Truth and Fiction

"Truth is stranger than fiction."

An old saying

People and photography

Photography is so widely used; almost everyone regardless of age, education, experience or background can take pictures and enjoy the process. Last week while I was running I saw a very old and fragile man who was trying to take picture of a flower, his hands were shaking terribly and he was struggling over and over again. Finally he could take a less shaky picture; at that moment he had a triumphant smile and hopeful eyes. I was impressed and thinking how interesting and useful, the photography could be for so many people: a source of enjoyment and hope.

creativity and cooking

Being creative in cooking can lift our spirits. Simply ignore the standard recipes and replace some ingredients according to our taste. Both the process and the result could be amazing and fun. Eating healthy and balanced foods can have a profound impact on how we think, behave and feel.

New year, Fresh start

Four reminders for starting a beautiful and successful 2014:

* Have the courage and insight to realize the things that cannot be changed.

* Have the determination to change things for better. No regret for the past and never expect the immediate results.

*No worry about pleasing others and not let anyone belittle you or your dreams.

*Live a natural life and when you cannot find a reason, trust your instincts.
