CHANGE


...is in the air again and my temporary life in Lyon has come to its end!


How long it has taken me to adjust and adopt to the everydays here? - you may wonder?


Well, not even 3 weeks are enough and what was so unknow and new at the beginning - has become part of my ordinary days:


A place, where at the beginning -  I was afraid; when I had to stay with a black black cat, who has frightened me away - just because of one bad and unpleasant experience in my past.


That moment, I have thought, I rather run away!


However, I don't give up things easily so instead of escaping, I have stayed here.


- with her in one room everyday, I have learnt so much, I couldn’t have thought before.


The animals are teaching us to patience, 
- to observe ourselves, 
- to except many things, we may not like in ourselves?! - as its like our dark side?!


They teach us to forgive!
-  to open our hearts!
.... and just as in our life -  of human, we need time to trust one another, is the same between man and the animals as well!


The cute little cat, with green eyes, whom I first named tiger for my feeling, the fear I had, has become my best friend by the end.


I love her and I thank her so much - to be such a great teacher for me.


Her and me sitting on the couch at the beginning far away from each other, now, before my leaving, she is sleeping on my lap and I caress her while she is dreaming.





Strange, I laugh at myself, to built trust between each other was the hardest part -  just as in our life, I believe.


However, approaching everyone and everything with love destroy the walls, we have built around our heart!


Change is good, I must say, even though, we never know - what it brings us at the end.


Being here, for me was a great lesson in life and I leave forward with an easier heart and with an extended mind!


Thank you my French friends giving me this opportunity and for all your wonderful care and love during all this time, while being here!


I love you and I believe, you also got a piece of me, a bit of sunshine and joy, I could maybe bring into your precious and unique life!

Parc de la Tete d’Or


A place in the heart of the center of the town, where you have the possibility to get out from the noise of the cars and rush of the city life.


Here, in a huge place of green belt with a clean lake set in the middle of it, you can slow down, to get a bike and go around, discovering the park!


A place, where you cycle yourself to a rose garden, while looking at the height of the old and beautiful trees, surrounding you in any direction you take.



Children with parents and grandparents walking in a harmonious way, lovers sitting on the benches, holding their hands, with a sparkle in their eyes: obviously they don’t need anything else - to feel happy today.


Me and my friend take the big bike made for families, with more seats on it and we decide to have a little exercise in this way.


So tiny things are enough, to make a woman ,who is grieving to bring a little smile to her sad days.


As we don’t know which way to go, we are spontaneous and get to the spot, where the bike is the easiest way to ride.


Don’t think, controlling and riding this bike is so easy, however, its definitely funny!


Crazy as we are, we try to strongly turn the wheel to the side, so we get closer to the lake.
Its ok, till there are no children in front of us, who are making our riding really challenging.


Thanks God, we don’t turn upside down, when suddenly the skaters get in front of us too!


Anyway, we laugh hard, while feeling the fresh air all around us.


My friend feels her muscles in her legs, as its so hard by times to get around the park.


Definitely -  we have fun and the Sun, which is shining on us and on all those, who are around us, make it a remarkable day.


A day in our life, we won't forget!


A day, when for a short time, with the help of the bike, the park and the good weather, we could have become children again!


I wish you all the best! To experience lots of such similar moments.

MY BEST DAYS IN LYON...


I could and I will put a list here with all the places and things you must visit, once you come to the town of great cuisine and the culture in France.


For now, though, let me share with you the joy and the feelings - I had, when I entered the church nearby us on a beautiful  Sunday.


I feel; being abroad makes you feel like a newly born baby, as you observe everything from other perspective.
People like people, we might say, but each and every corner of this Planet has something particular, hidden just for that special region:
- with different customs and habits,
- with different tastes of meal and style of music,
- with other services, lets say on a Sunday mass:


Here I come with my thoughts.


A church in our neighborhood has started the mass with two Priests, welcoming us all, who came to the house of God to give thanks for all we have in our life.


To be grateful and to express our gratitude to HIM, who holds our hands in our everydays, 
- who lifts us up when we fall down,
- who gives us strenght when we are week and who celebrates with us, when we are crying out of happiness and dancing in a circle of joy, celebrating it all!


After the warm welcome, the music has started in a style of a gospel.


The music and the songs sang by black people, with the wide wide smile on their faces, while claping their hands, you, who is part of this all, can feel the spirit of love and phantasy of life in the air.





Children, Oh God, many many children around me, wherever I look at, sitting on the laps of their parents and I feel like in Heaven.


My soul is uplifted, I feel so alive and here I realize, how great its to travel and to learn about other nations!


What is normal and ordinary for us is totally different in other corners of the Universe.


I almost dance and I suddenly feel, like in the movie with Whoopi Goldberg, while singing, dancing and praying to God, I can fly!


The mass continues and I keep observing people.


There are many believers from regions of Africa:


As they pray, the close their eyes, I can deeply feel their faith, its so much in the air, you can almost touch it!


I am happy and blessed to be among them.


Praying, singing and listening to the speech of the Priest goes on and I must realize, we soon come to the end of it.


What a wonderful start of the day and of the following week,
- what a release of my soul!
- what a light in my heart is, when I leave the church.


At the entrance door the two Priests are waiting for us, believers -  shaking our hands and wishing us a beautiful day.


Well, the human connections, the strenght of faith is - what has joined and brought together these people today, the ones, who with the shine in their heart will spread it all around, they step!


Thank You God, for blessing me and us with all, we experience each and every day!

BOUCHONS

My friends have invited me to taste their typical cuisine.

Once being here, you can of course not miss eating a special lyonesse plat in a place called - bouchons.
Imagine a tiny little restaurant with a style from the old times:

- with natural decorations from wood, with a table set with a tablecloth- red and white, with a few paintings on the wall and many many flowers.

You feel like in your own home, comfortable and cosy, with a few people sitting around you waiting for being served with the delicious meal.

A bottle of wine is already on the table, so we have time to choose, what to taste - while being together with all we love and with whom the dinner tastes better.

Its always a different experience to taste and enjoy the food in the good company of our friends.

My friends are teasing me, as they all well know which meal hides what, but me? the stranger and the visitor has no clue of it)).

Finally, they have chosen me a typical, traditional meal from here, -( which so far I don’t know what it was, it was in a shape of a roll from pasta, covered with some creamy sauce, yammy),  but before that, we all have started with a lyonesse salad and lentils - as a starter.

Laughing, joy can be heard in the space.



I feel the greek atmosphere - I am so much used too, where we have time to be happy together while eating and discussing different life matters.

As this time we are in France), we talk in french,( even though its tough for me), I am so glad to see the smiling faces of other guests around me:

- who seem to be very proud and pleased to hear a visitor, who tries to speak their melodic language.

Eating, speaking, laughing and here the cheese is 'interrupting' us)).

This time the one of the Canuts, I have to try, I hear again!
(Canuts were the people living here in the past, who were poor and who were the ones, who prepared the beautiful scarf made out of silk).
Silk is a significant brand for this town! I will write about it more later:)

Well, lets jump back to the cosy place, where we are set.
Enjoying and tasting all the yammy tastes, suddenly I hear my hosts saying to me:
Time to leave! as a new circle is starting.
I look around and I don’t really understand ,what they mean by this? 

The evening has just started; I don't wish to leave!!!!

They explain, the bouchons works in a system, from 7. 30 pm -9.00 pm is one circle of customers and as we finish, the table is already booked for the others.

The ones, who I believe will enjoy not only the fantastic dinner, we have had here but they will also feel the spirit of the happy atmosphere.

…and before we go, we finish with a lemon ice cream

- to make our life sweet!

Merci beaucoup, thank you a lot!

4 laughing women, who can hardly move, after eating so much, decide to walk for a while and after to take a bus, before we reach our car.

This was a joyful day and I wish you all, my dear friends, to experience it, once coming here by chance.

…..but before of that, I wish you joy and love, anywhere you are at this moment!

Lets the harmony and laughter fill our ordinary days!

BE HAPPY!

The Hungarian Goulash!


As my visit in the lovely cultural town of Lyon soon turns to its end, I have invited my French friends to taste the Hungarian specialty- the goulash!


I have thought, it wouldn’t be proper to disappear from their lives without making them to taste our national meal!


Waking up quite early today, to be ready on time, as to prepare a soft and tasty goulash takes longer time, I felt really happy:


- to share and to show something typical for our nation with your international friends, makes this World a smaller place!; as it brings the people of different origins closer!

After getting the fresh pork from the butcher in the corner, who could hardly understood, what I was trying to say again))
I had all: I needed to prepare our delicious lunch for today!


Though happy as I was, while listening to the French romantic music, in fact,
I felt the power in my blood for being Hungarian!


Cutting the meat into little cubes, so it really looks well; I was ready to start my creation this day!


Thanks God, I found pikant chilly paprika too and I wasn’t mean to put it into the pot, where the freshly onion was already glass transparent, with the meat on it.
Yummy, I have thought, I can't wait to see their faces, when they take the first spoon of my specialty.


Well, while the meat is cooked, I peel the potatoes, cut them into small pieces, which soon end up in the pot to be boiled.


Red wine is prepared; as it can't be missed and all I have to do is to taste the meat meanwhile and to wait.


The hours pass fast with the good music at the background and with my friends online.


The 21. Century cook!


Bravo, I say to myself, if my mom would see me, she would hold her head  and I am sure, she would definitely send me out from the kitchen.


Luckily, she doesn’t see me at this moment, as she is a few thousands km far away from me, so as such, my wings are free and nothing can limit my Sagittarius freedom here.


Besides, why not to have joy and fun while cooking? 
Why should I just stay next to the pot and checking it all the time?


It wouldn’t be cooked faster anyway.


Wow, just being online with my great friend when I hear the ring bells.
Wowow, what's that, my guests have arrived half an hour earlier!


Pas de problem, no problem, I am ready))!


Now, I set the table, while naming all the cutlery in french, as my friend has become my teacher.


God, she is so strict, I don’t dare to be a rebel this time!


So I name all the stuff we need to use to taste the goulash!


Ready, they sit down, they look at me and the meal, while I say to them:
Be prepared, its not a light meal like yours, the French!


Excuse us? Our cuisine is fat, they say!


Haha, I laugh hard, are you kidding me?
Ok, let's wait till you taste ours!


Before starting though, I ask them to say me honestly, how they like it!
If they won't, anyway, I can find it out from their body language!


The big moment comes!


…and here is the answer!!! 


Aaaah, its very delicious but sooo hot! -they say!


Of course it is, we are hot and temperament people over there,
our national meal must signify it, for sure!


They are so funny and I laugh so much - while being so happy at the same time.


After a month being here, I finally eat something so familiar.


The taste, I was brought up with, the spice so close to my heart, the feelings and memories of the goulash parties, we have had each and every summer.


So many events and memories connected to one great dish.


By the time, I enjoy my meal, my friend drink the wine, so not to feel so much the spicy meat, they have in front of them on the table and in their mouths!


Ok, they love it anyway, its just too hot for them.
As such, I can be satisfied.
….and as we are still in France, forgetting my memories, they quickly cool down my passion!
I must soon realize, I eat again a new taste of the french cheese, one from Vichy!; as each and every region here has its particular one.


Ooh, yummy, I am totally fanatic of it and this time, THEY are the ones, who laugh at me! 


- how I can't get enough of this soft, white product every time, they offer it to me!


I am trapped, I must admit it;  but is a sweet jail!


For us it was a lovely time together!


Bon apetite to you all! Whatever and wherever you eat!


God bless our meal!

The power of the nature....


Walking in the park early afternoon, after having the heavy hungarian lunch, as usually - I observed the life!


....and as such, the following ideas started to flow into my mind:


The trees are surroundig us and those, who decided to get out from their houses, once the Sun is finally shining, so we can enjoy it!
I believe, not much is needed to feel relaxed and silent, than to get out from the comfortable armchair and take a slow walk on the fresh air!


As the Sun shines through the branches of the tall, old and strong trees, I wonder:


Do they feel us and do we realize, it's them - who help us so much?


Them, the trees, which I imagine as a particular soul, from which each and every one is responsible maybe right for your life!


As remember! - without air,WE ALL DIE!
One tree= one soul!


The less trees and plants will surround us in the future, the more of us will leave this place, called Earth!


We must be thankful for the NATURE and to GOD for creating us 
a garden of health, a place- where you can purify yourself!


- a space- where you can get really relaxed!


Have you ever asked yourself why!?


When you look around, the greenbelt is around you everywhere, the song of the birds calms your mind and the fresh air gets into your lung!


Your heart beats calmer too and you become a different man!


One, who leaves behind the awful noise of the city life, the scream, shouting of some aggressive people, who think, that's the only way to get,what they really need!


How far away they are from the peace of mind and heart! God, I feel so sorry for them!


I lean with my back to one particular tree, I choose at random, with my palms touching and feeling the wonder of it and I let him to clear my whole body and spirit.


This gift to us,which is connected to Mother Earth and to the sky at the same time, has the power to take away all the poison from inside of us!


Even though, there are people walking around and maybe they are thinking of me: what a strange woman, hugging the tree!





I must say,  I don't really care!


All that matters for me in that sacred moment is the unigue connection between me and the tree!


After a few minutes, I make a circle around the park and before getting back to the everyday rhythm in the polution of the town, out of a sudden a young boy is standing just straight next to me- asking:


Is everything all right, madam?


Gentleman, cute, I must say:


I am pleasantly surprised and I realize, there is always someone; a brave one, who does care in the speed of the everyday!


- Who isn't shy enough and who pays attention to us.
- Who dares to share and show the human feelings, reminding us, that's the power that join and make us people - worth of life!


Thank you young man, that's very kind of you, I am totally ok, what's more, I feel absolutely content! is what I say.


Still, he doesn't move, he keeps looking at me!
Oh, I get the point; he is so curious and starts asking me what I exactly do.


I explain it to him, of course in french, (very challenging for me, I must say), what I do and why. 


I am purifying myself, kind of meditation, you know, young man?


He finds it interesting and before leaving me, he wishes me a beautiful day.
C 'est joli, it's nice of him, I must say.


One last embrace to the tree, I say thanks and before going further forward, I say a huge thanks to the nature as well - for being here for US!


I also say a quite prayer, where I ask all the people living in the World


- TO APPRECIATE AND TO PROTECT OUR MOTHER EARTH!


the treasure, which is saving us all!


Love is in the air, always!


Let's live a healthy life!


Lets find a short time in our everyday to touch one tree to say thanks!


- to go out and to clean out our lung and our heart from the poison of everyday!


As such, I believe - we can all have a longer and a healthier life!
Thank you all!

ONE MOMENT IN LIFE


...when I could have easily left this life behind, after falling off the bike straight to my head recently, I had the chance to wake up and start something in a new way.
In that moment -  a girl with an angelic face and strong heart was standing by my side.


I thanked her kindness and care so many times, which she has expressed in those difficult moments for me!


I told her and repeated again and again, how kind she was to me.
When me, who is normally full of life wat set in cirsumstances to learn, how to receive love and aid through her gentleness.


She said, its nothing from her side, its normal- as WE ARE ALL HUMAN!, so as such, we are there for each other!


Surprised as she was by my words, is how I often feel ,when people ,who I meet say to me, how is it possible, that I am so kind with a wide open heart to them?!


Then I realize, that that angel girl was so right: and I usually respond to the above question – ITS NORMAL, MAN!
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY!


WE ARE HUMAN AND AS SUCH, we have to wake up the closed doors of the hearts, because unfortunately, something awful has happened to us?!


Something –that has made us afraid to express the elementar feeling of being, so special, the fact that we are able to love.
If you imagine yourself being always protecting and keeping the distance, you imprison yourself behind the bars of the cage and as such, you miss the light and the ray of love, which would come to your heart otherwise!


We are here to love each other and to have the constant circle of love in the air!
Lets be human, dont be afraid to show your real face!

THE SNOW!


Finally, the white covering carpet had came to the city life too.


Longing for it longtime, today morning it has arrived:


The feeling of real winter! - What a beautiful start of the day!
The trees and the streets dressed in white, just as prepared for a celebration to us.


Joy in children hearts is what I also feel, as opening the window to see this brightness better and to breath the air, which is also so different today.


The atmosphere of real winter - when the grey ordinary changes into the special occasion!


I believe, for a moment in all of us it brings back the funny, happy and joyful time of our childhood, when we made the snowman, played and throwing snowballs at each other;  but mostly laughing aloud - while enjoying the speed of the sledge together!
Hope, that today,even though you are an adult running to your workplace or using your car- you are not upset for this beauty to experience.


Whats more, a better start of today for you, who has had the chance to touch inside your inner child again.


Have a wonderful day!

Enjoying the freedom?


...while my friend is being away?


So, I stay here by myself, with only one person who I know beside my friend and of course the black black cat, who is like a VIP person to be cared by me everyday.
Instead of going to the conference, where I was invited to, I stayed here, in the flat, in the suburb of the city life, far from the noise and from the shine.
As such, I live like any other woman in any other place in the World, who stays home everyday.


Funny as it seems, I enjoy it much more than being about journalists and discovering new things.
What normally fills me up with new energies when I can encounter and know new things, now I am completely happy to prepare a hot, delicious meal!


A soup, for example, to which I have paid so much attention to make it delicious and from which half ended on the floor for one stupid moment made my day funny.
for one second, as the mixer wasn’t fit in the right way, I ended up crawling on the floor, while cleaning the tomato from every corner of the kitchen.
The red colour covered my hands and legs but I felt cheerful at the same moment. at least; I don't have to go to the tomato festival to Spain.


My friend left me here on my own, to enjoy my liberty, that’s what he said, as he knows, how important its for me.


Anyway, I have realized while 'swimming' among the tomatoes, how much funnier it would be, if he would be here and we would laugh like crazy with me.
Without laughter our life is so dry, without marmalade!)


Its  like the sky without the Sun, like the child without its mom and dad, like the flower without the garden and the Sea without the water.
there is no time to lose our precious life with living it through only by our head, as its our heart, that dictates the right way!


Slow down man, be brave and dare to laugh!


-Dare to act like a child.
-Dare to be who you truly are!


..and remember, we are all children of God!


Never loose trust in human and NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Don’t stop, don’t close your heart as such you  are refusing the love and the light too!
Just select the people around you and be always opened to love and to new experience!
Fly high!

To the memory of the beautiful voice, Whitney..


Waking up with the sunshine feeling in my heart, I gave, as usually thanks to God for being ALIVE and to start again a NEW DAY!


On the other side of the World, a woman, who brought so much JOY and BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS to many people Worldwide FOR YEARS can not feel the RAY of the SUN this day.


Unknown reasons, secrets, which will be kept forever by her and our Protector - she left Us!
- Not entertaining us anymore, 
- Not bringing SMILE to our hearts alive, as now, she became The leader of the Heavenly choir.


Our World has lost this day a huge treasure, a UNIGUE person, who with the talent received from God walked among Us  JUST for a while......


....and as the winter came, the darkness covered our soul, to know, this light of JOY, this Sunshine, who was our STAR is not shining here for US anymore!


Not here but on the other side, I am sure, she was welcomed with open arms and with a huge applause.
From all those, who loved her here and who are already part of the eternal love there!


Dress in crystal clear white dress is, how I imagine here walking now there- 

...where the crowd steps aside, so that the QUEEN CAN WALK EASILY, WITH HER ARMS OPENED, TO RECEIVE THE RAY OF LIGHT - COMING TO HER SOUL AND HEART!


GOD, BLESS THIS CHILD OF YOURS, WHO DID FULFILLED HER MISSION FOR WHICH YOU SENT HER HERE!


THANK YOU, WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER.


PLEASE BE KIND TO HER AND MAKE HER FEEL, SHE GETS THE BEST, AS THATS WHAT SHE GAVE US ALL!


REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFULWOMAN.

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

My 'confession',


Ok, time to write about the fact, why I am so addicted to the place, called Santorini.(Saint Irini or the round island).


- to a tiny, small island in the Cycladic, in Greece. 


A place, where millions of tourist come and enjoy either simply theirs holiday or say YES on the happiest day of their lives.


However; you must know; it has much more hidden in its ‘secret bag’ than you have ever imagined; man!


You may feel and experience it, once you decide to visit it.


Looking and facing to the caldera, which is a rock of 300 m high built with cave houses inside and while being surrounded by the blue blue sky, you realize - a better scene couldn't have been painted for you; to start a new day!


The Paradise, I often hear, from different people coming here from various countries.


Yes, you are not mistaken, you might know me, as at these moments they make me curious and I ask, WHY??


What makes you feel this way?


Haven’t you been to any other places, you have felt so, the Sea are at many other places too on the Earth? I ask them.


…their answer is, NO, it can’t be compared to anything in the entire World.


This tranquility, this peace, the seagulls around you and the fact, you are like protected by the island itself from the fast, speedy, stressed World we most live in, seems like an imagination in a deep meditation.
Surrounded by the blue and white houses all around, looking at the sunset, while sitting on the corner of one of the many narrow white streets, you feel, it’s a dream!


The sound of the sea makes your heart beat slower in a comfortable way, while taking you to new, unknown horizons, far, far away!


You have a chance, a unique moment here - just for you and even though there are thousands of tourist around you, still, you can hear your soul singing the joyful song ONLY to YOU!


Actually, you feel, you are in other World, in other dimension and here we come to the fact, why its named often-the Paradise.


- its not by chance!


I could write here pages, it wouldn’t describe all, what once in your lifetime YOU must see!


Freedom of spirit, of soul and warmth of heart.


Here you become a butterfly, wide wings, which make you fly high!


Higher than you have ever though, you ever can!


Higher than the sky, reaching the Moon, when looking at it at night, when you feel so close to the higher powers!


When all around you calms down and you hear again the beat of your heart!


What a joyful feeling man, how is it possible - you haven’t heard it yet?


Let me help you, me, who is also addicted to this place and though I know, one of the universal law is the detachment, here my legs are trapped and I cry, anytime I have to leave this imagination- this Heaven!


The reason for this feeling is also the power and strength of the volcano, which is breathing life to this place!


-which makes it unique as it is, as there is hardly any other place in the World that could compete with this!


Man, give yourself a chance and enter once this place!


Before your boat gets to the harbor, you will have the chance to feel the energy of this magical place.


Some of you might not bare this fire, this flow of energy spreading around you from every side, no matter; if it comes from North or South, you feel it in every cells of your body.


So, be prepared, YOU - who is coming here, where, it is said, the lost Atlantis took once its place exactly here!


..and do you know; what it means?


The city with inhabitants, who had the strength and power, knowledge in such ways that they created a mystic place.


…and you, who are interested to observe and discover it by yourself, don’t loose your time and arrive here as soon as you can……………………as these, my lines are only a weak introduction of what might await you there- in the dimension, which is so different from everything, you have ever experienced.


…and if you are still interested in more details, what makes your soul fly so high there, ask me, the one, who is obsessed and can’t wait, when to arrive home again.


Home to the place, where I can touch the sky and fly free, as the seagulls by my side.


Come and join us there, where nothing is impossible, where you realize all the treasure, that’s hidden deeply in your mind and heart; dear fellow man!

MY GRATITUDE FOR LIFE!


A little girl....
who I was one day, not even so long time ago)) was born and saw the first ray of the Sun in a tiny little Hungarian town.


A place, where I was lucky enough to be raised up in a home with the best, positive, optimistic and loving parents and a caring elder sister too.


In such environment everything was given for me, to become, who I am today.


A Hungarian girl, who, as growing up realized, she isn’t living in Hungary but in Czechoslovakia-as a minority!


Well, it didn’t make too much change for her, only she realized, she wants to see, what’s behind all this.


- what other nationalities and people are out there? behind the wall?
what are their everyday lives and dreams, 
what makes them smile and cry?
Many wonders that have driven this girl to make her dreams come true and to fulfill her curiosity.
As she turned 18, she took her ‘boots’ and left home to travel, to discover and to learn.
To learn about life and about herself.
 A travel outside and inside of her soul.
At present, even though she is an adult woman, the little child, she used to be is deeply treasured in her heart.
She is so GRATEFUL!

Voila, au marche


Saturday morning.


The Sun is shining and though its freezing cold outside, what can be a better and the most typical program for the beginning of the weekend, than going to the marche, (market)?!
Dressed in 3 pulovers, thick tights with a pantalon, scarf protecting my face and the berret on my head, I  am ready to check out, what the french market has to offer)).
I leave the bike behind this time, as it’s hard enough to breathe outside, in this cold winter I won’t force myself to pedal against the cold wind).


Passing the route next to the tram, I see a cheerful man, who, while waiting for the green lamp to continue his way, is joyfully singing in the warmth of his van- inside of which the Sun might shine, as he listens to the rhythm of the latin dance).


Looking at him, I feel like dancing and for the fracture of a second, I feel the warmth of the summer Sun in my heart.
What a great start of the day, finally to see someone, who reminds me my loved, Greek, temperamentive nation).


The only thing I miss though, it’s the suntanned, brown color of their skin and face).


Here, everyone seems to me like sick, with pale skin- considering myself among them too, as the suntan color of my body has long time faded away((((.


Anyway, back to here and now, I continue my way -  to see my friend, so together we start our market day!


First, we stop at the buche, (the butcher), where, wooow, handsome French men, dressed elegantly, truly, in a striped shirt with a west and a tie, with their lovely and kind smile await and serve the arriving customers.


Of course, I don’t have to mention here, that the welcome is warm: with the unforgettable,


Bonjour, Madam and Monsieur, how can I help?


All sorts of different meat are placed in a delicate way, next to which is a 
part, just for the cheese to ‘call you’ who stepped inside of this place).


Oh my God, I go crazy, can’t bear more of it).


The locals don’t even realize what they have here. What special and yummy product, no other country can boost with.
 While my friend is buying the well-known and their favourite goat cheese, I feel like a child, who doesn’t want to live the toy shop. 
Ooh, so many kinds of delicacy- I feel, I could stay there for days, till I don’t taste all of them)).
On the walls are photos of cows and even the paying machine has on its screener the cute face of this animal.
Not to forget, you are at the butcher place, my dear friend!
With a short eye contact to the most handsome man behind the pult, I say, au revoir Monsieur.


We have to say bye to the smiling faces, who welcomed us and we continue our way to the market.


Few minutes walking only and we arrive to a small tiny place.


People walking slowly, pulling a special bag just for this case, so there is enough space to place in their freshly bought vegetables and all kind of delicious items.


Looking at the people patiently waiting in the cues, I feel again the delicacy, the gentleness of French!


They are so soft and so polite!


Sellers are kind and they are discussing with the customers.
The human connections here are present and I must say, I am happy to be here, visiting my friend.


First we stop at the vegetable sector, though I still face to the tent opposite side, as there, the cheeses are ‘watching and calling’ me, come Ingrid, taste me)!


Can I refuse them?; could you?


Oscar Wilde said, ‘I can refuse anything, except temptations’!
So as such, the different kind of cheese ends up in the deepness of my friend bag, which we pull further to stop and get the sweet for the Sunday lunch, which I await so much!


Oh and before you think, I don’t do anything else here just eat, let me remind you, in a way it’s true though, but as these people here are so caring about their health, the portions are really not big, so I can continue to taste with a good conscious the delicious things, they have here.


Freezing cold doesn’t stop me to wonder further around and among the shopping people I take off my gloves and take pictures) of the whole atmosphere, despite of the cold, I feel in my bones everywhere.


Lovely, c’est passé bien….its great. I really enjoy it!
However, time to get home before I get frozen, so -  who would than continue its way and collecting the stories for you, who are far away from me at these moments?


Protecting my face, ‘running ‘home, I realize, I haven’t felt so cold not even in the North of Canada, where once I spend the cold winter of minus 30 C.
What’s going on here, I ask myself?


Anyway, just a few more steps and I am inside, in the warm house of my friend, where I turn on quickly the radio with the soft, romantic French music, have a glass of wine and I quickly forget about the cold of the day.


All - that I remember and cherish is the great feelings, I could have experienced, thanks to the fact that I am in the lovely country of France.


Thank you Piere, for inviting me here, for making my horizons of view wider and for making the occasion for me to study your language, the one of the sophisticated men).


Bonne journee to all of you!
Have a lovely Saturday


Enjoy the day and the weekend)))! my dear friends!

At the supermarket....


where after I entered, I have suddenly felt, like Alice in the Wonderland.


You wonder why and what makes me feel this way?


I know, it’s all around us in most of the countries, the huge and wide choice of products that we can get.


There is no limit, what to taste, once you have the money for it!
Nothing can stop you to try and get either the hundreds products of fish as well as the vegetables, the olives and the spices, you can use to enrich your meal, the one, you decide to eat today.


I know, no matter where you are, in which country:
- where is peace,
- where there are all the things produces for our comfortable living.


Here, now in one local supermarket in France:
wandering among the shelves filled with colorful products, where one looks nicer and I bet is more delicious than the other, I feel like in the merry –go- rounds.


My head is dizzy out of the wide choice that surrounds me.


I don’t know, where to look and being at another place than the one you are used to, here you have the time to observe and look at the ordinary things in a different way too.


As such, you are as well discovering the other culture , where now, temporarily, you belong to. 


Take an example of the items I face here:


A simple mustard, which is nicely filled in a wine shaped glass, the baguettes in different sizes on the shelves, the pates, the milk products, the spices and of course the sector just for wines are only a few of all, I see while walking among and around.


While listening to the peaceful music, however, I am not really thinking about our lunch, as I remember and think of all those, innocent people in the Third World, who have nothing to eat today.


Looking around, I see smiling faces, stopping and choosing calmly their favorite product or maybe something new to taste this day.
Here I stop and think, is there anyone of these people who realizes what special gift they have?


In the ordinary life, they are surrounded by all these rich and delicious items.
However, my heart feels pain, toward those, who die daily because of the hunger.


…I pray and I ask silently, God, why?


Why we are luckier to get this all and why there are those, less fortunate to get only a tiny, little portion to survive?


- Has it all been decided by our destiny?
- Has it all have been written well in advance?
..and if so…could I, Us? help them?


Well, these were my feelings, I had, while shopping today and I thought to share it with you, my dear readers.


If we cant help to our fellows, who cant choose and live a better way, at least I wanted to make YOU stop and to realize, what luxury we all have in our everyday!


Thank you God, for forwarding and giving us all, we can experience…but mostly the peace! – we live in.


We are grateful, thank you!

In a weak moment of a man, to whose holding arms you can fall , when all around you seem to be dark and grey?


- with whom you can share the sadness and the deepness of your heart, who brings joy and light to your heart everyday?
The heart, which gave so extremely much and ‘the pot’,  which seemed to be endless is reaching down- to get the last drops of his strength.


Deeply, in its soul is screaming, help! give me water, before I choke from the thirst of being loved.


There is a desert around the people, in which the crowd and the feeling of loneliness is the dry sand all around and everywhere.


Nevertheless, you look for the camel, whose belly is filled with water for you, the ONE that can really save you, BUT you can see HIM nowhere!


Not even one! who says,MAN, come, I give you my helping hand and ease your thirst after a long way!


Don’t be afraid and tired, just because there are days, when not all seems to be, as you have ever planed?!


Life is not always easy, you have really forgotten that? and thought indeed, that all is always only about the joy, which surrounds you always?!


-For some, unfortunately, the helping hand is the alcohol, which becomes their everyday surviving water,
-For others it’s the cigarette that calms down their noisy and turbulent soul and heart,
-There are also all those, who try to avoid this feeling of not being loved, by ‘inviting’ a quantum of ladies or men in their bed…
-There are also those, whose tranquility arrives , while playing and touching their cats.


All sorts of different forms are here placed and set again, not mentioning the rest, some, about which I can’t remember yet.


Despite, they exist and as we are all so different, there is the right solution to everyone, if you truly believe, man!
Leave behind your sadness and instead of it, set your mind rather on the target!


Bless all, that you already have had and fulfill all, you have dreamt!


Luminate, open your heart and you will feel, all these crazy ideas were just in your mind and your brain.


As they came, so easily they can also go away.


LIGHT and LOVE comes after them, so be happy and smile, as such - you give the sign to your brain, which understand all and will send these signals to your whole human body.


Let the JOY encounter you, instead of the shadow of your dark side.


Blanc ( WHITE) day! is waiting for you out there)):
