Annunciation Day - 25 March

 Hail, full of Grace ! The Lord is with you !


Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 
You will conceive and give birth to a son and you are to call him Jesus

The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you

And Mary said:
Behold, I am the servant of the Lord
Let it be done to  me according to your word

Spring is here

Spring is here, we can see flowers everywhere, in the fields, in the trees, such a delightful time.

The problem is that after Spring it comes Summer, which I don't like at all.

St. Joseph Feast day - 19 March

 

The Church celebrates and honours St. Joseph on the 19 of March.
I can't tell enough how this Saint has helped me in all my life, he whom the Son of God called (and calls) father.

In praise of chocolate


I read in so many blogs the praise of coffee and how important it is in the life of most people. Now I have to  tell you: I can't stand it!! I don't like the taste and even the smell I don't like at all. But if it's a chocolate with some taste of coffee, it's ok.


I've liking chocolate since I remember to exist and I like it in every form: hot chocolate, or cold in the Summer, bars of chocolate and in every shape and form.


I like it in cakes and over them, puddings, biscuits...You name it.



I've always received chocolates and books as presents, being it my birthday, Christmas and Easter. I have the memory of being a chilld, seated, reading a book and eating chocolate, mainly at Easter time, breaking the chocolate eggs and rabbits and everything, and eating it while reading.

Those were the times! Just a child and reading all the time - which, to say the truth, never ended, either the reading or the chocolate eating which have been a constant all my life.

I found this here

Everybody can see how much I'm craving Chocolate now...but I must wait till Easter.
Just some weeks more.

Spring is coming

Spring is about to come. We can see it already in the light and the flowers in the fields: yellow clovers and periwinkles everywhere.

I like very much the Winter, I like the rain and the cold and those sharp cold days with sun but this year we had too much rain, even catastrophic in some places, so to see the end of it is good news.

Every year I like the beginning of the Spring, it gives me strenght in the body and in the soul, I feel a will to do things, to get better, to take care of me and my house, of my life.

I don't like at all the end of the Spring when Summer begins giving its signs. I don't like the Summer because I can't stand the heat, sometimes it looks like I can't even think and I don't want to do anything. I don't even like the beach, a place where I never go. And the sweating and all, I find it so unpleasent. 

And the way some people dress, almost naked. What a dreadful sight.

Anyway, we don't think about those nasty things now, we have a nice temperature, we just think on the nice weather, good to wash the clothes and put them to dry on the line - which I do all year round but now it's more pleasent to do.

And I think about my dreams and goals and projects and I feel I want to do all that. The beginning of the Spring, as the Autumn, always brings me hope and the belief that I can do all those things I want.

So, it's ok Spring, you can come and bring good times with you.

Technical problems


I just want to say sorry to my readers for not commenting back when they make nice comments here, I don't know what's the problem, I try and it says that it failed and to try  later, which I do but for no avail.

The same way on other blogs, I see such nice posts where I want to comment and I can't.

So, it's not that I'm ignoring you, it's that I have a problem that I hope will be solved soon.

It's some Blogger problem.
