I want you to know


   On this sunny October day I want you to know that life is never perfect, but it's always beautiful.
   That it goes on no matter how hard the journey might seem. You'll need your friends to ease that up, but you can make it.
    That you always have options. Even when you think you don't.
   That people don't change, their needs do. And sometimes there's nothing you can do to make them happy anymore. But that only means your job there is done and you have to go somewhere else and make other people happy.
   That when you're sure something will happen, life takes you by surprise and you have to move on with it... or you'll be left behind. 
   That things never last for a lifetime but they can be fixed. Or replaced.
   That people want you to listen and you want them to listen as well. Do that by taking turns or you'll end up in a mess you created yourself.
   That great effort is always rewarded. If not by others at least by yourself. You'll feel awesome!
   That you'll want your days to be longer but they'll always seem too short. Pick whatever will help you say "What an awesome day!" when you go to sleep.
   That you won't understand everything that happens to you. But you don't have to. Accept everything that comes in your life. There will be times when you'll be frustrated, but remember, there's a lesson for you at every corner.
    That you can always find a reason to be grateful. You just have to close your eyes and think.
   That there are hundreds or thousands of books written exactly for you that are waiting to be discovered. Look for them and they'll reveal themselves to you.
   That lost time doesn't come back so think about leaving something behind. Memories, photos, diaries. Record your life somewhere. You'll be thankful to rediscover it in some years.
   That money don't bring happiness. It's all in your head. You can craft or recycle instead of buying. Just use your imagination.
   That people need to be reminded how important they are to you. So let them know. 
   That if you want something, want it badly and it will come true. Be careful what you wish for, though. 
   That fear, guilt and anger will only bring bad consequences. Be at peace with yourself and with others. 
    That life is worth being explored, enjoyed, lived to the fullest. So do it! Do it now!:)

Day 46. Dear October

Walk in parc

    I love love love your special blankets made of leaves!:) They make me smile every morning and it's not because they're silly or funny but because I know how much you struggle to make them as perfect as they look:) 
   I also know you love sunshine as much as I do. I would love to see more of that sunshine until it's too late and your sister November comes around. I don't even know why they call her "sweet" cos she isn't. I can totally foresee it. Lots of rain, cold weather and the desire to always stay indoors. 
   So, could we keep the blankets and the sunshine around as much as we can so I can be happy every morning?:)

Love,
Dana

Day 37. October canvas

Grapes and rotten apple

   Today I found a black apple among the ones we brought from the countryside. I loved taking shots of it and then I decided to add some grapes from my "vineyard" and there you go, October canvas painted by autumn itself:) 
   I have to agree with Arghezi. We can find beauty in ugly things too. It depends how we look at them and how we portray them to take the beauty out of them:)
