Before I'll color picture of the Far Far Aways, I have few things to share and few points to make.
The important something and I have no idea why it feels like being so important to say right now, but it does… I’ve been thinking about the words someone said to me some time ago…they said oh you are so lucky – you always get what you want…I do not believe in Lady Luck as such, so I have to disagree on that…
What I believe in though is that everyone gets their chances for every wish they have. It is not an “accident”, but rather opportunity that appears at one or another moment. We just make our choices to ride her wave or let it pass by because lazy we are or hesitant or have more hopes for another…
I believe that if instead of taking a chance we search for a reasons not to do so, that simply means that we don’t want it bad enough…
I believe that if we want something really really bad, we will get it one way or another. And this has nothing to do with the luck. By wanting something we can pull the threads needed for it to come true, we can summon the forces of events and synchronise the times by our own power of wish. No magic in this, just the power of our consciousness – when you concentrate on something, eventually you will be able to separate all that needed for it to be real from all the background noise of other things our life is full of. The chances are all there. They simply are there always. You just have to learn to notice them in the right time.
I also believe that we should only give promises of the things we know we will do, not the things we think we can do or we wish we were able to do. Some know already that I give little promises. Not because I’m careful, but because I see breaking promise as violation of the trust. And because trust to me is the most important thing you can have. And if I am doing my best not to break the trust by the false promises, I expect same favour in return…I don’t do much promises and I don’t ask for much either. And when I do promise, I do keep my word…
Now bits of latest household news (the travel tales, will follow later)…The main news is that my Mondy-boy has now got a girlfriend…for those who don’t know what I’m talking about – I refer to my car. It’s Ford Mondeo and I call him – Mondy-Boy. While I was away for a week my hb bought another car. And she is definitely a “girl”. She is smart and well-mannered and pale-green. We named her Aliza for she is Renault Megan Alize…she looks good by the side of my favourite Blue Mondy. I hope they will make a good couple together :-)
Eventually I will sort out all 553 pictures I've managed to take in those 6 days (I didn't waste time, didn't I? LOL) and eventually I will sort out a bit of the creative mess in my head and a lot of boring issues at work, that piled up to challenge Everest while I was away..and then I'll tell you how I found New York...eventually ;-)

- From:Pragmatist (Legacy)On:Thu Nov 09 2006How you found New York? It wasn't where you expected it to be?
Oh, you mean your perception of New York. Oh. OK.
Looking forward to your pictures.
How I taught my children about honesty. If you tell me a lie, and I find out it's a lie, how can I trust you when you tell the truth. And the trouble you're in when you fess up to a transgression is not nearly what it's going to be when I find out you lied!!
The boys were good about fessing up, but they were also pretty clever about not getting caught. The girl. Well, she's a whole 'nother story.
Her basis for action was: Is it worth the punishment I'll get if I'm caught. She figured if she could handle the wrath of mom it would be worth it. But the wrath of pop was something else. All he had to do was give her The Look, and her heart was broken.
Go figure.
Shalom - From:(Unauthenticated) (Legacy)On:Fri Nov 10 2006I read your diary entry and agreed with everything you said about promises. So many times i have been "promised" something by someone close and been let down. not only is it painful but you do loose the trust in those people. I find it hard to believe what they say and don't take anything as seriosuly as i should now. I never promise to do anything i know i can't do and my pet hate is people who do. if you say your going to do something then do it!. For me it was wonderful to know i'm not the only person who feels that way Thanks:)
