A. You are like a home. B. Oh thanks now I am a building, a construction site, how wonderful.... A. Don't be silly that was a complement. B. oh???? How so. A. Let me explain. B. Please enlighten me. A. On a dark morning you get up and you go out to face the world. The day is cold. The work is tough. People are angry and tired. You get tired too BUT at the end of the day you go home, a safe, warm, sweet and comforting place where you feel loved and care for, a place where you can relax and enjoy your life. Haven't you heard the phrase "Home Sweet Home"? You are that home to me........ B. Oh My.... I am breathless, mesmerized, wow, thank you thank you...Really???? do you really mean it? A. Yes silly I do, why would I lie to you if I didn't feel like that? B. Oh My God, this is so far the sweetest, the most beautiful complement I have ever been given....I love you I love you with all my heart............
After all these years of working with numbers I decided that it is time to start something new on the side, yes indeed my passion for something new falls into "On the side" category. But...C'est La Vie....
My passion among other things like reading books, music, movie and art is the art of cooking and as much as I love to cook I hate to wash dishes. Yes I love to cook and usually when I put my heart and mind into it I usually cook very good and that is not what I claim that is what my husband my worst critic claims and it makes me happy because he never lies and his complements mean a lot to me. So for the past couple of months I have been looking around to find the best European cook book i.e. Italian and French cooking for now ..... and I insist that I should serve..lol and of course my son always makes fun of me of how silly it is that I serve them when I am all in hurry in the kitchen to serve the next course....the funny thing is I hate washing dishes but I insist to use different size dishes, one for salad and then soup and then pasta and then the main course and yes the desert. Oh well talking about desert I have never made deserts before.
So my dear son is coming home this weekend with his girl friend and I told them it will be Italian food only for four. So what's on the menu??????? well the four course meal is as followed:
Antipasti -Salad and Cream of tomato with basil soup
Primi Piatti - Fettuccine with ricotta
Secondi Piatti - Prosciutti-wrapped chicken
Dolci - coffe Panna cotta with chocolate sauce
Not bad eh?????? and thank God for the Whole food Market that has all the ingredients. It is a fattening food but the tasty foods are always fatty no? especially Italian food but it's ok twice a week won't kill you. And tonight for my hubby who comes home it is grilled chicken with pasta with pesto sauce and no serving just eating and then watching a good movie that he rented. A quiet evening ...........Life is good and I have no qualms and I am happy for what God has given me ..........
May be someday I can have my own little place called "Chez......" why not????
It's been a long time since I've written anything. Life sometimes keeps you busy and on your toes so you never get a chance to do anything but think,hope, pray and live.....
With every Spring comes new hopes and new life, new decisions, I don't know I am just trying to live truly live. I guess the older we get the calmer we get and things change their concept and meaning for us. most of all i am in peace with myself, my past, people I disliked and in general I don't think about the past anymore and it is amazing.
Actually why should anyone thing of the past when there is a present. I know I know it is a silly cliche but really this is how I feel. I am surrounded with the people I love and all I care is their happiness and I am happy when I see that. Yes life plays tricks on you and makes you blind, hopeless, and agitated but if you believe people believe in you, when you love, people will offer their love to you, when you care others care for you too....
So my thank to all the kindness of my family and friends who for the past months walked the hard roads with me cried with me, and with their prayer and belief and love pulled me out............
I am not sure why I feel so agitated. I am not feeling good today and I am not sure if it is Monday or is it just the uncertainties about the future. I wished I knew what’s wrong with me.
Just before Thanksgiving Day he visited her. She was cordial and friendly. So they sat and he talked. Somewhere deep in her heart she was still hurt. He sipped on his wine and said: “you are a very good person, a person with a big heart, you forget and forgive and I am very sorry to have done so much wrong to you, all of us, I am really sorry”. She smiled and just looked at him. She was startled for how she felt, absolutely nothing. The apologies came too late. She remembered the day that she had an argument with him and asking him how he could possibly stand up for someone who practically ruined her life? And how he can forget the time that when she extended her hands and helped him for as long as it took. And then she remembered his indifferent and ungrateful voice. She remembered how the best years of her life are passed and no one cared of the hell that she was living. A hell that was created by a cheating heart and a robber who tried to build a castle over the ruins of a life. Yes she looked on and said nothing. She didn’t care anymore, the apology didn’t mean anything, the past, that horrific past is long gone, the tears were shed, the heart was broken, and an apology doesn’t make things right, no it wouldn’t give her back those years in her life, her youth. He said I am not able to forget or to forgive anyone who does me wrong but you did, you are the best, you are the kindest, and you are good. She didn’t feel anything, she couldn’t stand him, she only smiled and said: “You know, you are right I let off and passed over those black years but I tell you something I never forgot. I never forget the day I talked to you and you turned your back on me and you know very well that I was the only who stood by you through rain or shine and I will never ever forget but I had let go, and you are right I am a good person or else you would not have been able to share a Thanksgiving Day in my house with my family and best friends.
Deleted the picture, now let's see who will visit my blog through the images .... I just dont care about having a hot blog. I am not here to win the contest....
Last week I heard that my aunt passed away. The news truly devastated me I felt that the last thread that bound me to my father is now ripped. I felt so bad for not being able to see her before she passed on. She was like a mother to me, I spent so many of my days as a child in my aunt’s house, playing with my cousins, going through her stuff treasure hunting, playing soccer in the yard, swimming in the pool screaming and shouting to one another, sleeping in her arms in the evening, playing pirates with her knitting rods, and she never said anything to us. She was the strongest woman I had seen in my life, she was smart, she was sharp and nothing would pass her attention, she was kind and finally she was a good human being. She will be missed all of us cried and couldn’t believe that she no longer exists among us. Where would we go on Fridays when we go for a visit? She would have prepared a feast and every one of her children and her grand children were there and as always children were playing make noises and the adults were laughing and having fun. Those days are gone now, a lot of memories playing in my mind, memory of my father, my aunts, my grandmother, and my brother whom was loved by her and never found out that he is long gone and her son who passed away a month earlier. Oh my God, they are all gone, only memories of them remained. Good memories that bring tears in my eyes and joy in my heart for being so blessed to have a loving family. Yes I am blessed and I am so ever thankful to God for giving me a loving family that not everyone has had in life. I always love you, you were one of the kind. God bless your soul my dearest aunt.
I always had a niche in decoration and creation and I sometimes think I should have pursued a career in art instead of something so solid and real. To compensate myself I sometimes spend times to decorate my house or to create something. That of course cost money but it never kept me from doing what I like to do. Money never mattered to me, it's a mean to an end, as long as you have some small savings for the unknown future events. Recently I purchased few pieces of furniture which will be delivered this weekend and it couldn't be more timely for I am having a baby shower in the following weekend for my cousin :-) and of course with the Thanksgiving coming up I sure will have a good looking home to entertain my family and close friends.
Life is good and I am so ever grateful and humbled by God's kindness and blessings .................
It's always a pleasure to be surrounded by your close friends, laugh, joke, tease and have a great time. This is what happened and I am totally greateful for being lucky :)
Never liked to be a hermit, always tried to talk the talk and walk the walk.....I can see how happy others feel when I enter the room.....just for being myself and bring happiness and lightness in the room....That's what I was told. What more can I ask??
What exactly is your problem?? what do you want from me? I have nothing to give you, no secrets, no untold stories, and mostly no interest whatsoever. Really I don't, so whatever that you are looking to find, you can't find it here....Please leave me alone
It’s my friend’s son wedding and I am so ever thankful to God that I get to see such a day. I told her I hope one day we celebrate his wedding. That day he was in hospital with cancer. That day I prayed to God for his health and that same day I promised her that no matter where his wedding will be I will be there. Now he has his health back, he is getting married with a beautiful girl who stood by him throughout, and yes I have to once again travel far for this destination wedding. All the last weekend I worked on creative decoration. I decorated the symbols of a happy life like Candies, Eggs, Eild Rue, Honey, Nuts, Bread, Mirror and a bowl of crystallized sugar. These are symbols that lived for thousands of years and each has special meanings to it, like light, fertility, purity, sweetness, prosperity and happiness and yo keep the evil eye away :-) Well I spent the entire weekend conversing with my friend from far away land and reported everything I am doing for her son and when it was half done I took a picture of some of them and sent it to her. She wrote “My o’ my this is sooooo beautiful thanks so much. This will make them (Bride and Groom) very happy”. That comment warmed my heart and made me so happy.
Yes I am going to a wedding and I am so excited about it. I am planning to look my best to feel my best and to have a blast with all my friends while my family is sitting next to me. I just love wedding, it’s always joyful.
Does anyone know why I keep getting this many hits from different parts of the world coming from the google images (same search engine)? Is there something wrong with tblog????
Could someone please respond to me?
Thank you
On Sunday, Just rest
