I’m dealing with some health bugs. Nothing too serious, just more of bothering and tiring. I realize how wonderful it is when our physical being is in accordance with our desire to live, love and experience. I’m determined to keep my head high. Easy to say, more difficult to do. Being courageous is the only way to go. It’s actually a mystery why I have the aches that I do. When something is based on subjective feelings, and shouldn’t be there, it can be challenging to bear. You wish it wouldn’t be there, and yet it so clearly is. Paris in her autumn vesture gives me a pat.
When the restless waters hit, the best comfort are your loved and trusted ones. I’m lucky to have some around. I strive to look on the bright side of things. Fine-tune my senses yet more. Think about small pleasures like getting an e-mail talking about real, true-tasting life, or holding a warm cup of chamomile tea just before gently but surely gliding into the night’s sleep’s gentle embrace. I also remind myself of those passing moments spent on a café’s terrace re-living our past-gone escapades and planning future adventures, just for girls.
All these pearls help me keep going when tears would want to burst out. Being sensitive is good, mastering too dramatic of mood swings is even better. I find that life has taught me to take things with more poise. Retreat and return a bit later. Accepting life as it comes and remaining confident. That must be one of our reasons of being here.

Leesa – Thanks for your encouragements. Your plan of having coffee all together sounds great. I’d love to meet Mr. Big Finn. And hook up with you too!
M’man – Olo on jo parempi kuin esimerkiksi viikonloppuna. Suomesta tulleet uutiset eivat kyllakaan nosta mielenalaa. En tunnista maata, jonka jatin taakseni kuusi vuotta sitten.

Upea kuva muuten, tykkaan tuosta valosta ‘qui filtre’ torin keskelta. (Sori tuli sana katkos… en muista mika oli sana suomeksi… )

Sitting in a Parisien cafe sounds wonderful.
