Solong farewell auf wiedersehen goodbye

photo Kim anderson

When I was thinking of the above title, my son ,being silly, was actually singing it when he left for school "solong, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye. Just another coincidence. But anyway you got it I am leaving.

I choose this photo of Kim Anderson as the last simply because it is so beautiful and if you want to take one thing from me then I would like that to be that you tell your children how special they are.
I am choosing to spent more time in life outside Blogging. More things have come up, still want to learn some things but it was hard to make that choice because I love Blogging. To peek in different worlds, make friends and to see there is so much beauty around us. I collected beautiful quotes and stories which I can revisit whenever I want just as I can revisit you when time permits. I know when I keep on Blogging the things I want to do are going to be side tracked.
I still had so much to tell, so much planned but found that I just didn't have the time. But one day a big wave will take me and and I will splash it out all over you.
I don't have the perfect end. It is just time for change. If you ever come to Christchurch let me know my blogging friends and I put the coffee ready. I leave my Blog and I wish you well and leave you with the following quote
For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out. James Baldwin
Thank you, Aroha and I will miss you Marja

  2. I have enjoyed your bloggy friendship and am sad to see you go. But, on the other hand, you can go out and live real life and, if you have a spare moment, come and share it!

    I am glad that you have made your choice, and I will always feel that 'real life' is the right choice when compared to 'blog life'.

    If you are ever up Taranaki way, the offer for coffee stands for you, too!

  7. I can't believe that your leaving your blog forever. You told us earlier to do the same, but aftr a while you came back and we all were glad to see that happen.
    Sometimes we all need a break to reload with new ideas or to make time free for other things. I also used time for a loooong break and now I'm back. We made friends all over the world and I won't miss that friendship and the stories I read from all parts of this beautiful place called World. Take enough time to do the things you have in mind and I'm sure you will come back later with the most beautiful stories and poems.
    We blijven contact houden hoor Marja.

  9. I have only just found your blog again only to lose you again! That is a little sad, but life always calls for us all to live! The call can't go unheeded! It is important to live and not just exist!

    Wishing you happiness as you find new spirit and soul around and in you!

  17. Keep the coffee ready, I looking into expatriating and I might show up at any moment. Especially if they run me out of the country, I was called a " political instigator" recently.

  19. BB it is probably because you think more broadly and deeper than others do.

  20. Marja....I will think of you often as I do now. I too am struggling with the idea of walking away from my blog as I know its an obsession I am having a tough time balancing with the rest of my life.
    Take good care....I'm always just an email away. We'll be in touch I'm sure.

  21. It's always a little sad to see a great blog come to an end. But we live in hope that you will continue to visit us and perhaps one day when the inconsiderate real world will allow, we will see you return to blogging. In the meantime, know that you will be greatly missed. Selamat jalan, Marja.

  22. Thank You Marja for sharing us your bit of the World. Been enjoying reading your verses. But as you said "real life" call is always priority one. Have a whale of time doing whatever you are at!

    Wishing you peace and happiness always!

    Would sure "hope" to see you come back some time...Cheers

  23. I suspect that we are the only witnesses to those past. . . The poem moved me, Baldwin was always succinct.
    I suspect that you will be back to blogging. It is hard to remove yourself from those willing to share thoughts and experiences. Bye
