Hang in there…
From time to time we all have to take a hard look at our lives to see where we are going. But when I think about my life an inner voice tends to criticize what I am now. Today I feel that my life is far from being the way I think it should be. “Try not listening to this voice or try to prove it wrong”, I think at times.
Everyday is a terrific day for me, and I find that things are working extremely smoothly. I´ve got a strong, grounded head that always help me get right down into the dirt and get things done. I usually make sure I´m on solid ground before taking the next step upwards.
But certain things cause and earthquake in my safe ground. A friend has just told me of an imminent civil conflict where he lives. I just get sad and worried about him, and I also feel frustrated for not being able to do anything. About… what, Shy?
Heard an interview of our president telling about the risks that we have of crashing like Argentina. We have been quite like that before. In such a situation , I really dont know what I would do. I have been independent for so long…
This is not the kind of blog I like to post.
It may be private someday. Just like some others…
It got cold suddenly… Better go shut the window…

I understand your fear .
But Brazil is a huge country . With a good management and also a better distribution of wealth it should be working .
About you Shy , be quiet . Do what you must .( Fais ce que tu dois , in french ) and it is what you do . So reassure yourself .

I have more faith than that in Brazil. Don’t worry coz things will work out
Have faith… its not going to be the way you fear… take care
It s getting cold a bit everywhere in the world.
Remember that the biggest heros and saints need suffering to become that, like love too needs suffering to become great.

And the use of worrying is???
On a different note… your banner states: I am Lotus. My own paradox….. Now in Greek mythology, a lotus is a legendary plant whose fruit induces a dreamy forgetfulness and an unwillingness to leave and, one of the meanings of paradox is “a person or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities” – perhaps you have contradicted yourself!
I’m just playing – believe me you are far from a contradiction – you certainly appear to be very level headed and, to paraphrase you, your feet are firmly on the ground. Hmmm, do I have those 80,000 frequent flyer miles available? Better start adding them up!!!
And I will certainly “manda um abração para a Vickie” – y Cristal tambien
One of my friends (and colleague), Ivana is from Argentina. She will be moving to Spain in September because she can’t pay for her living in Argentina due to the econonomic crisis. I have been thinking a lot about how this could happen and I’m very upset about it. She is an engineer, has a good job, a good life and now it is all falling to pieces.
I’m sure you don’t want to hear horror stories now, so I’ll shut up, but I really hope Brazil will be spared of this tragedy. Amber
Here’s a BIG {{{{{Hug}}}} – to keep you warm.
Yes, Hang In There. Think of the phrase, “This too shall pass!”
Sometimes your inner voice, is a voice of reason to be listened to. But I don’t think you should listen to this inner voice!!
There is so much sadness in the world…..I intend to make a small dent in it.
It is good that you didn’t make this private… too many people care about you
{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
Stay vigilant but look at the world with a tourist’s fascination.
I feel the same way you are feeling…today was a real trying day for me.. I can’t wait for the week to end. Hope tomorrow brings you a better day.
hey sweetheart! take care – it will be alright soon, as you said” have to just hang in” *HUGZ*
hun,
acredito que mais do que ninguém que tenha postado aí em cima, sei o que vc está sentindo. Compartilho de todas essas inseguranças, e também desse frio repentino! hehehe
Mas assim, não vou dizer para não se preocupar pois não vai contecer nada. Eu não sei. Ninguém sabe ao certo. Isso é ruim, mas é a verdade. A única coisa que tenho a dizer é que tenho fé. E essa fé é o que me mantém aqui no Brasil. Poderia estar muito bem morando fora agora com a minha mãe nos EUA. Mas eu tenho fé no meu povo, e amor pelas pessoas que compartilham dessa fé comigo, ficando e acreditando que da nossa maneira isso aqui pode realmetne ser melhor.
