Me time and cellos

As any parent will tell you, time spent with yourself alone  is

like winning the lottery.

Sure, spending time with my family is the

greatest, but I need the silence and 

solitude of my me time.

So at siesta, Miss B is at long last sleeping 

after her bath time, I take my place at our second sitting room,

and lay hold of my favorite book, make some

intensely thick, hot chocolate, and some cookies.

Today I decided to give myself a little love

and make a homemade foot spa.

You will be needing:

warm water

a few cups of milk (depends on how much you love yourself! The more the better!)

rock salt (because these hard lovelies ARE as good as epsom)

flower petals

-et voila! I have been doing this for many months now

and it really makes my feet soft!

I simply adore old books

For me, cello music is the best sound (for music) ever. Second is harp.

2:19-till end: how can something so beautiful feel so tragic..?

Each time I reach this point, my eyes close,

my heart tightens... I don't know. I feel both moved

and sad at the same time, and I feel
like I could cry. This is what happens

to me when I hear and see beautiful things.

2:19-till end-this is completely my favorite

part of this master piece. And Maisky is absolutely talented,

and you could see his face that he is moved too

and that he truly loves what he is doing.

Don't you ever wonder how pieces of strings 

and woodwork can produce such 

beautiful sounds?

besos,

M
