A reflective Adriana to you

Hello beloved...

LONG LIVE SPAM MANAGER...because Paul appears when the messages disappear. :-)

Well firstly I’ll address my readers because they have been sentenced to read my nonsenses this month. Feel welcome, please!

Pary from Iran, thanks for your efforts in reading and commenting not only to me but to my blogmates as well. It has been very nice of you.

Benka from SERBIA, thanks a lot for your supportive message to me. I must remember it every time I’m missing self-confidence.

Mercè from Spain, don’t worry about the missing comments and your English. It's better than mine. I'm very happy to read all your previus comments.

Marianna from Slovakia, thanks agreeing or not with my thoughts, you’ll stay in my memory too. The important thing is the colour of the flower: white- the colour of peace. Millions of thanks to you.

Paco from Spain: Thanks also to you and don’t worry, nobody has the same taste of books, music, etc Thanks goodness we all are different otherwise, how boring it would be. I’ll just reread D. Quixote again because of you.

Thanks to Silwal Kishor from Nepal too. I miss you because your comments are always very nice.

Filippo, Italy: What a coincidence, it’s raining right now while I’m writing this to you! I’m singing in the rain...

Ana Paula, I’ve loved the pictures at the museum in São Paulo. I’ll visit the gallery art there and the whole centre itself some day when I go to São Paulo.

Naheed from Pakistan, glad to see your return. A mantra to you: RAM ( I don’t know if the spelling of this sound is the same in your language or even in English)

James (Zhih-Cheng Wu) from Taiwan, I’ve appreciated the way you linked economics and tennis. In fact, most of the time, sports reflect the situation in the country. I think sooner than we can guess, the next USA president will tackle the problem. Our economics is getting stronger so the crisis may affect us in Brazil too but not as it used to be in the past.

Rachel, glad to see you and Owen. Happy New Year to you too. I’m very happy because you’ve come back to say hello to us. I miss teacher Alex too. Where's he?

Anita, I've loved your handcrafts. You are really good. I like also to make some things...look at the things I do (in my neck):

so...do you think my last post had a bit of a sadness? Sorry, the intention wasn’t that. I just wanted to pinpoint my thoughts regarding to little things that could turn the world better.

Perhaps, unconsciously I feel affected by the things I have been reading: the chaos in the world, conflicts, terrorism and wars, bullets that kill innocent people, violence in general. Sometimes I spare giving myself a moment of reflection to assess the situation in order to understand and find out the roots of these things, if there is any.

I’m always looking for reversible things that could correct or limit the violence that cause... or is caused by the aggressiveness on people. I think our leaders don’t have all the answers, they seem to be lost and maybe they should start listening to us and redefine their values...or at least our values. I’d like to know how much is people’s life? Is it the same in every continent? I have my doubts.

Anyway, let’s forget all these boring things. Anita is right. I’ve been thinking at the beach this weekend carefully about what you’ve said ...Family is the most important thing and the base of society. Don’t think I just read and study English here. I think about every line you all write here.







I had a refreshing weekend in Setiba beach here in Espírito Santo state in Brazil. Setiba is the best of both worlds. This beach is divided in two completely different parts. One crowded and the desert part that has also a desert island.



My husband loves the desert part of the beach much more than the crowded part. It reminded me of Amy, our dear teacher who have said in one of her blogs about the quiet untouched beaches that she likes in India. Once I arrived at the beach, her piture came to mind.



The water was so warm. I thought I would miss the carnival party but I was wrong. So...no photos of carnival!

Thanks to you all, my friends...no matter you all agree with me or not and despite our different political thoughts. I'll love you always.

Adriana
