Wind of Spring, Wind of Change

~ Hello, everyone:) I know it's been quite some time since my last post. I hope this post finds you well and happy and smiling at life:)
~ From my last post, a lot has happened in my life. One of the things would be that I graduated the second college so now I have a BA degree in Social Work too. My paper, “Music Therapy and the beneficiaries diagnosed with Schizophrenia” (it’s not the exact title and it sounds better in my language), got all the profs excited and was marked with a straight and well-deserved A. On another note, Spring is knocking on the door along with a few changes.
~ I can't believe Spring is almost here. I am so happy!!! Spring is definitely my season. I love it. From the fresh wind and drops of dew in the morning, to the shy sun showing up from between the clouds, to the extraordinary rebirth of nature, to the plethora of flowers, to the chilly nights and everything in between all these. After 4 months of heavy snow and deadly cold wind, Winter is finally making room for Spring to show up in the picture:). Today was such a beautiful day that I just couldn’t resist and went out for a long walk with my best friend, Andra!
~ With all this season changing came another change. It is not definite yet but I hope it will be soon enough. I am full to the brim with all the crap about the economical depression. I think it was, among everything else, a great excuse for employers to decrease salaries and to make it impossible to find a job. After deep search and much effort I have finally found a job. Hurray!!! Right now I am in the middle of a trial period but I hope I get the job. I am so excited about it – I get to meet new people, learn new things – it’s great!!! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!!!
~ In my agenda there is also a BLOG Re-Do. I’m planning on changing a few things about my blog, to work a little on the design, add a few banners and links, change the colors and fonts, etc. I’m not sure when this change will happen but I hope it does soon:)
~ Thanks for reading. Wish you a happy and colorful Spring!!
..............
PS: This is something I must share with you. I am hopelessly in love with this song and with the guy's boots and chains:) Aren't they amazing?!:):):)

Draggy, tell me the tales that to me were so dear long long ago

Draggy is...my favorite Dragon. I received it from St. Nicholas (my sweet lovely mom) last year. I admit, I have one single vice -- stuffies! I love them and I have a huge collection of them. Received as gifts or bought I love them all. Stuffies are, at any special ocassion, the perfect gift for me. Stuffies, jewelry and flowers - I love them equally:)

Draggy...draggy is a green, yellow and pink colored plush dragon. He's very cute and when pressed on his left arm he sings the following song: Long long ago by Thomas Haynes Bayly. Unfortunately I can't find the song on the internet to post it here. There are a couple of versions of it but non resembles the one my Draggy sings:)

Today i tried to draw Draggy and here's what I've got:




Of course,as you can imagine, Draggy is much cuter and sweeter than my drawing:)

~~ Do you have a favorite stuffie? If you do, does it have a name, a story?

Inspiration

~~ After my grandpa died I discovered me and him shared a common passion for quotes. After he passed away I found on his desk a small collection of quotes that he had cut from some magazines. I took them and sticked them inside a small notebook.
~~ In the last couple of years I have gathered like 3 thick notebooks of handwritten quotes, gathered from the books I've read, magazines, songs, etc.
~~ Every time I look inside these notebooks I find inspiration, strength, hope and wisedom in them.

~~ I'll share a few from my grandpa's notebook with you:

"A lie that heals is better than the truth that hurts." - Sun Tzu

"Ask much from yourself but ask nothing from the others." - Confucius

"In the end we will not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends" - Martin Luther King

"Mothers are the only flowers that never wither" - Jean Gastaldi

.................................

~~ On another note: if you're wondering what's with that picture, it is my latest drawing. My best friend asked me to draw Flounder, Ariel's best friend. So here it is, my version of Flounder:)

.................................

~~ And a song for you:) Fink - This is the thing

A few...
