This morning I am thinking about life.

It could appear a bit tough drunk with the morning coffee but it often happens to me. It's an inspirational moment and I really appreciate it. 

Well, I was there, and I saw some magpies flying near the tree just in front of my window. And I thought about how it's easy for them perching on every small or big branch, hedges, walls and how they interact with their environment. 

So I imagined my thoughts, both positive and negative, flying like them, away from my mind, free to go wherever they want, children and adults, friends, passers-by. 

I don't feel like sending my negative thoughts around today.

Have a lovely day! ^_^ 

Goooood morning! ^_^ : No rain

Good morning all!! ^_^

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
Here in Dublin sky is blue, it's cold, yes, but there is a lovely sun waiting for me to go outside.

It was a great weekend..it was grand!!!!  I spent it with my elder brother (he doesn't live here in Ireland) and I miss him everyday.

By the way, he reminded my a song that we used to listen to and sing together when I was around 11. This souvenir makes me smile and be happy.. I want to share it with you.

Have a lovely day!

"Goooood morning" column! ^_^

Good morning everybody,

Every morning one thought, picture, draw, poem and so on,  to start our day with the positive mood!

I wish you all a lovely day!! With love.

Morning inspiration

It was 1982 when a little 11-year-old redheaded orphan girl started singing "you are never fully dressed without a smile".
I'm talking about the Broadway musical "Annie",  based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie , with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and the book by Thomas Meehan.
(source wikipedia)

Anyway, this morning, I found on Facebook a picture that I would like to share with you all:

Hope you will like it!!

I wish you a lovely day! ^_^

Smiling and... laughing!!!

Hello everyone!!
Just the night before attempt no. 2, I would like to share a video with you all. It made me smile and laugh, hope it will give you some nice moments as well.
The video is called "Amazing people and amazing animals". Watch the video and you will know why!!!

I wish you a good night and sweet, lovely dreams! <3

Attempt no. 1 : my neighbour

It's about ten months I am living in this building in Dublin. It's a nice place and sometimes I meet my neighbour when I take the lift, check my mailbox. But it's all. The usual "Hi, how are you", "Thanks", "Sorry". Nothing more, I don't even know a name. It's not good but.. where could I start from?


So yesterday afternoon I prepared this:

Then, late at night like a ninja, I went at the ground floor, at the bulletin board  just beside the main entrance and I hanged it there.
If just one person will smile reading my announce, I thought, it would be a success.

The morning after, when I went downstairs I felt so surprised and happy finding this:

And this at 7pm, before going out with some friends:

I was completely amazed. A big success, more than expected! 

I still feel so glad I have such great neighbour, and I feel more close to them now. 

*

However, I received the biggest gift ever when I came back home around midnight. Turning my key to open the main gate I found two messages waiting for me:

I don't know who wrote these messages, but thank you so much. Thank you. 

A blog like this... why?

This blog was born from the idea I had speaking with some friends while we were eating a gorgeous piece of cake (and I seize this opportunity to tell an ancestral truth: all best ideas come from eating cakes!!!! ^_^). Anyway, we were there, our mouths full of a delicious chocolate cream and some of them were complaining about job, boyfriends, parents, life in general. I heard comments like "People is so rude sometimes" or "I would like him not just focus on himself".  So, since I feel we have at least to try to find a solution when we have a problem, I asked smiling (a diabolic angel I would say..) : "What are you doing to solve the situation? What are you doing to understand people around you?".
The air litterally freezed.

"Me? What could I do?" - one of them replied. 

"There is nothing I can do to change them" - the other said. 

(..I am going to avoid describing my eyes launching fires and flames for this time.. )

Well.. this to say that a couple of hours later, once I felt myself more quiet, I took this opportunity to stop and reflect: "what do I do to understand people I share my life with?",  and above all: "What can I do to create a connection with people I meet everyday?

If it's true that a nice gesture produce a positive reaction (this video will explain it more than one thousand words: boomerang effect ), why shouldn't I make an attempt?

That's the idea: do something just for the pleasure to see somebody else smiling. Nothing acrobatic or expensive. Nothing elaborate. Just a tiny, simple act to say "I care".

So I started.. and results have been amazing so far, after just one day!!!

Stay tuned!!!
