books

books. i’ve many, my bookshelves are overflowing! i read a lot, and i really like to feel the weight of the book in my hands. most of the time i order the hardcopy, or the real book as i like to say. i’ve my kindle that i use mostly when travelling, and now in COVID times i’m using it more, i’m not comfortable in getting books by mail.

i don’t keep all the books i’ve read, only the ones that really touched me and i’m sure i’ll go back to them, so i donate most of my books during the spring, but this year the donation centres around here have stopped receiving books donations. i’ve sorted out the books i want to keep and made this pile for donation. these books are waiting for new hands to hold them.

And you? do you prefer hardcopy or electronic version? do you keep all your books?

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

Square Perspective – Each moment

What you seek is seeking you
Rumi

Wow! It’s July 31^st! And I did it! At least one blog post per day during this month! A perfect farewell for the quarantine, since next month I’m going back to the office.

Thanks so much Becky for the inspiration and gratitude to all of you that followed me in this journey, clicking like or leaving wonderful comments on my posts. I think that in almost 7 years of blogging this is the first time that I posted everyday!

Have a great weekend!

Gardening pleasures

I like gardening – it’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.

cucumber, drops of lemon juice and flakes of mint

It’s wonderful to observe a tiny seed to grow in something beauty as flowers or nutritious as these cucumbers.

Slow Sunday

Slow Sunday! No running, just taking easy. Lots of journaling time, and most of the time indoors, heat wave warning, so keeping cool with journals and books. And you? How is your Sunday so far?

Gratitude Saturday

a cup of coffee in my hands
wet grass under my bare feet
flowers pleasing my eyes
birds singing in joy
a new day, new possibilities!

Have a great Saturday!

Magical

May you touch dragonflies and stars,
dance with fairies and talk to the moon.
Unknown

We have lots of butterflies and bees in the garden, but not so much dragonflies. When I spot one of those, I believe that it’s bringing a message to me, or it’s a sign of transformation, something I need to change.

Magical moments are always welcome!

Side by Side

We did 5.6K today! Side by side! Two summers ago hubby had to carry me from the bed to the bathroom. The recovery path isn’t easy, it takes time, little by little, step by step.

Some of you know what I’m referring to, you were there with me and your love helped me a lot. I still can’t write about it, a nightmare that I need to forget, but I know I should write it down to remind me that I survived, I’m here! As I said, step by step, maybe one day!
