Reach for the stars

Every GREAT DREAM
begins with a dreamer

Always remember

you have within you
the strength

the patience

and the passion

to reach for the STARS

to CHANGE the WORLD

UP

Up.
E. I went to ski.
E. had his first ski competition.
For all the kids participating in the competition,
no matter what result they got, there was a lottery.
1st prize a small Ducati motorbike.
Unfortunately (or fortunately)
E. didn't win anything.
I really don't know how we could have managed
if he would have won a motorbike.

Unfortunately I left my camera in the office.
So for the moment I don't have any picture of the race.
Anyway. E. was 7th

P for PIRATE

If everyone were actors,

we'd open the Yellow Pages

and there'd be

just one listing,

one category:

A for ACTOR

No flight instructors, no toymakers,

no attorneys, no police or doctors.

Just ACTORS.

And finally I understood.

Everybody can't be a lawyer or an actor

or a house painter, either.

Everybody can't do ANY one THING,

but somebody can!

From then on I stopped thinking

it wasn't fair that I get to be

the person I choose to be .

Tribute to winter

This morning E. was inspired by winter.

M. went to ski. A Swedish friend with his collegues

came here to spend some days skiing.

E. was excited because in the afternoon, after "dagis"

he has a "game appointment" with one of his mates.

And I ......... No skiing for me!

I have to finish to write a project I've to send

abosolutely before Monday.

Damn!

Skateboard Mania

E. is getting more & more interested in skateboard.

Every evening when we come home

he "trains" in the garage,

and he wants to wear & move

the way skateboarders & snowboarders do.

Early teenage attitude?

Waiting

Days are getting longer & longer,

sun is warmer

& snow is melting down in the valley.

It's so nice to enjoy all this

extra daylight

early in the morning and when I drive home from the office

A part of me long for Spring

the other part still enjoys Winter

Mosaic n. 1

Here is "my bathroom".

You get into direct from our bedroom

and usually it's just my own "private space".

When we were building the house

at first I didn't like it

and I wanted to take away and change tiles

But now I think that the final result

is not bad ...

The beginning of a long journey

Before you were conceived
I wanted you
Before you were born
I loved you
Before you were
one hour old
I would give my life
for you

Six years ago in these days
E. started to be part of our life
even if we didn't know yet

A new morning

Do not say,
'It is morning,'
and dismiss it
with a name of yesterday.
See it
for the first time
as a newborn child
that has no name.
R. Tagore

Shiny, cosy, lazy, homey
Saturday morning.
The morning
I love most

Time for YOU & ME

Time just for me & E.

Time to play & to talk

Time to dream & laugh

TIME

Time to spend together

Time with no hurry or rush

Time to sit & draw

I just want some more Time

just for me & my kid

Working with angels

My office is in an OLD VILLA from the 19th century

with frescoes in the ceilings.

Upon my head there are two nice angels

playing together all the time.

When I get bored or angry

all I have to do is looking up

and suddenly I am in HEAVEN for a while....

Farewell D'Artagnan

Some people come into our lives
and quickly go.
Some stay for a while,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.
