"O valor das coisas não está no tempo em que elas duram,
mas na intensidade com que acontecem.
Por isso existem momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis." Fernando Pessoa

 

Fernando Pessoa was right when he wrote this (more or less):

 

since my last entry I've had the possibility of doing some travelling on a vacation that has been one of the best ones so far...I went to Lyon again with my dear friend Morena and then I went to Kenya to visit someone who was once more than dear to me and to get to meet a new continent, and see what really is voluntary work.

(I'll be adding these pictures to the blog some more will be here:http://picasaweb.google.com/sandra.tr )

 

In my eagerness for travelling and getting to know the world I can go trough all kinds of situations and still take comfort in the simple fact of looking at a different tree, listening to a different language ...just being in "another world".

 

I mainly went to Lyon to be with Morena, to do something for and with her, I will never regret it, I had the best time of my life and everything was great! French people are so nice!Lyon was incredible..and the party by the river was amazing...thank you Patrice!

 

Kenya was definitely a life experience I will never forget, I can now understand why some people talk about Africa with their eyes shining ... Its a land of such beauty that I would not dear to describe it, one can only understand it by being there. And people...everyone is so nice and so much pure...

Thank you Alessandro! And thank you too Sonia and Mariana my dear funny adventure friends!

 

At a personal level I might say it was a kind of conquest getting over the fear of doing such a big trip all alone and standing once again in front of what once got me broken hearted...putting myself in this situation made me realise that there are so many other things that are worth our attention! Living is an experience made of so many things and still we tend to focus on the one thing that might not be going so well instead of enjoying it at its full and in all the good things it gives us. I feel very lucky and I'm happy with what I have, having the opportunity of travelling, having friends, being independent and healthy are such wonderful things...I now ask myself why bother lose time thinking about disappointments or behaviours we will probably never understand?!...

Other people's minds are exactly that "other people's" and not even with all the energy of the world we will ever understand it..and why understand it...who said everything has to make sense?

 

I believe that there are still so many things to live, so many wonderful people to meet...so much joy to receive...things have happened in a way that I will never forget but I sure think that some new wonderful ones will still happen.. there's a big world to discover :-)

 

To sum it up after all the travelling after all the storm on my small head this is the idea that remains:

 lets just live the moment at its full with no injuries from the past and thankful for what we got so far...because even the time of a single week or maybe a day can change your overall perspective of how inexplicable events are and how unique people can be...
you can never know when something wonderful is going to happen so better be prepared ;-)!!

to whoever read this until the end...thank you :D!..Glad I could share my thoughts!
