From Barcelona...

It's been quite a few days I haven't touched a computer.... We've been in Barcelona since last week, and now I'm at my sister in law's, and while Ricard is babysitting our little niece Irina, I'm checking emails...

Xmas here has been quite strange... maybe because It's been the first time in 30 years (gp--sh) am soooooooo old ;) that I wasn't in Italy, maybecause unfortunately Ricard's family it's not at all easy.... and because some really close friends suffer the death of their fathers..

I don't know... I've been struggling against my "unhappiness gene".... I won it for a few hours... I was defeated many times... I'm a mixture of feelings... I feel like suspended in between.. I don't feel at home.. but nevertheless I am gratefull....

Don't know..

I've been a bit busy these days..

With my work, with practical things, with thoughts, with emotions.

But I feel quite happy.. maybe it's the Xmas spirit that helps.

Maybe it's just the acknowledge that I'm trying to do my best.

I am aiming quite far in being a good person, and am just soo far from getting anywhere near it.



But I'm doing my best. Sometimes I just think I am using well my talents.

That is a warming feeling...

Turkey day

A bit late... go and check this out...

Infinity - E naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare...

Always dear to me was this lonely hill,
And this hedge, which from me so great a part
Of the farthest horizon excludes the gaze.
But as I sit and watch,
I invent in my mindendless spaces beyond,
and superhumansilences,
and profoundest quiet;
wherefore my heartalmost loses itself in fear.
And as I hear the windrustle through these plants, I compare
that infinite silence to this voice:
and I recall to mind eternity,
And the dead seasons, and the one present
And alive, and the sound of it. So in this
Immensity my thinking drowns:
And to shipwreck is sweet for me in this sea.

Giacomo Leopardi

A winter's tale

A friend of mine from Norway sent me some really great pictures...

It's not so cold here, obviously, but as we're going to Copenhagen tomorrow I'm in full Winter mood.


I'm going home to finish my delicious Pain before
hubby comes back home and tell me off for eating too much of it ;)
