"December 14 – Appreciate What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it? (Author: Victoria Klein)"

Last year was full of great things and disappointing ones. As far as the latter, we can simply overcome them and throw them away without regret.

The one thing I have really appreciaed of last year was a good number of visits here of friends from far and near. I love to hang around with my friends, to have some time to spend with them in relax, to explore the little things you would not see if there wasnt time, to have the relaxed feeling and attitude given by feeling yourself at home and free to be yourself and knowing that the others you are with are feeling the same. Honesty and feeling in your element, open to get the others as they are, learning from them without judging, but discussing, disagreeing, agreeing, getting involved, sharing, staying toghether in silence. Meeting them as if we had left the day before, and saying goodbye knowing that whenevr we meet it will be the day after!

My graitude is in few words: THANK YOU!

"December 15 – 5 Minutes Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010. (Author: Patti Digh)"

Friends visiting, family reuniting, facing problems in god company, saying to people the little but essential things that are not granted, Australia, working in a team, Turkey, mountains, breathing the wind, listening leaves moving, photographing, smiling, cutting hair, knitting, thinking, holding hands in silence, looking in the eyes, Paris, nieces, the moon and stars, a chilly morning, landing home, leaving home, chickens, a photography course, blog friends, writing, letting go, silence, your eyes, holding hands, caressing, walking, swimming, the blue sky, the sea, new shoes, giving away, listening to the radio, ingoring idiots, saing no, saying yes, snow falling, walking with you, a good cup of hot chocolate.
