Recording the moment

 Cherishing the simple things in life is something that has been  proven more than once to be a great source of happiness and inner peace.

So... right now

~ guitar tunes are coming from my son's room - it's his weekly guitar lesson

~ calm breathing can barely be heard as hubby is taking a nap

~ coffee and a book for me before getting back to doing laundry

Life's good.

{from the archives. I  think the title of the book fits the mood}

Saturday

I'm thinking...

 two hours of housework should be enough for one day.

Then... some of this

My little guy will attend a robo-workshop something later in the day.

 They'll make a robot and program it so there can be life on Mars! 

 It's the coffee I'll have with a friend at that time that matters.     ;)

I was hoping for some nature tomorrow.

But no. 

That's o.k. There'll be more happy-family-couch-time in the morning. 

Take Care!

PS. Yes, this is the same blanket I've been crocheting for three years.

I'm very close to finishing it, though.

I need to move on!

lunch for one

some good news at the job front;
still waiting, though...

i was home alone a couple of days ago;
i often cook eggs for lunch when i'm alone.

call me weird, but i do like to eat alone in front of the tv sometimes.

 sometimes...

waiting...

job-related news to be announced any minute now;

fingers crossed.

i'll go make something to eat 

to keep me distracted (plus i'm hungry!)

ps. this looks more like a tweet than a blog post 

but not many of my friends have twitter accounts.

update

We have this saying in Greece;

something along these lines:

'when people make plans,

God laughs'

This was supposed to be an easy-going summer for us;

our finances have improved and we were even planning on going on holiday.

We had a long stressful winter - in so many ways that I wouldn't want to get into right now but I will at some point - and the summer would be our chance for a long, deep breath.

It would be... my father-in-law passed away a month ago, after being sick for a couple of months. We tell ourselves that he was lucky to go away so soon. There was no chance of him fighting it and things would only get much worse. 

I started this sentence three times, wanting to describe how I feel and why I feel like this, but... some other time maybe. 

He was a good man.

We spend our days at our villages, taking care of things. I'm at home now for a few days. Looking after myself mostly. I've been ill, too. Nothing serious but there's no time for me when I'm away so I came here with my husband and son. Hubby just left again. I'm planning on resting a lot and playing with my boy, too. We're leaving again tomorrow evening.

I'll be back here on the blog when I'm back here at home.

Take Care!

Hello!

Just wanted to see who's here.

I've been pondering over returning here.

Too much going on right now.

I need some space to unwind.

 Let some pressure out.

We'll see.
