Goodevening
my lovelies!!!
Is there
anyone still around here? I’m so sorry for the never ending absence from this
precious little place of mine and I’m so glad that I’m finally back!!!
The reason
why I 've decided to break this period of silence with this “ just a minute” post
is that this short time seems to be the
only one I can take during this period of craziness.
The new job
is absolutely satisfying and captivating, but sometimes I feel like I’ve got on
a running train that is not going to stop!!!
So this evening, after more than a
month, I’m curled up in my bed, under a fluffy blanket, with a boiling cup of
hot chocolate and a hot water bottle on my feet, enjoying the simple pleasure
of being alone with my lovely memories.
The big
resolution I made for this brand new year was to try to find the genuine
happiness in myself but also the
strength I needed to break free of a relationship that, instead of giving me
serenity, was stealing my joy of life and was filling myself with insecurities
and sadness.
So, January hasn’t started in an easy way, but, unexpectedly, it
has also brought some beautiful emotions!!!
Unfortunately
I didn’t do anything particularly exciting in the past couple of weeks, but I
want to show you some of the pictures I took on Sunday morning when I went
exploring the frosty woods near home with Cloe,
mum and dad!
It has been amazing to walk in the chilly air, among the crunching
leaves, listening to the chirping of the birds and the lapping of the creek.
For a couple
of hours I felt literally carried
through the pages of the wonderful book I'm reading, “The Country Diary
of an Edwardian Lady” by Edith Holden, a diary which starts in the month of
January 1906, and includes the favourite
poems, the personal thoughts and the observations on the wildlife surrounding
the village of the writer in the Warwickshire
Sometimes
the contact with nature and its enchanting beauty it’s all that we need to feel
alive again, regenerated in body and soul.
Love
Martina
