Cherishing each single day

My husband told me a beautiful sentence, that he heard from his favourite client, aged almost 80.

"Only when you are old you realize that you should cherish each single day of your life." 

I will try to remember this the next day I will feel down.

Half woman, second class woman?

I was feeling perfectly happy for many days, until today. The company where I work is organizing huge party next weekend, where all the workers are invited with their family members.

I don't mind going to company parties, where only the workers are invited. Not that I particularly enjoy them, but they are OK. But meeting all the coworkers kids? No, thank you.

My way of dealing? I will use a white lie, again and skip it. Again.

I have only one heart and I have to protect it.


For the whole day I had in my mind the words I read in the morning that were written by a dear bloggie friend of mine, Elaine.  Half woman, second class woman. That's exactly how I feel today.

There will be another day tomorrow and I know it will be a nicer one.

Lovely mini holidays in Croatia

I have just returned from lovely mini holidays in Croatia, I was on this island: http://www.krk.hr/en/
It was sunny and very warm, so we spent lots of time on the beach. Those two photos are from the only day that was cloudy, so we had a bit of time for sightseeing.

I didn't check my email for 4 days, so it was only today that I read a thank you email from someone from other part of the world who is accepting her childless life. I was deeply touched to read her email, especially the lines: ", and your blog has been a HUGE part of my healing."
Thank you for writting to me..... wishing you all the best!  

Feeling blue

I had a tough day at work. Everything was just perfect until our pregnant coworker came after 6 months of sick leave to greet us. I didn't know until today that she had one IVF and the very first one worked for her.

Don't get me wrong. This coworker is a lovely girl. Very witty and full of life. Everybody laughed when she shared funny stories about the IVF procedure.

I felt very old, grey and bitter. There just isn't anything funny about my 10 failed IVFs. I would prefer to delete those memories out of my head for good. But I can't, I will always live with them.

Great cycling tour to Italian alpine lakes

It was first day of school this week. It was hard, as each year. It makes me aware of all the things I will never get to experience.

So I treated myself with beautiful cycling tour with my husband today.

 

Bellow are some of my favourite photos. I am lucky to live in a country where nature is so beautiful.
