Art & Coffee



3 things that always brighten me up, when i have a little down phase during the day:

Bright colors - especially playing with them - like music
Fresh coffee - not much of it, but an espresso can really work magic sometimes ... and it smells so good, too!
Deep breathing - i like to stretch  with my arms up, deeply filling my lungs - yes! Every 20 minutes is good, especially during computer work.

Have a bright and lovely start to your week flowers - and  - let's dance!

  1. HAPPY SUNDAY MARTINA!

    I just got home from being out on a bright and beautiful day, and here you ARE! I agree; bright colors, the things you love (coffee or tea, ice cream!!!) and breathing and taking one thing at a time are always great ways to keep that TWINKLE in your step.

    WISHING YOU a great start to a new week as well my dear friend. Anita

  6. Hi Martina

    I am back after a longish but refreshing break. Loved your colorful post. My day always starts with a cup of freshly brewed aromatic South Indian decoction coffee. Have a great week ahead. Best Wishes Ram

  12. I love a good long Stretch. And always love taking deep breaths outside in the cool morning air...LOL, but I will let you have the coffee. Never could drink it. Instead... what I reach for first, is a lovely diet coke...Nothing like rusting your insides out with...LOL
