They are part of my cherished rituals...
I
I have many rituals for seasons, weeks and days.
I enjoy them in my alldays life.
At the end of the winter (and summer) I celebrate the big laundry.
All the clothes, worn in wintertime/summertime to clean and put away for next year ...
II
Another, weekly, ritual is to go on sunday to the railway station.
Here is a journal&book shop and I take the time to scroll through many magazines and choose one to buy.
That I don't want to miss!
There are so many beautiful journals and I am fascinated by the images and colors.
Honestly, often I don't, what they advise: to do yoga or meditation or bake cakes ...
(and I often ask me, how many reader to all that - )
(and I often ask me, how many reader to all that - )
But it's a pleasure to read and look at that all and often I find my own inspiration.
III
One of my daily rituals is the shower at the evening.
If all days work is done to feel the water on my skin and let drain away stress and effort of the day.
Wrapping in a towel. Exit the active time ...
IV
On tuesday I had the good fortune to spend a time at a very special place: Drübeck Monastery.
It is open for visitors and if I could, I'd like to be there once in every week.
A few pictures, what I've taken.

One finds the most, what I do, boring...
But she has her rituals also.
Whenever she goes out of the door, I have to bend down to her and with my head touching her head - before she does not go away...

Have a nice and relaxing (but not boring) weekend :-)

The monastery looks very peaceful. I need somewhere near my home that I can visit for a few moments thought and contemplation. And I know what you mean about the magazines. I enjoy reading their advice - but then I ignore it. :)
AntwortenLöschenWow...the Drübeck Monastery looks like such a fascinating place to visit. Absolutely beautiful.
AntwortenLöschenGreat rituals, I love the notice Laundry today...made me smile.

AntwortenLöschenYour posts are always such fun to read... and your photography is grand. Love visiting you.
AntwortenLöschenMascha, Thank you for sharing these lovely images and words! Seems like such a peaceful place to reside. :) Have a blessed weekend!
AntwortenLöschenI wish I could hang my laundry outside ... it makes the clothes smell so good, but I can't. Too much humidity here. They would never dry! The monastery looks like a very special place. Loved the images you shared. Pretty flowers. I enjoyed YOUR day! :) Happy Friday!
AntwortenLöschenHi Mascha, you have shared such lovely photos with us today. I love the idea of putting away the winter clothes. Unfortunately, here in southern California, I really don't have any winter clothes. I miss the four seasons. And, the monastery looks like a fascinating place. Wishing you the best, Pat xx
AntwortenLöschenWhat a lovely post and I've enjoyed all your photos especially of those in the monastery it looks so cool and peaceful. I love your cat too and the ritual of touching her when she is outside:)
AntwortenLöschenWhat a beautiful series! I'd love to have you join my Friday's Hunt as part of your Friday linky party ritual.
AntwortenLöschenI love rituals, especially ones which have to do with seasons. I even have ritual meals for the holidays - Ham and black-eyed peas for New Year, stuffed pork chops for Valentine's Day, corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day, Ham and cheesy potatoes for Easter, Mexican food for Cinco de Mayo, fried chicken and potato salad for 4th of July, beef stew for Halloween, turkey for Thanksgiving and either Cornish game hens or prime rib for Christmas. Some think "stuck in a rut". You and I think "ritual".
AntwortenLöschenRituals are good for the soul. My own most favourite ritual of all is wake up to a cup of coffee in bed. Every day. Have a lovely weekend. I quite like mine to be boring after a busy week with the children on holiday. x
AntwortenLöschenOh Mascha...I loved reading about your rituals. We all have them in any season. And your photos of even vignettes of daily things always reflect your amazing artistic sense! Just love your artistry! And yes, that Monastery is gorgeous! Like Tumacacori, near here, I could go once a week and never tire of its fading architecture. Wonderful post!
AntwortenLöschenA beautiful walk through your daily life. So love the monastery setting. I too would be very tempted to wander there regularly, just for the sense of peace and calm. And what a stunning image of your cat in the last photo.
AntwortenLöschenI enjoyed your post and reading about the things that you do. That Monastery was just gorgeous. No wonder you like to spend time there. I liked your kitty photo too. They do have their own ways of doing things.
