FOOLISH WISHES

Someday my Christmas will as white as this

CHRISTMAS LOOKS

A CHRISTMAS WISH

WINTER TIME

IT'S RAINING AND FEEL COLD AND LONELY AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S RAINING ALL OVER THE WORLD...

STATE OF MIND

Just like me at the moment

 Head in the air but feet buried on the ground!!

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Let's climb these hard days before the Christmas... They pass so quick yet so hard to endure as we age and lost many friends and family on the way

MOTHERLY LOVE AND RELIGION

I am not (God forgives!) a very religious person (never were!) and as time , life, and some knowledge acquired, I lost more ~ and more that religious feeling. But my most loved son is Godson of Saint Anthony of Lisbon (Padova?).... And during my trip to Italy I really wanted to pray for him at Padova Cathedral...And spite my religious doubts I was overwhelmed over the beauty and grandeur of that Chathedral... May St.Anthony forgive my religious doubts and listen to my prayers. In that environment all prayers are really felt and full of meaning!

GOING TO THE MARKET

In Venice all life is done (and depends) on gondolas and and canals! Just like this market that sailed in to a "watter" street after sundown...
What a marvelous feast it was for my amazed eyes!!!

...AND SUDDENDLY IT'S BACK AGAIN...

Seems it was yesterday, but Christmans is back again! We can feel it on the streets,  at the windowshops, and spit the so well known crisis, even on the faces of people passing bye... Like every year since I know myself... THE MAGIC IS BACK FOR A WHILE!

Things life teatches me

                                 The way I wish I could face life......

MISSING "MY" ITALY

Looking over and over at the photos I took and wishing it was around the corner to go there whenever I liked.

THINGS I LEARN FROM LIFE

Learning with life

      HAVE A VERY LOVELY HAPPY DAY

FOOLISH WISHES

Why this neverending need for sailing AWAY???....

MY TRIP TO ITALY (ONCE MORE)

c

And the sunflower at the window!!!

GOOD ADVISES ALWAYS WELLCOME

Advise from a friend that I promise to do my best TO FOLLOW!!!!

MORE OF THE SAME

And some marvelous corners swimming in the warmth of the sunlight!!

...SAME THEME...MORE CHARMS...

And what to say about the charm of "Italian Straw Hats"

...AGAIN MY DREAM JOURNEY...

Last Carnival is long past and the next one is still far away... But on this window shop was very much alive...So much that I was unable to resist this picture...

...AND THE GONDOLAS....

 

...And the gondolas... I wish I could have seen it on the time they were not a tourist attraction, but just a way of moving aroud before the watter taxis, the buses and so on... all watter transportation they invented to leave gondolas for tourists... I can imagine them and the clotings and I miss all I've never seen... Me and my ETERNAL nostalgia for what I never knew!!!!!

VENICE UPSIDEDOWN

A very unusual vision of the well known watch of Venice Watch Tower.... Just a reflection on S.Marcus place that was still flooded in spite of the 30ºC that I felt and thermometer marked at 10a.m. Pitty a slight wind and the lots of tourists jumping the watter didn't allow the picture I wanted to take... That's what was possible under the circunstances!!! But I like it JUST THE SAME!!!!!!

HIDDING FROM THE HOT WEATHER

During summer, if not on the beach I tend to be behind close doors, hibernating, avoiding the extreme hot... I like the summer but I feel physically better if I don't go out during the hottest hours....For some reason I putted my blog aside also!! Back now after a marvelous trip to Italy. Perhaps I'll show some of the photos and comment on what I've seen and felt...

FOOLISH FEELINGS

Those are the colours I wish would colour the rest of my life from now on... Gold over blue... My beloved M. seems to be developing a tender sweet relation with me and I have a sense of belonging and even being more understood and known as the person I really am... Both M&M give me feeling of more appreciation,,,Could it be true?... And even my Love and Reason to be alive my beloved C. seems to make an effort to soften up for it could last forever, but for the moment (and live is made of moments!) EVERYTHING SEEMS COMING MY WAY... Which is such novelty for me!

                                                    I AM HAPPY

MODERN TIMES

Still remember well the beginning of the mobile mania...I had one brick black, heavy, and that needed 2 loaded batteries, or it wouldn't last all my working day...It was a novelty and we had no much choice about ring tones... General idea was to have a phone at reach whenever needed... Things evolved so quickly that it became a sign of status... So the ring tones and the call rings became a sign of difference (and of incoming for others!).... This cartoon shows the side effects of too many call rings trying to be ORIGINAL!...

GOOD SUGGESTIONS

There are no formulas for happiness... (and what is IN FACT happiness?) But I came across this scheme, by mere chance and it made all the sense, at least for me, naive as I still manage to stay....
