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....

FOOLISH THINGS

The truth is that I am starting to use pictures and sentences from others and I'm not liking it cause , turns me lazy but the truth is that I come across them and they are exactly what I want, need to express...

HOW PAINFUL TO FIND IT OUT.... ..AND HOW IT HURTS TO CONFESS EVEN TO OURSELVES!.....

SIILY FEELINGS

Good advice.... Even BETTER advice.., LESSER troubles or problems....

....I'M GOING.... I'M GOING!!! PLEASE JUST WAIT FOR ME A BIT MORE! KEEP SHINNING PLEASE...

And here the beauty and tradition of Alentejo learned to admire, enjoy, and even love.... HOW BEAUTIFUL IS TRADITION

MODERN TIMES

Chinese shops became a must in our country...They are everywhere with their red signs and Chinese characteres and translations do Portuguese like  "Loja da Abundancia" or "Casa da Paz" To my big amusement I found at a small village of Reguengos de Monsaraz this one with this shade to protect the window and an obvious Chinese name...LUCAS... Only the red colour of the letters helps to follow the new trend....LOLL

                                                   L'important c'est la Rose!... C'est la Rose!!...

                                                              

                                                  

                                                   

                                                           CROIS MOI

LUCKILY I LEARNED NOT TO CARE OR NOTICE WHAT (WHEN) THEY INTENTIONALLY DO IT.... AN THAT'S SO DAMN GOOD!!!!

"My Anti-Creativity Checklist" by Youngme Moon

It is really amazing the way things are explained by this woman that I admire more and more each time I discover a new concept of hers... How she teatches people to avoid the type of changing  everything so that everything stays the same...ASTONISHING!!!!

FOOLISH WISHES

Easy?? No way!...But as the song says smile, what the use of crying...and you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you ... SMILE

IT'S HARD TO ACHIEVE BUT ONCE IN A WHILE I GET THERE... OR I BELIEVE I DO....

I don´t believe that a funnier easier way of describing the phases in the life of men can be found.... HELLAS

"Different" by Youngme Moon

HOW I HATE THIS......

 How I hate this...

I go to the supermarket  the shopping center to the hairdresser and what do people talk about???

FOOTBALL

Crisis??? NO WAY... Nothing matters anymore,as long as Portugal wins and gets to the finals....

And I  find myself wishing just the opposite...That they return home defeated and that us people see the real country and the true victory that would be that we would get out of this economical, social and political crisis and turn on the bettering of all aspects that are really important...

WAKE UP PEOPLE...-. AND FORGET ABOUT THE CUP... WE HAVE OTHER GOALS AHEAD

The beauty of the sun, and the simple things we can find if we are attentive to simple details in small places... I just love it!

SILLY QUESTIONS STUPID REPLIES

Why don't most people dare to pose themselves that question about them? Can it be that they would like to meet, talk, interact, fraternize, work, share the same building or the same restaurant? COME ON DARE TO ASK IT TO YOU AND SEE VERY DEEPLY AND IN TRUTH IF THE ANSWER IS YES.... Me I really doubt...Neigh!! It's impossible!" No one in his good mind would like to meet the likes of you trust me...

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!

TO ALL MOTHERS

 

                                 FIRST OF ALL AND IN A VERY SPECIAL

                                 WAY TO THE MOTHER OF MY LOVED

                                  GRAND-DAUGHTER...THANK YOU!!

                     

THINGS NO ONE CAN FORECAST

 ...And suddenly our life that was a calm river down the stream, becomes a waterfall, and we can't help it but to let it run.... And the funny thing is that we look at it and find that is beautiful still, thou so wild....

BRIDGES

LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATERS I WILL LAY ME DOWN

Sometimes I really wish I could act like this...a bridge to unite two margins far apart either over troubled watters or over those who seem calm and quiet but just on the surface...

FOOLISH WISHES

MANIAS

Really I don't agree a bit with those days of this...days of that...women, mother, father and so on!
We are that  every day of the year, and most of our relatives don't even remember by a simple  phone call, a kiss for nothing special...just because!!
Anyhow here I leave this flowers as a simpe gift for those who think and feel like me... we don't need special days! Those who really love us could (and should) make any day a special day, JUST BECAUSE....

RETURNING......

This picture taken long ago on shower day, and forgotten in the camera... Only today it saw the outside light... When I took a good look at it I saw a tree covered in red fruits (?) clean and bright after the rain... And from me, to myself, I said that we are also able, after those heavy showers that life, sometimes give us, to come out of it to a fresh clean (re)start..We just have to want it!
