People who are optimists
are more likely to succeed
in activities they take up in life
I have the feeling that my blogs may have left you with the impression that I am a pessimist . Wrong ! Despite my self-doubts and occasional depressions, I remain an optimist - a little bit worn out by life but still treasuring the glow of positive thinking.
I made a short list of things that make me feel uncomfortable at the moment but am trying to view positively :
1. The shortest day of the year is coming but after that days begin to lengthen.
2. New Year is the peak of winter, but then summer is on its way.
3. I fetch my wood up the 4th floor each day but that's a good exercise for my heart and limbs. I can have a conditioner but then I won't have the smell of nature and the heat of summer in my home amidst winter.
4.I have times when I've been treated badly in life but I still believe that I can evoke the good in most of the people.
5. My teacher's salary is still miserable but I have you, friends, and I am rich...
My list is open. May be you will help filling it in ? How do you overcome your bad moments and inconveniences ?
C H E E R S !!!

I can't understand what's going on on FF ! I cited 10 of my students' comments in my blog and FF has printed only 2 of them . I edited my blog, typing the 10 comments again and now I see that they are 2 again ! SO, I'm writing the comments in a separate post because I like them and I want you to read them,and FF, I don't want them deleted again !
My students' comments on "Where Mermaids Stand" are:
<One of the reasons why it is difficult for us to define where we belong is bacause we are changing all the time
<Every question has a proper answer and every soul has a proper place. If we try hard, we can find a place for our soul
<As soon as we find where our friends are, we know where we belong.
< Every person is a miracle which has not existed before. And we should not split miracles into groups.
< Everybody has a covered place which is hiding our talent or the place we belong to and we will discover it on our way to knowing ourselves
< The Mermaid was the only one who knew herself. Knowing ourselves sometimes takes a whole life...But being ourselves is our strength.
<It is very important to be tolerant to different people
<Everybody is a piece of life's puzzle and has a place in it. If we are not in place,we feel uncomfortable and unhappy , and this spoils the harmony of the whole picture...
Welcome to discussing the comments !

Where Mermaids Stand....

Hi friends ! I miss you, but I feel so tired during the week that I can't find the energy to write. But it's Sunday again...and I want to share with you a story a friend told me , which I loved.
" A teacher asked the kindergarten children to play a game where Bears chase Bunnies. The children who were Bears had to stand on the teacher's left. The children who were Bunnies had to stand on the teacher's right. A tiny girl came up and held out her small timid hand to the teacher and asked, "And where do the Mermaids stand ?" "There are no Mermaids", said the teacher. "But I am a Mermaid", bravely answered the girl.
Then the teacher took the little girl's hand and told her, "If you can't find a place on the left or on the right, stand by me , in the middle."
WHERE DO WE BELONG ? Have we found a place among people and a home/peace for our souls? Or like the Mermaid we still can join neither the left nor the right, can settle neither on the land nor in the water, our feet are on the ground but our heads are in the clouds....
I put the topic to my students and these are the comments I got from them :
< One of the reasons why it is difficult for us to define where we belong is because we are changing all the time.
< As soon as we find where our friends are, we know where we belong.
<Every question has a proper answer and every soul has a proper place. If we try hard, we can find a place for our soul.
<Every person is a miracle which has not existed before.And we should not split miracles into groups.
<Everybody has a covered place which is hiding our talent or the place we belong to, and we will discover it on our way to knowing ourselves.
<The Mermaid was the only one who knew herself. Knowing ouselves sometimes takes a whole life.
But being ourselves is our strength...
<It is very important to be tolerant to different people.
<Everybody is a piece of life's puzzle and has an exact place in it. If we are not in place, we feel uncomfortable and unhappy - and this spoils the harmony of the whole picture.
Will you join the comments ? Thank you for dropping in !
Have a creative and challenging week !

Calendar From the Sea - 2

Late November
Now it is real, late autumn - the ground is covered with yellow leaves and more of them are darting through the air like flying thoughts difficult to catch. The branches of the trees are beginning to jut naked into the heavy damp sky.
The sea has lost its bright summer tints and is nothing more but the still dull eye of a dying animal.
But it is still beautiful.
Nature is always beautiful.

My Fights

Hi again, bloggers! Thank you for supporting me to express my thoughts in English!
Nasty weather here - temperatures suddenly dropped from 20*C to 10*C. No sun..But I'm fighting and hoping...What are your fights ?
My Fights
I fight all my life. I fight my fears and uncertainties, my depressions and self-doubts, my own mediocrity.
Most of all I fight TIME - our greatest enemy !
I don't fight people's faults - I just walk away.
Sometimes I get tired and discouraged - specially when I remember ( how many times ? ) what an insignificant bit of the universe I am.
But I know that if I leave myself to the stream, I will get drowned. And I don't want to.
Have a nice Sunday and good weather ! (Did you shift your clocks one hour back ?) I'm going to the wedding of a nephew of mine and hope to get warmed there !

My Heart in a Leaf

Hi folks ! Autumn is here. How do you feel ??...
Yesterday, on my way to work I found a leaf.
It was lying solitary red on the pavement among other autumn leaves.I picked it up and knew - it was my heart.
Now, during the long working day I glance secretly at my leaf, pulsing in my bag and I know I am not dead, I am alive.

Driftwoods

Driftwoods, smooth and weird, hiding messages, stranded on the beach, entangled in seaweeds, waiting for our sand steps to be freed and given a home.
The driftwoods of our memories....coming and sailing away - sun moments, walk moments, travel moments, love moments, contemplation moments - blessed moments that keep our spirit alive in the prose of the day.

Where I Live

This is where I live and swim in summer. This is where I put my feet on the ground although most of the time my head is above the clouds. But a man's reach should exceed its grasp - or what is the sky for ? ...
Beautiful, isn't it ?
My home is only 300m from the beach.I usually take this distance in 5min.,so eager and impatient am I to feel the embrace of the water.
You know, till New Year I live with my memories from the summer and after that - longing for the summer.
