyle of gratitude.

Mastery = to enjoy craftsmanship day after day














Sylvia (my wife) and I have stayed in the Dolomites (in South Tirol) for 2 weeks, enjoying the holiday together.  This most northerly province of Italy offers a phenomenal combination of South-European craftsmanship, and you find traces of it all around you. The ´simple´ wooden-pin construction in the wooden barrier, which is dividing two mountainsides at 2000 meter, is a great example of this.
