What’s missing?

It is a cloudy day, raining coming and going. Silence. I’m in the living room looking through the window, trying to find words, organizing my thoughts. 

I baked a cake and read a few pages. My thoughts are coming and going as the rain. I don’t have stillness; I need someone, something.

I open my laptop, my blog, and jump to the reader. Sadje’s question pops up: Is anything missing from your life? 

Myself! 

I don’t have doubts, my answer is: I miss myself. 

I miss the years which went by so fast, I miss the opportunities I didn’t take, I miss the time I could have spent close to the people I loved, I miss the past. I got lost on the journey. I miss myself, the true-self who is masked by a pretense of being a daughter, wife, mother, employee …, many layers hiding myself. 

Who am I when I’m disrobed of all the titles above? 


Autumn’s delish

Hello my friends, I hope you are enjoying the new season. Autumn started yesterday here in Canada. I’m so glad it was a Sunday and I could sleep in and I had a delicious breakfast which included pumpkin pie and my homemade plum jam. I also decorated the table with a white pumpkin, it is a tradition for me, every year I buy 3 white pumpkins, I keep them on one of my windowsills during the season. I had a wonderful creamy coffee in my pumpkin mug.

The weekend was beautiful, surprising warm for this time of year and wonderful for going out and taking photos.

These are a few shots from the weekend.

Well, a new week is starting, I hope to keep the weekend vibes with me, I know it is impossible, but I’ll try my best.

Have a great new season!

WDYS – Waiting

The suitcases are long packed with memories. I’m waiting. The leather is as wrinkled as my skin. Scars of the time. I wait as the years turn into days, the days into hours and hours into minutes. The hurry from the youth stealing my balance, my breath going away. I wait for …

New Season

Hello everyone, long time since I showed up here. I thought it was time to catch up. 

Spring and summer went by in a hurry. It feels like yesterday when the first blooms were starting to show up in my garden. I’m writing this post and looking at the yellow leaves on the ground. Yes, Autumn is coming with all the coziness and beautiful colours of the season.

I wish my creativity and inspiration get a booster as well. I haven’t done much in the last few months, all my projects were put on hold. It was like taking a break from myself and focusing on work and family. I miss my ‘me time’ and just realized I also miss myself. 

Missing myself,  it’s such an interesting feeling. I feel disconnected from my values, simplicity and joy. I didn’t journal, run, or go out with my camera in the summer. These are the stuff I’m missing; the time and the fun of doing something just for me. 

I have been reading a lot, 36 books only this year, but it’s an intake of information. While reading I’m not producing anything, I’m not creating, or expressing myself. 

Last weekend I went out, I left my cocoon and wandered around the neighbourhood with my camera. It was nice to connect to nature and with myself.  

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the change of the seasons.
