Trip to Edinburgh 


So many things have happened, as I said earlier. I am going through a very tumultuous and intense period of my life. I am making a new way in life, I am trying out new things, new people even, new ideas. I am learning and developing and hoping to improve from all points of view. It's hard but also refreshing.

The road is peppered by ups and downs, moments of dreadful sadness and introspection but also moments of laughter and hope and serenity.

Right now I'm looking forward to my first proper holiday in two years. I have decided to go to Edinburgh, of all places, with a friend from back home. The stay will be short and, I hope, refreshing and invigorating. There is another friend that I'll meet there, someone who lives locally without actually being a Scot. He's English and am very curious about him, in no romantic way but just as a person. It'll be good to be able to put a face to a person who has been 'there' for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on (well, metaphorically speaking). And he's very keen on meeting me but I'll have to make sure there is no misunderstanding as to the nature of our relationship, from the very beginning. I don't want any more broken hearts around me.

Looking for trips to places around Edinburgh and things to do while we are there. There are endless possibilities, of course, and I actually enjoy the fact that I have been to Edinburgh a couple of times already, I'm no stranger to the city and know my way about the place. It's very reassuring. I find myself so very excited about this little trip - which only goes to show how very little we need to be pleased or even happy in life. It's just like it was when I was little and, as my parents were not rich, I didn't have a lot of toys but I was absolutely happy to play with a branch or a shrub, pretending it was one of the characters of my imagination.

So, anyway, I intend to write often from now on - about the journey to Edinburgh and, generally, about the journey to discovering the new me.

Blogging again

I've happened upon my old blog and I think I'm again in the mood to write. So many things have happened, so much to write about, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm also pondering on whether to close this blog down and start another one, with limited and controlled access. It seems like a good idea, I'll think about it.

So many changes in the blogging world, I'm pleased to see ...
