Wishes for 2014!









We did enjoy a great Christmas at home this year 
with extended family and friends. 
Life has been so hectic and so strangely abrupt lately 
that we were desperate for a breather. 
So, we mostly rested and relaxed through Christmas,
 we were abroad the two last years and 
we were seeking our home’s warmth and cosiness. 







I hope that you also had a wonderful and happy holiday 
and that you are looking forward to 2014. 
Are you already making plans? We are...
the trick is how to develop a realistic way 
to make things happen.












Τo be honest, the only thing I’m praying for is 
to be in good health and to keep smiling despite everything.

I pray for the young people of this world, 
more must be done to protect them and 
lead them safely to the future. 




We only have a couple of days of down time ahead of us…


Let’s face our challenges with courage and optimism,
May the New Year be a prosperous and creative one,
May the sun which touches us so generously here,
 may touch the soul of every human being in this world…
May hope be on our path whatever we do, wherever we are!

Thank you for having so kindly and 
so generously encouraging me, it was precious for me!
Sending love,,, 
O

  8. Dear Olympia - I am so pleased that you enjoyed a restful relaxing Christmas with your family at home. It is nice to go away at Christmas but can be very tiring as I know from the journeys my two sons and their families made this Christmas.
    It has been a delight to follow you over the past year, I have enjoyed our friendly exchanges - may 2014 be a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful, but also a Compassionate year for us all.

  16. Dearest Olympia,
    It was such a joy for meeting you as a great blogger. This is after all much better than reading ANY magazine. Personal contact, however virtually but still it affects us a lot more.
    We too had a quiet Christmas at home with only a great Christmas dinner at Ristorante da Maria, followed by Mass at 23:00 o'clock. That was it and besides that, we are only the two of us here in the USA. We made phone calls on Christmas Day with The Netherlands.
    Yesterday I proudly finished a mega job; scanning finally the last of our slides and now I have them all digital. So happy with that. For 2014 I HOPE to manage scanning all photos and doing away with lots of albums. Space saving and far better for keeping them. By country, by year and by event.
    We wish you and your loved ones a year in good health; our biggest treasure in life.
    May it be a peaceful and happy year with family and friends.
    Happy 2014 to you dear friend!
    Mariette

  17. Beautiful thoughts as we close the old year and begin the new, Olympia. Taking time to look back on what we cherish and relaxing with family while we make new plans is so important. You bring beauty and kindness to our lives - wishing you and your loved ones beauty and kindness in return this new year.

    A hug
