Life Lately

Winter was nothing but a whisper, silent and calm, and the spring as set unnoticeable and seemingly shy to show herself in all it wonderful bloom.  It is the strangest of feelings. Seasons blend, time flies and we remain trapped amongst our loops thinking about the future while repeating past actions.

I guess… I believe… and I want to be back from the hiatus. This absence wasn’t something that was either planned or just carelessness or forgetfulness about you the reader or about the blog.

Since my last post here I kept on leaving blog posts on my schedule that just stood there. Not forgotten, not lost. But just there.  Waiting for the tomorrow that never came. Waiting for a brief period of calmness between the hurricane of emotions and travelling that have happened during these last few months.

The hurricane that just swept through my life was unexpected and a mixed bag of good and bad with sparks of the darkest black and brightest white.

And In the midst of the many things that have been happen we also discovered that I am carrying a child and that I will be a mother of a little boy.

Even if now everything seems so blurry and daunting it is time to return to this space of mine. Making one day at a time and being grateful for the good in times like these.

2019 wasn’t a good year and its finale wasn’t the greatest one. When the New Year came just felt like a torn page of an unfinished book… And 2020 knocked so hard that three months seems like an eternity of years… The covid-19 pandemic has turned our lives upside down with spirals of stress and anxieties… Staying at home was never a problem for me but this time is different and worrying become as commonplace as breathing. This is a fragile and strange time.

Anyhow I still have photographs from last autumn in Paris that I would like to share here. Now more than ever revive one of the good moments of last year, like on this day of strolling around Paris and a break for lunch and rest at Luxembourg Gardens where we watched children playing with vintage sailboats, a very old tradition, in the Grand Bassin, an octagonal pond in front of Luxembourg Palace…

I hope you are all keeping safe and positive at your home.
