My holidays, (the needless information of the day) were quiet, calm, lazy and full of family moments and some time for my friends, moreover the ones that I really longed to see and hadn't for months. That's the idea of holidays, isn't it? Time was consumed by all the essays and books I had to read, all the presentations, needing to be finished and the team projects, you know... team work on holidays, when all get back to their base and scatter all over the place, as the snowflakes while falling!
Snowflakes, that's a thing that I didn't see... a bit unusal for the weather we're used to, here. A touch of magic was missing but cold wasn't... These few days though, the weather is more like spring. I'm feeling like I'm going to take pictures of flowers blossoming.
The preperations for christmas and all the decorations were made pretty early, as always. And not for shopping and all the materialism!!!
Yes, I decorate everything, toooo early, but not because I want to spend money, not because I'm brain washed from all the ads, as some say... but because I love this time of the year, for all that it represents, family, union, birth, peace, love, friends, food, lights, quiet! (and even more). I love the lights that are everywhere, the shops that eventhough have few customers, (coz of the crisis) have decorations and hope and are smiling... everyone is smiling, getting ready for magical night walks, under the bright stars and the cute lightbulbs, the trees and all the santas and snowmans, above the frosted pavewalks. That's the spirit I've been enjoyning these months and I've got plenty of pictures to upload.
I hope that this year will be full of health, love and whatever, each and everyone o you, really, needs... Maybe the year that past, wasn't as we believed it'd be, perhaps people left from our lives, or somethings didn't go as planned, but all happened for the best! Life is full of surprises, so no matter how tired we might be feeling at the moment, we must always move forwars, as all the new and nice things and people, are infront of us and behind is our past. Let's cherish every moment, every memory, every laughter or cry, because all had a different meaning and taught us different things, let's put them in a suitcase, take by the had, our loved ones but mostly, ourselves, and get ready for the new trip, for the new year. May we all have the power to make our dreams come true, in 2016
but even if we don't, it might be for the best ;) Happy (late) NEW YEAR!!!
I hope your days were magical, I'd want to see how you spent them and have a nice evening.
