First Date

Published on by Glorialana22 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for Today. Today is the great day. 6 years ago I with my dream man tied the knot with promises to love each other for the end of the days. We are Family and celebrating today’s wedding anniversary with our grateful hearts for each other. We are lucky to meet and blessed by touching of Love.

“A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity.  The order varies for any given year”, said Paul Sweeney. I think our this year order is: love is unconditional, partnership is friendship, trust is deep, tolerance is peace and tenacity is strength.

Every marriage begins from the first date. I have a humorous memories about our first date. With warm smile I am sharing with you my wedding day photos. You know the day was crazy, we had forgotten a camera and taken a photos by mobile phone. So it was in 2007!

FirstDate

Painted my nails

Painted my toes
Put on my lipstick
Powdered my nose
Plucked my eyebrows
Curled my hair
Can’t decide
What to where?!
Should I wear jeans?
Or perhaps a dress
I’m very nervous
I must confess
Butterflies in my stomach
Now I can’t think
Will he like me
Will he not
My front door key
Oh no I forgot !
What time is it?
My god I’m late!
Don’t you just hate
Going on a first date?

As 6 years ago I promise to be the best wife possible today and my husband promises the same. I know it is true. We are born to be ultimately happy and for each other!

Thank you for your smile and this happy possibility to celebrate Today with you!

Sweet Rondo

Published on by Glorialana26 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for inspiring my parents to send me in a musical school. As a result I am a pianist and you know a lot of facets of life I see in a musical forms. Today I am inspired by Rondo.

SweetRondo

Rondo is an Italian word that means round. In music a Rondo is a piece of music which has one main theme, which is heard several times, and other musical ideas in between each time. If we give the main theme a label “A” and the other musical ideas “B”, “C”, “D” etc. then the form of a rondo can be described as ABACADA. The sections in between the main “A” section are called “episodes”.

Episode

In our Sweet Rondo the main theme (A) is Chocolate. Episodes are Marzipan (B), Praline (C) and Marmalade (D). Could you hear it: Chocolate, Marzipan, Chocolate, Praline, Chocolate, Marmalade, Chocolate? Mmmmouthwatering!

Rondo

So close your eyes and feel the pleasure of chocolate as it melts upon your tongue, feel the different episodes in our sweet rondo.

Thank you very much for sharing my inspiration and enjoining the moment with a cup of coffee and a chocolate candy. I am with you!

Key to Immortality

Published on by Glorialana11 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for a dolls our children play with. You know I tell you a secret, whispering “I am writing this post because of my child is busy with her dolls”. Thank you, dolls of my daughter.

We were walking around wonderful Château de Josselin and the French told us how to love in the previous post. Today the French family – the owner of the castle share with us the code to the Key to Immortality.Musee

At the end of the 19th century, the Duchess de Rohan, great-grandmother the present owners of the castle, started to collect dolls. She has collected a dolls and toys of children for four generations and the fine collection was born.

TheFineCollection

This private collection, the most important in France, is composed of more 5000 dolls, toys and games, ranging from the 17th century up to present day.

Boys

“Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows”, said John Betjeman. I know now why our own faces are grey in a mostly cases – because of this dark hour of adolescence.

Josselina

My pretty, pretty Josselina

You live in the country

Where the Sun is brighter

The grass is greener.

Dolls

Celestial Light of childhood,

I am floating in,

Gives the rays of understanding

The main enigma of life:

RedHat

Why Le Petit Chaperon Rouge is so kind to tell to wolf a road to grandmother?

Nurse

Why my Nanny is so sweetheart?

Girls

The code of the Key to Immortality

These little angels are telling to us:

We live in our children.

And children are fruits of Love.

Thank you for sharing this happy moment with me. We are kinder and wiser now than we were a second ago. Our faces are smiling and lighter, because of the happy knowledge about the code.

Happy Monday!

Mrs. Novembra

Published on by Glorialana12 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for November. I celebrate today, November’s first day! As for me it is strange that usually the month is connected with melancholy and depression. Today I have met a wonderful personage to broke the stereotype. Meet, Mrs. Novembra (in original “Mrs. Giffilan” by James Reeves).

When Mrs. Novembra
Is troubled with troubles,
She flies to the kitchen
And sits blowing bubbles.

Novembra

When Mrs. Novembra
Is worried by money,
When her feet are like lead
And her head’s feeling funny,
When there’s too much to do,
And the chimney is smoking,
And everything’s awkward
And wrong and provoking,
When the washing won’t dry
For the rain’s never ending,
When cupboards need cleaning
And stockings want mending,
When the neighbours complain
Of the noise of the cat,
And she ought to be looking
For this and for that,
And never a line comes
From her married daughter –
Then off to the kitchen
With soap and warm water
Goes Mrs. Novembra
And all of her troubles;
And she puffs them away
In a great cloud of bubbles.

In joyful abandon
She puffs them and blows them,
And all round about her
In rapture she throws them;
When round, clear and shiny
They hang in the air,
Away like a shadow
Cotes worry and care.

You see this story in the animation with music by great Bach. It definitely worths of 3 minutes of your life because the recipe of happiness in November is here. Thank you for your being in my life. Happy November!

Green Door

Published on by Glorialana20 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You very much for the Green Door we enter in the moment of our first breath.

“So welcome to the lighthouse

which is your body you’ll live your life”,

I am catching this thought from somebody above.

I still remember that

I was an angel with light wings

And the skies I was flying freely in…

My feelings are uncomfortable now.

What’s the surprise, it is so narrow!

How am I going to live here?

GreenDoor

Bright smiles of well known eyes

Help to understand: I am a human,

A girl, a daughter.

I am a Lighthouse – a house of the Light!

My story is going to be happy…

The photo I took in Binic, France. We all are lucky to enter in the Green Door. So we have to remember we are a lighthouses for each other. “A lighthouse is not interested in who gets its light! It just gives it without thinking! Giving light is its nature!” I try to follow by these words of Mehmet Murat iLdan to give you Light as bright as I can produce. Thank you for your Light I am enjoying and floating in now.

Magic Pot

Published on by Glorialana20 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for healing herbs I use in a treatment of season’s cold. Yes, I and my daughter have a cold. It is terrible to lift up my sleepless glassing head, barking cough is loud and my crying nose works bad. Sometimes it happens, so the picture is well known for our cold and rainy fall.

The worst thing is my child is sick. The last night was difficult. The symptoms were the same besides the temperature of the body, mine was normal, my daughter’s was high. I try to keep the sane approach and do not call to the emergency immediately (it is really hard to do it “keep the sane approach”). My daughter is 5 y.o and for this time I have learned to trust mother’s intuition. “Nothing to be afraid, she is Ok, high temperature is a normal reaction of healthy child on the attaking virus” I heard my intuition’s voice. It were right and today’s morning the temperature have become normal and we begun our treatment. The main hero is a magic pot we use for steam inhalation with dry herbs.

Pot

On the photo above you see the instruction how to use it. These vintage wonderful pots are from France and I have found its in the house we rented. Due to its grand age the pot is decorative element of the bathroom.

Pots

I tell you the story why our pot for steam inhalation is magic. Asking a 5 y.o. child to sit calm and breath by steam for even 2 minutes is difficult. Our story is about little Virusishka who lives with his mother Viruska and father Virus on the planet Virusiania. Yesterday Virusishka was playing near the spaceship of his father, to be inside was strictly forbidden. But the little child was naughty and went inside the spaceship. Virusishka have found a lot of colour buttons inside and, playing, push the red button “Start” and the spaceship flied to Cosmos. By a happy circumstances our hero have found Margo, my daughter, and he desperately wants to find a way to his mother and father. So by inhaling steam of eucalyptus with mint herbs we help Virusishka to find a way to home. By breathing a magic sparkling steam we are becoming healthy and Virusishka are free to fly to his planet Virusiania. The happy end.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment. I wish you to stay healthy and have a wonderful weekend.

Father of his beloved and said (in recitative)

Pistachio: I want to ask for the hand of your daughter in marriage.
Raspberry’s father: You’re an idiot!

Good Luck Charm

Published on by Glorialana36 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for this luck to live providing to all of us. You know not only we but the whole Universe is created by pure luck. Stephen Hawking in his book “The Grand Design” writes: “Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.”

Professor continues “That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions – the single Sun, the lucky combination of Earth-Sun distance and solar mass.” So we all are lucky to live.

I am awarded for the 1000th comment in my friend’s Linda blog. It was a pure luck and lucky combination of myriad of factors in this time and space continuum. I call myself a Good Luck Charm for Linda and sincerely believe it works. I am accepting the award with great gratitude and joy. Thank you Linda for your lite being in my life.

lcaward

Thank you dear Shree for creating the award, this delightful symbol of global communication and unity. Your light is bright and my way is brighter because of you.

Stephen Hawking said “We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.” So am I. Thank you for the grand design you are building on my way now. You are my Good Luck Charm.

Have a lucky weekend!

Chocolate Moustache

Hello God!

Thank You for Belgian waffles. Its are so delicious. You know there are two types of Belgian waffles: the Brussels and the Liege waffle. We were walking in Brussels and it was logic that we tried the Brussels type.

Brussels

Freshly prepared waffles: at the same time, warm, light, deliciously crusty outside and soft inside. Mmmm, I am feeling this magic scent now.

WafflesFactory

Brussels waffle is made in a deep waffle iron which makes large divots in the finished waffle.

We sit down at a table in “Waffle Factory” cafe and enjoyed the rich taste of the incredible city. Chocolate moustache had decorated my lips. I am saying you, it is bliss.

ChocolateMoustache

By the way did you know that The Belgian waffle is an American creation that was introduced at the 1964 World’s Fair where it was called a “Bel Gem Waffle” and that Thomas Jefferson was so enamoured with waffles that he had an iron shipped from France to Monticello? It is interesting.

Thank you very much for sharing with this happy moment. I hope I inspire you to create a Chocolate Moustache on your face with freshly cooked Belgium waffle.
