Having a sister

 

I was born as the younger sister. My sister was born as the only child. Then I arrived and changed her life.I could look at those two photos forever.

Have a lovely weekend!

Intense Days

This song, the voice, the woman  - I love everything about Katie Melua


The last days and weeks can only be described as intense days with a lot of coincidences. Ich habe sogar mein erstes Posting auf Deutsch veröffentlicht.
Plus I've received my 39th follower during my last days as a 39er.

To calm down a bit I listen to Katie. Over and over again. I saw her first in the quite boring TV-show "Fernsehgarten" (weekend morning-programme). I remember when I first saw her on the stage, this tiny woman with this magnificent voice and I thought "Who is she? Where does she come from?" Heavenly. Maybe I reached the age where women love wonderful young women?

See you in June, when I've entered the fifth decade of my life!

Positive Bias

Is it ok to like some people more than others, just beause they come from a region/area/city you love?

I noticed I see people through filters. One of the filter is called country/city of provenance.

Usually prejudices work the other way round, in the negative way. No? Over the last years I've met people from other countries and cities and I have the strong feeling that I  like them for where they come from. Japanese - I love them. People from Paris, Hamburg, Scotland ... I like you all!

I know the love of many women in the US for the cities of Florence and Paris. But people? Do you know "the love for people from certain cities"? Do you feel the same or are you immune against positive bias?

 

 

Lately my father has been busy digitizing our photo archives. I love his views. Quite late - he is in his 70's - I am finally recognizing his creative vein. Better late than never. 

I was born in NYC. Besides early childhood memories not much is left to connect me with this city. Today I am deeply connected with Vienna. Over the past years I've noticed some positive bias towards Vienna and probably the Viennese, too in the comments. Which means I am not alone with my positive bias. You have to trust me, you are so right to love anyone living in Vienna! :)
