I wish you all to enjoy this wonderful spring while the trees are in bloom!
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I wrote my last article (lol). I was keeping busy with different things and I haven't realised how fast time is passing. However, few days ago I saw this beautiful flower glowing one of my neighbour's window. I couldn't stand taking a picture of it and share it with you my readers. Hope this flower would light your day as it lights mine, each time I'm passing by.
I wish you all to enjoy this wonderful spring while the trees are in bloom!

"Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you." It's natural for you to want to try to lift your elders' moods, for their sake as well as your own. Sometimes you'll succeed, sometimes you'll fail, but trying rarely hurts. Me for example, I have worked this frame with some senior citizen in my area. After it was done I took a picture of one of them, worked on the picture by adding different icons for fun, thinking she might laugh, but it was the opposite. She wasn't really pleased, as I have omitted she might have suffered from physical and emotional pain. When I've realised, I have worked another picture, as the one you can see above, and she was really pleased and smiled to me. Moreover, she was joking telling me "I forgive you for the other one (lol)"... She was so sweet and I was so happy seeing her smile shining on her cute face again... "I have found that if you love life, life will love you back." Arthur Rubinstein Have a nice day, for I just have it! (lol) One day someone have sad that television it helps your education, once somebody turns it on you leave the room and go in another one for reading a book (lol). Funny, isn't it? Maybe I should try this with my son, leaving all day long the television on going, so he can stay all day long in his room...studying (lol)..just kidding...However, if you have a good book and by chance, a personalized bookmark, you will find yourself twice pleased. A beautiful bookmark follows you on your way through the book as a dedicated servant. Now, talking about good books, these days I came across a very good Italian writer, Baricco Alessandro. I can say, from his first novel, I felt in love with his style of writing. His characters are so intriguing, complex but fabulous. He makes a psychoanalysis of the human nature, showing how people are interconnected, even they might not know each other and live far away one from another. Reading his novels you find similarities with the characters. You live with them though the story, all those desires, fairs, dreams became as yours. My first book I've read of Baricco was "Oceanno Mare" (in Italian, but you can find the book even in English). And through many good phrases, I've found in this novel, is this one I like the most, which I will ask you letting me write it in Italian (lol): "Poi non e che la vita vada come tu la immagini. Fa la sua strada, e tu la tua. E non sono la stessa strada...Io non volevo essere felice, volevo salvarmi per questo che mi sonon sposata...bisognava di andare dalla parte dei desideri. Sono i desideri che salvano. Tu stai con loro e ti salvi..." I will not do the translation because sometime I want to remember that Italian is another language I like so much (lol). All in all I like very much this writer and I'm looking forward to reading all his books. Wish you a good day and good read! Here I am again. This time to share with you something else, something...sweet (lol).. As you've might realized on the headline of this new article, I've used on purpose this long sentence to make..this cake lickerish (lol)... Have you known that this is a popular English idiomatic proverb. "You can't have your cake and eat it (too)" means you cannot possess your cake and it eat. Once you eat the cake is nothing left there, it's gone in your stomach. This proverb can be replace with other words like "you can't have the best of both worlds" or "you can't have it both ways". Having to choose whether to have or eat your cake illustrates the concept of "trade-offs" or "opportunity cost". Now, many people still converse the proverb in their ways by given it the positive sense, which is "having it both ways" or " having the best of both worlds"...Remains to you to succeed, if you know that is your mind which create the reality... Have a ...sweet day! Did you know? Among many stories about how does Valentine Day or 14th of February become the month of romance, there is a very interesting one. It is said that the medieval English poet Geoffrey Chaucer may have invented Valentine's Day. As he often took liberties with history, placing his poetic characters into fictitious historical contexts that he represented as real. No record exists of romantic celebrations on Valentine’s Day prior to a poem Chaucer wrote around 1375. In his work “Parliament of Foules,” he links a tradition of courtly love with the celebration of St. Valentine’s feast day–an association that didn’t exist until after his poem received widespread attention. The poem refers to February 14 as the day birds (and humans) come together to find a mate. When Chaucer wrote, “For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day / Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate,” he may have invented the holiday we know today. Whatsoever will be the meaning of the day, even with a different meaning into the history, lovers still send chocolate and flowers to the beloved one .... So, Happy Valentine to you too, dear reader.... |
