Today was a beautiful day. It already started with a nice surprise - Mali included me in her blog:

I had to work really hard today at work, but I did not mind since I felt so good. It was a comforting thought - I am not alone. I have soul-mates all around the world that understand me.
I am really happy that I wasn't born before Internet was discovered :)

Aunt
I have 7 aunts & uncles all together and I don't feel connected to them at all. I wasn't connected even as a child. So -- no bad feelings.
One of my aunts visited my parents couple of days ago. She is Dad's younger sister who lives couple of hours drive away so I haven't seen her for few years.
We spent some hours together: aunt, her husband, her two sons in early 20's, my parents, my brother & his wife & their two daughters and me & my DH.
It was frustrating to see how uninterested my aunt was in me. I tried to have a conversation, but was not successful. She didn't ask me even one question - like where I work now, if I like my work, whatever. But she had millions of questions for my brother & sister-in-law. Of course all related to child-bringing.
I know there are women that are actually able to talk only about babies & children. It is just sad to see that my aunt is also one of them.
***
I have a special programme in cases of people like my aunt. I just don't see them. Ever again. So that they can not hurt me again.
The programme works perfectly fine. It is just that I have every year less people. Which is fine by me.
Infertility has learned me to appreciate the people that I DO have in my life.

School books
1st September - beginning of new school year - is approaching. What I have been hearing lately (it is the same every year) - is lots of moaning, how expensive books & exercise books are.
And all I want to do is scream - shut the f*** up! I would LOVE to pay for all he books & everything for MY kid. If I was only lucky enough to have him/her.
(only short PS: education - from primary school to university - is completely free of charge. So - really nothing to moan about!).

Always look on the bright side of life
It was a holiday in this part of Europe (Assumption) so I went for a long trekking with DH & the Wolf. Photo above was taken by me today. Isn't it lovely? If you look closely, you can see on the left, in the valley, the beautiful lake that I am always talking about.
We made approximately 10 miles long trekking and we had a great time. It is so good to be outside, on the fresh air. With small kids long trekkings wouldn't be possible. So - another advantage of being childfree.
Always look on the bright side of life :)
