Only me in my shoes

From the valley to the stars

A lovely word

Saudade

a Portuguese and Galician word which describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something, somewhere or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return.

Saudade has been described as a "vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist ... a turning towards the past or towards the future".

Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" or "the love that stays" after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again.

A new year begins

A new year begins and somehow I feel my life is in a permanent state of under construction, which can be a sometimes a little overwhealming. I love to go to bookstores and read children books whenever Im feeling stressed or overwhealmed.

I was wandering in the children section when I saw this illustration in The Bunny Book by Richard Scarry.

I fell in love with this picture. Im excited for this new chapter in the story of my life. Since Im the main character of my own story book I love getting all dressed up, making every single day a special occasion.

Here´s to the changes life brings from one year to the next

Here´s to this new year and the happiness it will bring our way

and Here´s to recieving it with some style!
