Hallo,
so, nun ist er also da - der August. Wenn ich nur wüsste, wo die vorherigen 7 Monate geblieben sind? *grübel*
... my, here it is - August. If I only had an idea where the previous 7 months have gone to? *think*
Aber nun nicht lange überlegt, wir haben Monatsanfang und das bedeutet Arbeit - vor allem für einen Gentlebären wie mich, denn wie immer ist es Ehrensache für mich, meiner Birgit bei der Umstellung ihrer unzähligen Kalender zu helfen. Schauen wir also mal, was unser Sprüchekalender uns im August sagen möchte... Nun, zunächst einmal zeigt er uns wieder mal ein sehr schönes Bild - und der Spruch passt dazu: "Der Weg zum Glücklichsein führt über die Brücke der Zufriedenheit." Leider wurde kein Autor angegeben, schade, für so einen schönen Satz muss man sich doch gar nicht schämen... *schmunzel*
But no more pondering, it's the beginning of yet another month and that means business - especially for a gentlebear like me, of course it's a question of honor to me helping my Birgit to switch her countless calendars. Let's have a look what our wisdom calendar wants to tell us in August... Well, at first it shows us another lovely picture - with a matching saying (As always no quotations, I'm trying to say it in my own poor English) which tells us that the way to happiness leads over the the bridge of contentment. Sadly there's no mentioning of the author - although I think noone should have to be ashamed for such a lovely saying... *smile*
Aber wie immer habe ich noch andere schöne Gedanken zum Monatsstart für Euch heraus gesucht. Falls die Brücke der Zufriedenheit einmal durch irgendwelche Hindernisse blockiert sein sollte, dann hilft vielleicht diese Erkenntnis von Mark Twain weiter: "Lachen bricht alle Widerstände". Wichtig ist aber auch, dass man sich nicht stressen lässt, denn wie der arabische Dichter Amrilkais schon vor vielen, vielen Jahrhunderten erkannt hat: "Gott hat dem Menschen die Zeit gegeben, aber von Eile hat er nichts gesagt." Tja, das solltet Ihr Menschen vielleicht öfter mal berücksichtigen, wir Bärchen sind da besser dran, wir sind von Natur aus gemütlich... *lach* Lasst also mal die Hektik außen vor, ganz im Sinne vom deutschen Schriftsteller Paul Keller, der gesagt hat: "Der Sommer macht den Menschen zum Träumer."
But as usual I've found some more nice thoughts for the month's beginning for you. If somehow the bridge of contenment should be blocked by some obstacles maybe a thought of Mark Twain can be helpful who said laughter breaks all resistances. And it's also important not to get stressed as Arabian poet Amrilkais pointed out many, many centuries ago when saying God gave time to people but he didn't say anything about haste. Yes, that's something you human beings should remember more often, we bearies are on the luckier side, we're comfy by nature... *LOL* So let the hustle and bustle outside right in the sense of German author Paul Keller who said summer makes people become dreamers.

Zum Schluß habe ich noch ein gutes Rezept für Euch, eine Weisheit aus Schweden: "Wir sollten das Beste hoffen, auf das Schlimmste gefasst sein und es nehmen, wie es kommt." Das finde ich sehr sinnvoll - lasst uns also versuchen, auf dem Weg zum Glücklichsein die Brücke der Zufriedenheit ohne Eile zu überqueren und dabei unsere Träume nicht zu vergessen... und dann nehmen wir es, wie es eben kommt.
At the end I have one more good recipe for you, a wisdom coming from Sweden: Hope for the best, expect the worst and take it as it comes. That's the spirit - so let's try to cross the bridge of contentment slowly without any hectic on our way to happiness without forgetting about our dreams... and then we're going to take it as it comes.
Und bevor ich es vergesse... ich wollte Euch noch erzählen, dass Birgit unsere Blogseiten endlich mal aktualisiert hat. Das wurde auch wirklich Zeit - auf der Seite von der Hexenturm-Crew haben ja so viele wichtige Charaktere gefehlt, das ging ja gar nicht. Nun ist das "Who-is-who" komplett, was ich aber noch viel wichtiger finde... es gibt auch eine neue Seite mit Bildern von meinem Strawberry Cottage. Ach, ich bin doch wirklich das Flatterbärchen mit dem schönsten Zuhause auf der ganzen weiten Welt. Also, falls jemand Lust hat, da mal nachzuschauen, die Seiten finden sich ganz oben unter unserem Header. Und nun wünsche ich Euch allen einen wunderschönen August - auf dass die Brücke der Zufriedenheit sich mit Blogfreunden fülle! *lach*
And before I might forget about that... I still wanted to tell you that Birgit finally managed to update our blog-pages. That was about time - on the page of our witch tower crew there have been so many important characters missing, that was an absolute no-go. But now the "who-is-who" is complete and whatsmore... there's also a new page with pictures of my Strawberry Cottage. My, I am indeed the flutterybeary with the most beautiful home in the whole wide world. So, if anyone might be interested to have a look then you'll find the pages right on our blog's top under our header. And now I'm wishing to all of you a fantstic August - may the bridge of contentment be crowded with blogfriends! *LOL*

Hello Flutterby,
words of wisdom indeed! L:ife is all about rolling with the punches. Is it bad of me that I am already thinking of Christmas...
Big hug,
Giac
Well, since I am naturally a Dreamer already, I am easily brought to agree with this month's Proverbs! And I must confess that while I have No Idea where the other seven months went... I am still willing to Dream slowly as I go contentedly over Any bridge for this is still Summer!!! And I am glad to say that I am getting to look forward to seeing Flutterby introducing each month in such a Lovely way that it Entirely makes up for any feeling we might have that they are passing too quickly!
As for Certain People Mentioning the "C" word in the Summer... I will confess that it is when I start to wonder what my Card for this year will be like.... So even the Dreams are sometimes Rushing ahead...!
Hugs to you all, guys! ;)
I know how it is to be late with up dating ALL the pages! I did that lately and thought of doing a little bit more...;)
Have a great August, dear Brigit!!!!!
Hugs and kisses

Sayings of great wisdom, Flutterby and I guess it will be very crowded on that bridge too ;)!
August, hmmm.........wasn't that a special month for an important someone, Flutterby :D???
Now I have to go and see who is who :D!!
Big hgs for all of you, Schepje and Ilona
Soso... Der Weg zum Glücklichsein führt also über die Brücke der Zufriedenheit... Man sagt ja auch "es gibt keinen Fahrstuhl zum Glück, man muss schon die Treppe nehmen" ... also offensichtlich hat man immer einen mehr oder weniger langen und beschwerlichen Weg vor sich bevor man sein Glück findet... ABER jeder Weg wird schöner und leichter, mit einem Freund an deiner Seite ;-)
Liebe schönen- August- Grüße
Melli
