Just living is not enough’, said the butterfly, ‘one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.’ Psalm 139:13-14 ” For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made ; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Another Andersen classic, "Thumbelina" is a delightful tale and at times a bit scary. Inspired by the folktale "Tom Thumb", this one concerns a little thumb-sized lady and her adventures out in the big wide world. You'll never look at moles the same way! So I've decided I'm not as big a fan of Andersen's stories that feature inanimate objects as primary characters as much as I am the others. This one I found rather ho-hum. Though it is amusingly self-deprecating. This morning I woke up to snow. SNOW!!!! after I stopped freaking out about the snow.. I headed to get some breakfast, and as I was sitting there eating breakfast at my hotel… I look outside and see a herd of elk across the street… I wish I could see that everyday… this place is so majestic and beautiful. As well as my new healthy “diet”, i have started getting consistent in the gym again which makes me happy! I am currently running a mile / doing 200 crunches every time i step foot in the gym, and the doing whatever else i have planned for that day!!! I am also loving boxing, i love it especially when ive had a bad day… i can punch all issues away while getting a workout. So its a win win situation!! 🙂

Il ritmo di lettura serrato in quest’occasione non ha certo giovato ad un lavoro del genere, ma non è nemmeno andato ad incidere particolarmente su quella che comunque sarebbe stata la mia valutazione finale. Sono ben 156 i titoli all’interno del volume, eppure non mi sento così “arricchito” dopo l’esperienza. Ammetto che il mio approccio non è stato il medesimo con tutte quante le storie, le più blasonate diciamo, avevano da parte mia un occhio di riguardo in più… ma anche un’aspettativa maggiore. Per le altre è stato diverso, godevano del beneficio del dubbio ma pagavano lo scotto di essere in mezzo a tante altre che avrei dovuto leggere in un lasso di tempo così breve (per via di una gara di lettura e di una mia decisione non troppo azzeccata This is the first story in the collection that I don't remember having heard before. And it is absolutely fabulous. Quite darker than the ones that preceded it as well. To call it the Danish "Rumplestiltskin" doesn't quite do it justice, and I actually think I liked it better than that famous Grimm Brothers' tale. When he was seven years of age, Hans Christian Andersen's official father was paid to serve in the Napoleonic wars, in place of a local landowner. He returned four years later, a broken man, and died in the Spring. Hans's mother was now destitute, with few choices as she was illiterate, so she took in washing, standing waist deep for hours in the icy river, trying to stay warm by taking nips of schnapps. Two years later she married another shoemaker, who took no interest in the young Hans. This fantastic story, set in Switzerland, is one of the best in the collection. Two people, stranded on the island in the little lake, until the Ice Maiden calls the other away. An image both beautiful and haunting.

Ephesians 2:10 ” For we are Gods handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. It's only once you've grown up that you realize that all that urgency to grow up was unwarranted. A reminder to slow down and savor life while you can. His stories often feature children—usually a perfect vision of children who are like miniature adults doing various good things. Sometimes they die too. Sometimes the protagonists do not themselves die, but lose a loved one, and must accept that God is in charge of everything—even when they do not understand the reason. And in this way, through every single story, there seems to be a common thread. the next app I use is FACETUNE. depending on the picture I go in and just do some finishing touches and just enhance details!

Hans began writing poems when he was a teenager, but started to make a name for himself as a short story writer. Published in 1829, his short story called “A Journey on Foot from Holmen’s Canal to the East Point of Amager” became a runaway success. heaven is gaining one amazing warrior horse. she will be missed DEARLY by many, but especially by her favorite little girl. Hans Christian Andersen's first writing projects included a play, a book of poetry and a travelogue. The promising young author then won a grant from the king, and this enabled him to travel across Europe and work on being an author. He wrote a novel about his time in Italy, which was published in 1835, the same year as he began writing his stories—called "eventyr", or "fairy tales"—and often based on ideas from folk tales that he had heard or read as a child. Life is beautiful and full of so many amazing paths and sights to see and ways to learn and there is no way to know what the future will hold or what roads my fabulous journey will take me down. And if i take a different path altogether, so be it. The thing about a journey is you never know what to expect, it’s full of wonderful mysteries and to me- that’s the most amazing part. You never know what you’ll see around the corner, or who you’ll meet or the sights youll see. My earthly destination will always be home- wherever that may be, and you can bet that i plan on seeing some things before i get there.

It’s obvious that this Danish writer had an extremely fertile imagination. Although he wrote many adult books, he loved narrating children’s stories. Corinthians 12:9 ” But he said to me,”My grace is sufficient to you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ power can rest on me.” Beautiful, uncorrupted nature versus the corrupt hustle and bustle of the city. Andersen as environmentalist, perhaps?Someday in a future that only exists in my mind, I can describe to you my version of perfect. The life that constantly plays through my head. On good days and bad, it’s all i think about. My perfect life. I would have a family, a job i love, and enjoy the luxury of traveling to wherever my heart desired. I would live in a big house in the city with no financial worries, a fluffy cat and a small dog named Bentley. This is the life that only exists in my dreams, dreams that I truly can’t wait to happen. You have no reason to be insecure, God is molding you into the perfect person you are meant to be. Be confident in that. For the Lord does NO WRONG, so why would you be insecure and afraid? Everything God does is perfect. Surprisingly sweet, this story of the Chinese Emperor and his obsession with the nightingale took a number of unexpected turns. Andersen was clearly in high spirits when he wrote this one. Iako je prvopomenuto u flaneriji kroz sižee transparentno - treba samo pratiti trajektoriju od "Kresiva", "Divljih labudova", "Svinjara" ili pak "Palčice" do, primerice, "Male sirene" - to ipak ne znači da i njegove ranije bajkovit(ij)e proze približnije usmenim kalupima umnogome ne baštine nešto od ingenioznosti poznijeg Ansersena. Jasni su već tu: 1)izuzetan smisao da se čudesno pospe realističkim, ponekad i izrazito zabavnim, bizarnim, odnosno apsurdno-humornim detaljem: kralj potpećuje svoju obuću/vojnik se ne može suzdržati da ne poljubi princezu, jer ga to jedino i čini pravim vojnikom/do pása pomagača koji na svadbenoj proslavi groteskno kolutaju preuveličanim očima; 2) efektno (iz busije dijegeze) ozračivanje bilo satirično-ironičnim bilo refleksivnim komentarom - zašto kvariti iznenađenjca!; 3)odstupanje od (upisanog) maskulinizma kolektivnih gatki, budući da je fabulativni prostor ustupljen delatnim junačicama - ne Palčić, nego Palčica!; 4)neizbrisivim hororičnim sekvencama - žanrovski gledano, prema Munitiću, horor upravo i proizlazi iz bajke - ne bi li nabrala koprivu, heroina "Divljih labudova" će svaki put morati proći kroz stravično grobljansko uprizorenje, dok je Palčicino buđenje iz ušuškanog sna u primoravajuću udadbu za žabu krastaču i obećani život u rečnom mulju, egzistencijalno grozomorno, sa istovetnom silinom prilikom svakog narednog čitanja... U najkraćem: i kod ranijeg Andersena odavno smo u zabranu autorske bajke, čiji je ovaj - ne držite me baš strogo za reč, mada za mene jeste, iako nije! - rodonačelnik. but sea world was so so fun! I was up in San Antonio for a party that my boss was throwing and before I left I wanted to do something fun. so I decided that sea world would be fun! I got to sea word about lunch so I got parked and I took a pic of where I parked for fear that I would forget and get lost trying to find my car later lol!

Hebrews 4:16 ” Let us then approach Gods throne of Grace with confidence, so we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” This is a simple little story but I liked it all the same. One of Andersen's more famous, it has been at last been rendered into English with the correct title (previously this was widely known in English as "The Princess AND the Pea"). A princess who's able to feel a pea beneath 20 mattresses and 20 quilts?? Why, that's something special indeed! How the pea didn't get squashed is something I would have enjoyed learning. This is a sort of story within a story, one involving matches and some dishware, and the other the titular trunk and a Turkish engagement. If only our rich merchant's son could have resisted the urge to set off those fireworks... Traveling. One of my absolute favorite things to do!! This year i am making it a priority to take a weekend trip atleast once a month! So in January, Skylar and I took a road trip to Port Aransas which was super fun. And this month Chelle and I took a trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which was a BLAST!!!!

widdie was and will always be the light of whitneys life and whitney will always remember her as the best horse that ever walked this earth. which is true. this mare is so special. On art and those who would seek to eradicate it. Used during WWII by the Danish Resistance. Without art, without culture, there is nothing. One can once again see evidence of Andersen's suppressed desires in the Snowman's desperately wanting to be with the Stove. Something that European society at the time would have certainly found most unnatural.
