TAKING STOCK
TAKING STOCK











































As seen at Syd's one and only blog.

Making : school lunches that come back home more or less touched
Cooking : hopes and dreams on a large saucepan bringing them
to a fast boil 
Drinking : hot cocoa
Reading: lots of important stuff for my Diploma. And magazines. Blogs too.
Wanting: family vacation we skipped this year. Unplanned and exotic.
Looking: for words and ways to express them
Playing: hide and seek with destiny
Wasting: paper because we draw, cut, glue, fold so the leftovers always appear
Sewing: family ties
Wishing: for less overwhelming thoughts and headaches. More room for emotions.
Enjoying: time spent with Nadia - bedtime, playtime, cuddle time. Another year to savor.
Waiting: for those I love to get home - Damian from work, Nadia from kindergarten
Liking: subtle discoveries on my body - grey hair, beauty spots, unexpected bruise. I overuse our mirrors.
Wondering: when all the pieces of advice will come in handy
Loving: deep, healthy sleep after a busy shift or staying too late at night
Hoping: that today will be finally THAT day
Marveling: at what a four year old is capable of saying at one breath
Needing: dying my hair
Smelling: Nadia's freshly shampooed hair. Sometimes it's peach extract, sometimes kiwi fruit.
Wearing: comfortable ensemble with well-fitted tops
Following: the craziest toddler's ideas
Noticing: dear people around me
Knowing: a little bit more about myself every day
Thinking: way in advance
Feeling: loved
Bookmarking: Everything worth coming back to
Opening: eyes way too early in the morning
Giggling: at all things satisfactory and less so. Really refusing not to giggle at all times.
Feeling: content

inspiration is inspiration























Every single day starts the day before. In mind, through emotions if awaiting something special. 

'Sometimes life is about getting things done. At the moment however, the focus is on broadening your horizons in general, and on exciting encounters and worthwhile ideas in particular.' I am always in awe of how true and surprisingly accurate monthly horoscopes are sometimes. I don't usually believe in what they say, however when they say how it is, I truly get the feeling somewhere in the stars there is the energy, a helping hand creating my life, a sensitive eye watching my every step. I have always been fascinated by human thought and the power of one's mind - any way of thinking, an attitude attracts the same occurrence, thoughts carve our reality, by using positivity we can influence good affairs to come. Probably you've already sensed the book resting its back next to my bed being a great source of energy/mood booster among these walls - 'Secret' by Rhonda Byrnes.

Life goes on outside the web if I like it or not where negativity and bad attitude is rarely allowed but happening with the same consistency as in other households and no matter how creatively I pull myself out, there is always a snippet of life getting it its way. No big deal, I have two sets of arms to hold me in and kissable lips I'm never short of to ease the burden, help me take one step at a time, sometimes two, always in the right direction. Occasionally I risk it and let my mind wander in dangerous areas of doubting good things to come. And then comes my motivator, a 'big strong hand to lift me to my higher ground' - I turn its pages drawing every word, saving notes, visualizing things. Because it's not easy to see one thing and believe in other but what's the choice? If you believe in Secret or not, it's always better to aim for optimistic positive approach, right? Wake up and feel reasonably good about things ahead and around, right? Outer circumstances shouldn't dictate the mood I'm in, the choices I make.  

Can anyone stop you from doing what you want? Poor will be the man wanting to achieve this once you've decided on your happiness.
