Today is A Good Day

Squeezing...

"When you squeeze an orange, orange comes out - because that's what's inside. When you are squeezed, what comes out is what is inside." (Wayne Dyer) 

Merry Christmas!

Priceless Time

"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."
(John Lennon)

A Happy Good Bye

   "Respect yourself to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy."

   So this is the time to say goodbye. But not to you, to the Past! So many good and maybe not so good things happened then... I've lost some friends (where they real friends then?), who couldn't accept or understand my blogging experiments and I've lost some BLOGGER FELLOW ... I renewed forgotten friendships and made the new ones... But the most important, I made a peace with myself.  :)

   It was a moment in my life, when everything suddenly became surreal. Like in a stopped movie, I've found myself between meaningless routines frozen and paralyzed from the scary and uncertain future. Everything was just a big black yelling emptiness mixed with only one question - "But what about my family?!?"... It's like dealing for years with some chronic disease wasn't enough. Weird, how only one visit to the doctor can change all your life...  "Health is not everything, but without it everything is nothing..."

   That's how everything became Black. The color of not having a color, but very important one.

   "Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there's shadow - no, not just shadow, but fullness. You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that is real." (Amy Grant)

   In some amazing way THE LIGHT passed by... It touched me like a miracle, like a hope, like a dream , like a promise, like a LIFE.  For many hours and days, half blind (surgery complications) and in pain I was browsing the pages of unbelievable beauty, repeating to myself that everything is going to be ok. And I will see more beauty which is all around in this world. THANK YOU, LORETA!!! In a  mysterious way, you've saved my soul and my life!

  So this is how my blog was born. Day after day convincing myself, that life is worth to live. That beauty is everywhere, even in this exotic, but very strange to me place. The journey wasn't easy; depending on the day my moods where jumping up and down. Sometimes I needed to force myself with all my powers to do it. Just do it. Day by day. Post by post. Step by step.

   And here I am. Happy and healed. Of course my soul got a bit stained after such experiences, but if I can forgive myself for not being so perfect, maybe you could do it too! At least I made some virtual friends and a few lucky shots. The beautiful power of creativity marked me, and I feel like there is no way back to the life without it, in any shape, idea or form...

   Today I've decided to change it, my blog. I have more life outside the computer screen now, so it will be less posting, and maybe different (or maybe not) style. We'll see. Can't promise anything yet!

   Thank you for your time with me, and for the things I've learned from all of you!

   P.S. Today is my happy birthday :))

 

La Dolce Vita

Fresh

"Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts." (Thich Nhat Hanh)

Time to Enjoy

When it's the time for the acacia tree to bloom outside of my house,  every morning I look so much forward to open windows wide... The softness of the light through the branches softly whispers about something hopeful . The fresh blood of the flowers sings about the joy. My still sleeping soul is smiling, wondering if that's a continuing of my happy dreams.  It's a moment of blissfulness...

Another Day in Paradise

Destination - Gran Canaria

The real daily life is nothing like a holidays, but the philosophy of this video is one to follow, wherever you go!!! 

The Spanish version:

10 Years on the Island...

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.  This is the day your life really begins." (Bob Moawad)

Anyways, such decision has been made long time ago. And today it's nice to have another tree to lean on.   ;-)   Love You.

About Women

"Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece. "   (Unknown)

Taste of Love

La Dolce Vita

Message to my Friends

"Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home."  (Mother Teresa)

  Yes, this is my Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year greeting. I will take my time off. Sharing everything with the ones who's next to me is important, hope for you also. Meanwhile enjoy the holidays time with some pictures from my island. The Canarians are setting up the Nativity scenes and singing, but I will celebrate in my own way, embracing the Nature and enjoying the Life's victory over the darkness . Especially because this is the time when Earth is waking up here. See You next year! 

     
                                                                                         WITH   LOVE,
