Description
I thank you all for looking, wish you all a nice Weekend, take care and stay healthy.
My grandmother gave me this tip once:
When times are tough, take small steps.
Do what you have to do, but do it slowly.
Don't think about the future or what may happen tomorrow.
Clean the dishes.
Wipe the dust off.
Write a letter.
Chef's soup.
You see that?
You go forward, step by step.
Take a step and then pause.
Take a rest.
Cherish yourself.
Take the next step.
Then take another step.
You'll hardly notice it, but your stride will become longer.
Until the time comes when you can think of the future again without crying.
(Elena Mikhalkova, "The Room of Old Keys".)
Ma grand-mère m'a donné ce tuyau une fois :
Lorsque les temps sont durs, faites de petits pas.
Faites ce que vous avez à faire, mais faites-le lentement.
Ne pensez pas à l'avenir ou à ce qui pourrait arriver demain.
Faites la vaisselle.
Essuyez la poussière.
Écrivez une lettre.
La soupe du chef.
Vous voyez ça ?
Vous avancez, pas à pas.
Faites un pas, puis faites une pause.
Reposez-vous.
Chérissez-vous.
Passez à l'étape suivante.
Alors, faites un pas de plus.
Vous le remarquerez à peine, mais votre foulée s'allongera.
Jusqu'au moment où vous pourrez à nouveau penser à l'avenir sans pleurer.
(Elena Mikhalkova, "La chambre des vieilles clés").

Thank you Tracesl!
Elle avait bien raison moi qui ai vécu une dizaine d'années dans le sud de la France je confirme la vie est plus douce de cette manière très photo fais attention à toi Ute
J'ai grandi dans un petit village agricole, ma grand-mère avait 2 vaches, 2 cochons, 6 poulets et un petit potager et verger, elle faisait encore son propre beurre, fromage, confiture et choucroute et mon grand-père allait travailler dans les mines de charbon pendant la journée, mes grands-parents ont mon plus profond respect!
I grew up in a small farming village, my grandma had 2 cows, 2 pigs, 6 chickens and one no small vegetable and orchard, she still made her own butter, cheese, jam and sauerkraut and my grandpa went to work in the coal mines during the day, my grandparents have my deepest respect! 
Splendid image!
Thank you again for your comments on both images!
Excellent image and tribute, the composition is super, hinting at an untold story.
Many thank's dear Joe!!
Beautiful tribute, love it!
Muchas gracias Ines!
Amazing work! I like it a lot!
Thank you for your kind comment!
tres belle image et homage j aime bien
Merci pour ton aimable commentaire!
C'est une touchante dédicace à nos grands-parents et à nos ancêtres qui ont contribué à construire ce monde extraordinaire dans lequel nous vivons. Malheureusement, nous sommes témoins de sa destruction à cause de la cupidité illimitée des élites.
Moi je le sais, des milliers de gens le savent, des millards de gens continuent à mettre leur tete dans le sable...(et il y on a meme encore qui continuent à applaudir leur président devenu complètement taré - CNNnews)!
Wonderful image, a very wise grandmother!
Thank you for your kind comment!
Un très bel hommage à ta grand-mère! Moi qui n'ai jamais connu aucun de mes grands-parents, j'aurais bien aimé en avoir de si sages!
Ca c'est vraiment domage cher Jean, la vie est parfois un jeux bizare et injuste!
Dianne Reeves and Lou Rawls were two of my favourite singers! I stayed up more than 24 hours to see Lou at the Albert Hall in London! I passed a Kenny G venue on the bus after the concert was over!
Great to know that, I just love them too!
Great dedi and words to live by in these times.
I thank you again for your kind comment!
and i bet she was a wonderful women great scene
Yes, she was a very special one!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Nicely done with beautiful message!
Thank you for your kind comment!
Lovely scene! A hunter gatherer hard a work! Most excellent depiction! Bravo!
Thank you for your lovely comment hon!
Excellent art and tribute to your grandmother and her sage words, Ute. Let us all end up during and after this Covid nightmare all hale and hearty.
Great Idea, if....who knows what will come next!?! Makes me very angy!
Marvellous tribute to your grandmother!
Thank you very much!
Both of these images are awesome, but I think I prefer the other one.
WOW...Marvelous tribute ...Outstandingly done !!! 👍🖐
What a beautiful image, and inspiring words, Ute! So moving and lovely! Stay well, both of you!
Thank's hon, you both too! I'm going to bed now it's already 2 o-Clock in the morning! :
Fantastic tribute to your grandmother.
She was a beautiful and wise woman.
💐🌹💐
Un excellent photo-montage avec un beau postwork ! A l'époque de nos grands parents, la vie était plus dure physiquement mais les gens étaient pourtant plus heureux qu'aujourd'hui, car aujourd'hui nous n'apprécions pas ce que nous avons et il nous manque toujours quelque chose...
Merci cher Gilles pour ce magnifique commentaire!
A wonderful tribute. She actually looks like my Grandma. The poem is perfect... it says a lot abut life and how to gracefully deal with stressful times. Thank you for posting this.
