Choices

" The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it." (Cris Pine)

Must have

"Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."  (H.C.Andersen)

The Spring

"Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment." (Ellis Peters)

Today is A Good Day

   "Sometimes, the simple things are more fun and meaningful than all the banquetes in the world..."  (E.A.Bucchianeri)

       

Good Morning!

   "I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything.So if I´m going to learn, I must do it by listening." (Larry King)

The New Hopes

   Standing on the line between the past and the future... Some things decayed, some just starting to spring up. Growing and blooming, exposing the roots and naked branches, creating shades and shapes, drying out and stretching upward... But being. Always being here. Such a nice forest of different bloggers and friends!!! Lets hope that all Gods and the Mother Nature will be generous. To You, to me, to all and everyone. Happy New Year!

Transition

   "How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be." (Elizabeth Lesser)

   ...or at least to take us where we meant to be...

   See You when I'll cross that bridge!

Colourful Clouds

"Gray skies are just clouds passing over." (Duke Ellington)

 Does this colour mean something permanent???????????

My Cake :)

Birthdays are Nature's way of telling us to eat more cake :)

"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" (Satchel Paige)

Summertime

"Summertime is always the best of what might be." (Charles Bawden) 

Behind the Curtains

"To be admitted to Nature's heart costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain." (Henry David Thoreau) 

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) 

Listening to the God

...

"In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you." (Deepak Chopra)

Rebuilding

"When one has finished building the house, he suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something  that he really needed to know, in the worst way, before one began." (F. Nietzsche)

Merry Christmas!

Reward for the Patience

"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience."   (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

A Problem-free Philosophy :)

Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!

Hakuna matata! Ain't no passing craze...

I wish You no worries for the rest of your days :)
(At least for all weekend!)

Evening comes

"Each morning sees some task begun,

Each evening sees it close;

Something attempted, something done,

Has earned a Night's repose."

( Henry Wadsworth Longfellow )

 

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 :))
