WHEN NEW COMES, THE OLD ONE WILL BE DECLINED; THE FINAl STEP!

Standard

Honestly, I never envisioned myself writing a trilogy on this subject. Yet, here I am. While the first two entries were brief updates on my situation, I feel compelled to elaborate further and shed more light on this occurrence. I cited a quote from Dr Jung on “change” as we recently upgraded our kitchen. To be frank, I usually resist change unless it’s necessary. I’m content with older things as long as they still work. Thus, I saw no reason to remodel our kitchen since it was still working properly.

Of course, there is another quote from Jung about this subject which I admire as well:

With heartfelt thanks to Petra Glimmdall

Anyway, my adorable wife, though, has a different approach. She is not very patient and cannot tolerate things for too long. For example, our kitchen was almost thirty years old ( I must admit it is aged!), and she couldn’t stand it anymore. Being the boss most of the time, she took action, and I had to play the role of the working-class hero. 😎😉

Before ☝ Afterwards👇

I must acknowledge that all the efforts have paid off, and the outcome appears satisfactory, potentially lasting another 30 years!

As a follow-up, I would like to discuss the impact of mental exercises after engaging in physically demanding activities. Some individuals may not require extensive physical exertion to achieve this effect. Engaging in physical activity allows the mind, or more accurately, the soul, to relax. As a result, one may feel wholly drained with no creative thoughts flowing, but instead, a sense of inner peace. I believe this is valuable information to keep in mind.

We may have less money, but we are much happier having a brand-new kitchen. It feels like a well-deserved reward. 😅💖🙏

After that achievement, I’ll be kidnapped again the following weekend, including the week ahead, towards the North Sea, so you know!
And I say goodbye to you with a two-chord song from my buddy fellow, John.

    It’s beautiful! Vic and I worked on our old place for 30 years and it could use a new interior paint job since that last happened about 2008 after replacing walls, cabinets, and all the rest. I don’t have the heart for it, but you make me reconsider. Have a wonderful rest.

  5. Wow! What a difference a new kitchen makes! It’s wonderful, Aladin. Who knew what the old would become?! And when I transfer this thinking onto human beings, I guess I’m talking about the power of change and rebirth … because when I think of my old life in comparison to my new life (at many different ages and stages of my life), I’ve changed on the inside and outside so much, I’ve been renovated too! Perhaps this is one way to view your new kitchen, that it is an outer manifestation of all your growth and renovations too! Love and light, Deborah.

    • Yes, lovely sister. You are talking about changes as gathering experiences and getting a wiser look at all these. I absolutely agree with you. We just have to practice these new facilities to get accustomed to them! 😅😉 Thank you so much, and blessings.🤗😘

    • Agreed! Of course, not only for my hard-working but also for my agreement towards her wishes for renewal (harmony!). However, I know that femininity is the soul full of colours in men’s life. Much appreciated, dear Jeane.🙏💖🌹

  7. Your kitchen looks very cool Aladin…it looks like you’ve passed through the Negredo, the dark night of the soul of having the kitchen ripped out and facing change, transforming into the Albedo, whitening process 🙂 Btw- great choice of music!
