On a rainy day

2/6/2015

1 Comment

 
Hello my friends! I hope you are all o.k. It's Friday after all! The weather in my town is very "nasty" today. There is a very strong south wind, the sky has the "fifty shades of grey" and looks so amazingly light and heavy at the same time and the rain seems like will never stop….
But, somehow, I feel so great today, as if the sunniest day was sent here on earth! It's one of those wonderful days that you feel just happy with no particular reason. It probably has to do with general gratitude for life itself and the "oh so" desired inner calm that I possess today…. Or maybe it's the magical and therapeutical sound of the rain combined with the peace of the light grey atmosphere….. Oh, and I've heard that it snowed at the mountains! How cheerful and rejuvenating is that!
I captured some moments of my day to share with you via instagram and maybe give you some ideas on what to do on a rainy day like today:
  • I wrote on my DIY "5 minute a day journal".
  • I had my morning coffee at bed, reading a little, and….
  • Dreaming of my next journey….
  • I warmed up my body and my soul with the most flavorous tea!
  • I made a mushroom and pepper omelette for breakfast and strength.
  • I scheduled to organize my closet one day in the near future, just to feel more neat and confident.
  • I walked on my new treadmill, since that was easier than hitting the road, and felt so wonderful! Back in action again, after a long, long period of hibernation…
  • I enjoyed a comfort dinner with my love, and last but not least….
  • I got tons of inspiration by Abraham Linkoln's saying from my "Just for today be happy" book.
MY INSTADAY
Do not worry……

I hope you enjoyed my "instaday" post and I wish you all a fabulous weekend!
Love you,

Welcome March!

3/4/2014

Hello my sweet friends. Spring is officialy here since we're in March, but the weather definitely looks like winter.... ok, maybe not a heavy, cold winter... but definitely not spring! Are you confused? So am I! Well March happens to be the most confusing and unexpected month of the year. March is also the month I was born! No comments on that one, please... Actually is the month of birthdays in my family since me, my husband and my father in law we all have our birthdays in March!
Unfortunately it's been raining three days in a row and although it was a long weekend here in Greece with Monday a day off everybody stayed indoors... what a pity! With the weather matching my mood completely and my soul crying for a reason... or many reasons.... I spent the weekend at home with my husband relaxing, watching movies on TV (we also rent the "Malavita" DVD with Robert de Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer which was good enough), watching the carnival in many Greek -and not only- towns, surfing the internet, reading... and sleeping... a lot.
After this... exciting, but necessary cocooning Tuesday has arrived and guess what??... Sun came out of the clouds bright and magnificent to warm our hearts and spread the happiness... but I still feel cold and my mind is so full of worrying thoughts...
Time will show, only time and some action...Hey, look, the sun is smiling, let's smile too, it's not that difficult!

Flowers from my love, Robert Fisher's last book currently reading, delicious and adorable macarons and one of my favorite, healthy and yummy breakfasts... all small but very special treats!!!

Enjoy the little things...

God, it's been a tough week! With so many bad things happening around us, woldwide, you definetely can't feel very nice, even in the safety of your own home... Life is unpredictable, for each one of us. That's the only truth. So, we shouldn't worry so much, if  we can't handle all these  little everyday projects we may have planned.... Plans are made from us and we can change them, depending on our mood or unexpected events.... The point is to feel o.k. with youself, no matter what you're doing.
And this weekend I need to breathe a little, I really do! I have thousands of projects waiting for me and I feel bad about it, but when the bell rings in your head.... you must relax.... any way you like.

The simple things are the ones I love more...
...enjoy my morning coffee...
...and a slice of cake maybe...
...making dreams for better days to come...
Picture
...to take a walk with my best friend...
Picture
...picking flowers...
Picture
...daaaancing in the rain.....!
Picture
Picture
....yes, I' m daaaancing in the rain......
Picture
....I'm thankful of my ...followers (ha, ha!)....
Picture
...and I love them back...
Picture
...window shopping (..and a little shopping sometimes)...
Picture
...dating my man, ...like the old days....
...just to keep the flame sparkling...
Picture
Picture
...eating healthy...
Picture
....strolling in the nature...
Picture
all the above looks via
...gazing magazines...
....there is not limit to this one...
...thousands of magazines!...
...eternal love...
...cooking for me and my beloved ones...
...sweets is my forte!...
...perhaps I'll bake this cake for the weekend...
Picture
via
...and this pie could be the perfect snack for TV time...
...or a picnic maybe...
...it'll depend on the weather...
Picture
via
...there is always pasta in my weekend!..
...an easy dinner is a must, with so much to do...

Picture
via
...and the perfect ending...
...mousse au chocolat...
...divine...

via
Wish you all a happy, happy weekend!
See you on Monday.
Love you,
xoxo, Elena
