Siamo al grottesco.

Allora, per prenotare un appuntamento è necessario
un tecnico specializzato perché siate sicuri molti emigranti
usciranno pazzi nel tentare di prenotare.

La burocrazia Italiana!

Material world, spiritual woman

In this life very few things matter:

we all have lists of what we would like, maybe a corner sofa, a swish loft apartment with the view...with the corner sofa, maybe a home with no corners, maybe a tree house...all is achievable: you work for it.

Other things we just get or receive, seems by luck or coincidence...things that happen, people we meet...

Relationships, people, love, friendship...nothing is for granted.

I know deep in my heart that if I loose everything, I have one thing left:

Love.

It is easy for us all to keep committing mistakes and suffer till the wisdom dawns. Unfortunately parents, teachers and our society does not teach us how to live life in “Peace”.

One thing we were well taught is to chase wealth, power and fame endlessly and pay the price.

We always get confused between “Comfort” & “Happiness” as the later is the end objective and the former is the means...


These are my two inspirational quotes today; I share here with you.

Love and Peace x Susannah




“Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” —Albert Einstein


“All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom."

[Moral Decay (first published 1937)]”
Albert Einstein, Out of My Later Years: The Scientist, Philosopher, and Man Portrayed Through His Own Words

Welsh Sunshine and the Sea

Just back from Sunny Wales, full of lovely little memories!

Here is a little insight:

Open up





Open up
spread and spring
forward and outwards

Be positive
be open and trusting
Trust the flow
spiralling forward

Yet
feel the stillness in the fold and creeks and dwell here
lull
suspension
tension
breathing still
re birthing

Once more,
again
renewing
and dreaming of flying once more
higher
to a blue open ocean full of sky
reflected

like water, waves, pulse, beat...spread

ride the wave


Fluid and open
yet firm
and scarily sure of everything,
my maturity coming from the wisdom
and the knowledge
by experience
and observation,
by thinking, feeling, and loving,
to accept that I am human
and therefore not perfect,
learning through mistakes
is the only way
and contradictions
are totally necessary
and a healthy thing.
Always striving for balance.

One thing I know for sure is that I love myself
I am grateful for my life
and my beautiful daughter
and my lovely husband.




Georgia O' Georgia....

Lovely exhibition at the Tate Modern!

The images say it all...no words necessary!










Holidays!

It's my official annual leave! I am on holiday!
This is my first time in ages, in fact, I can't remember the last time I have 2 weeks with no work, at all!

Yet, even if I had a lovely evening with my best friend, after dinner I go to bed tired, then, in the morning, during breakfast, I am sitting at the computer writing an email for work.

After a lovely day at the Tate Modern viewing Georgia O'Keefe exhibition, I am on the phone for an hour conversation related to the email sent in the morning!

Now, it is Monday 9.30 am, I have been up two hours and planning...I need to look at my papers, letters, schedules, programs, rethink, and think some more, and possibly think some more after...
Then, not necessarily in this order:

make an appointment at the consulate for renewing my passport, filling forms;
make an appointment with the dentist
go and have my overdue blood test
do my tax
write an observation for my mentoring job at the nursery
create the new term schedule for Acorns and create and upload sessions for the online bookings on the website
tidy the desk (BIG JOB and SCARY)
cook dinners for everyone
go to the gym every day to workout
suntan
go for pedicure,
go for massage (lymph drainage)
have me time
have cultural time at museums and theatre
have social time
have couch potato time
have reading time (not work related books)
have sexy time
have mummy time
have time
time?
Where is the time to do all this in two weeks?

Do I have a plan?

The plan was not to have a plan...to go with the flow, to let time pass...to be lazy...not to think about deadlines, schedules...set things...
But I am afraid that if I don't schedule these, I will run out of time and do nothing and not relax properly!

so....happy holiday?!

Will see!
