English translation behind the logo.
Heute Nacht ist Januar-Vollmond, genauer gesagt am Sonntag früh um 4.26 Uhr MEZ.
Wieder einmal konnte ich nicht schlafen und bin viel zu früh aufgewacht. Da heute aber ein Sonnabend ist und ich somit nicht zur Außer-Haus-Arbeit muss (die andere kann ich auch heute Nachmittag/heute Abend machen), gab ich mich genussvollem Surfen hin.
Ich hab's nicht so mit "Leben nach dem Mondrhythmus", aber ich habe es sehr mit Lebensgestaltung / Jahreswort / Wünschen. So kam ich über einige Umwege zum heutigen Vollmond.
Spannend, sehr spannend, was ich über den Wolfs-Vollmond im Januar lernen durfte.
Der Wolf heult im tiefen Winter auf der Suche nach Futter.
Was suche ich? Jetzt ist eine kraftvolle Zeit dafür.
Jamie kreierte dazu ein "Dreamboard", dass helfen soll, seine Wünsche zu manifestieren. An so was glauben würde ich schon gerne, schaden wird's auf keinen Fall.
Nur kurz musste ich über meinen Januar-Vorsatz nachdenken, der mich natürlich zu meiner ***Leichtigkeit*** hinführen soll.
Mir fiel das fürchterlich sperrige Wort "Aufgeräumtheit" ein: aufräumen, Ordnung schaffen, Ordnung halten, sortieren, ausmisten usw.
Ich lache vor Freude noch immer, über das, was mir bei meiner Suche nach einer adequaten Übersetzung vor Augen kam:
Aufgeräumtheit [Heiterkeit] = cheerfulness
Na bitte, dass wird doch ein toller Januar :-)
Tonight is fullmoon. To be exact Sunday morning at 4.26 here in Germany.
Once again I couldn't sleep and woke up much too early. Luckily it's Saturday and I don't have to leave home for work and was has to get done I can do later on.
So I indulged in delightfully surfing the net.
I'm not into living-by-rythm-of-the-moon, but I'm into creating my life / changing / wishing and so on. So with some detours I landed on the moon today.
It's said, that the January fullmoon is linked to the wolf. The wolves haul in deep winter in search of food. What am I searching for? It's supposingly a powerful time for asking.
Jamie put up a dreamboard for it, that should help mainfesting the wish, the goal, the purpose.
I only had to ponder shorly than my January theme was standing in front of my mental eyes. Something that puts me nearer my 2009 theme ***lightness***.
What follows is a word-game I can't really translate. In January I will focus on getting to clutter-freeness: getting things sorted, getting things out of the house, being more neat. I thought the German word for this is Aufgeräumtheit, also a terrible long stiff word. Once I looked it up in an online-dictionary I burst out into laughts: My German word has another meaning also in German and the translation is cheerfulness.
Hey, what a January lies ahead of me :-)

May January be full of cheer for you in an organized clutter-free environment that allows you achieve your full (moon) potential! :)
ReplyDeleteFascinating! Well, perhaps being cheerful about this clutter-free process will be you much cheerfulness. I believe it will, that makes sense to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to create a dreamboard! May that cheerfulness find you starting right now :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely image...
ReplyDeleteWishing you Much Joy and Laughter in the coming months! Beautiful board. :)

ich hoffe, der Januar hat bisher gehalten, was er verspricht...bei mir jedenfalls schon..klirrende kälte...tolle Spaziergänge....herrliche Landschaft...
ReplyDeleteLG B.
I love the play on words - how can one be anything but cheerful reading this!! I will try to take some of that cheer into my own process of clearing clutter!! Seems to be an international theme . . .
ReplyDeleteTally, ich lese mich runter und freue mich über deine Wörterfunken -- sie sprühen und funkeln ja nur so!!! cheerfulness! Wonderful!

Beautiful picture. I was laughing when I read the second translation of Aufgeräumtheit. It's a funny business translating certain words into other languages. I hope your month will be full of Aufgeräumtheit, both of them.
ReplyDeleteHiya again T! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving your wonderful comment! Just to answer your question. I am a high school teacher of English Lit and Creative Writing. I am also the Curriculum Leader for Languages and Literature. :)
I love your picture! And I think both lightness and cheerfulness are great things to aim for.
ReplyDeleteOh how great that it translates into cheerfulness! I'm going to work on decluttering, too.
