Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.

About Me

I am a simple girl who loves life, loves to laugh and smile. I live in a medium-sized Romanian town (Iasi is quite pretty in spring, summer and the begining of autumn) and i have few but very dear friends. I enjoy taking walks during the day or the evening with no established destination. I like meditating when it's quiet, that's a way to make me feel refreshed and it helps me cope everyday. I like flowers very much, although i must admit i'm not that good at naming all of them :D I really love meeting new people, it doesn't matter where you're from, how old you are, what your religion is, how you look like. All that matters is that you are kind, peaceful and open minded :) My music playlist

Perspective... : Sep 18, 2008
 One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the
trip?'

'It was great, Dad.'

'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.

'Oh yeah,' said the son.

'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father

The son answered:

'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? 

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have!
