FOOLISH IDEAS

...And I feel that there is a very beautiful happy life out there waiting for me still... And I foolishly want to step into it and enjoy all the beauty wonder of it... Could I, would I?.......

"BORN TO BE ALENTEJANA"

• 
  
  

For long long time that  land for me was just a passing place to the beaches of Algarve...Till some in-laws presented the deep, deep Alentejo to me...After, when I developed the taste for shooting pictures, by the hand of a dear good friend, I went over there regularly and felt in love with those large planes so very hot (or extremely cold) and now I dream... (Yeah I still dream, spite my age!) of how good it would be to have even a small home over there to escape to, and enjoy saying like the sign above.........
                                   BORN TO BE ALENTEJANO

Being a mother is for sure Heaven and Hell on earth at the same time... From the moment I was sure that a new being was growing inside me there is no more peace in my mind... Lots of questions, all with difficult answers or very faraway outcomes start assaulting my peace  of mind... And when I had my  baby in my arms, the worries grew...Will he be healthy? happy?  fulfilled and loved? Well succeeded?
My God the things I worried  about... and after all those  worries are forever, till I am no more!...
It is a frightening feeling to carry it  all of our life but it is so good and so different from any other feeling towards other people. parents , husbands, friends that I only can say... lucky the woman that allows herself to suffer in that blessed hell, knowing is...FOREVER!
