The mountains - My love

People usually ask: Which do you prefer? The sea or the mountains? As for me – definitely the mountains. I am not a fan of „frying“ my body on the beach because to me it is boring. I prefer something more active, for example hiking. Since early childhood I spent my holidays in the mountains with my parents and I would say it influenced me a lot. I tend to the nature, I just love to escape from the rush of the city.

The mountains can give you a lot but sometimes they might be even unpredictable. T

Writing challange : A six word story

I saw myself in my kid.
Category: true story

This is my story. To look at my kid and to see myself, this is something I can hardly describe by the words. To watch their smile which is yours is maybe the best gift u could have ever got. To look into their eyes and to see their love they give u is worth living. To watch them growing up and to realize they have similar character , these all are aspects of life that give us - parents energy and inspire us to live colorful and meaningful life.

Hello, this is my first time I participate in Writing Challenges. 

Wish luck to all participants. Here we go.

Story is true, sad, and cruel at the same time.

"Born 0. Died 20. Buried 80"

This is my own idea, about peoples' lives. About meaning, purpose and adding value of it. About finding yourself, your own idea of life. It doesn't say about material wealth, but all aspects, that made you fill comfort and brings happiness to your life. 

Many people spend their life meaningless, poor in grey colours.

My First Group

2346792349?profile=original

I couldn’t describe it, but I wanted to share it.  This time, I failed to write the precise words that would give a vivid picture of what I truly felt.  I was stunned, fell short of words, too happy, or maybe too excited.  Oh, I don’t know, but I really felt grateful as I am, always. 

I guess this was what others felt when they published their first blog after being dormant for a very long time. 

Guess what!  The first group I created yesterday after having stayed in EC for almost 4 years, has bee

Colors of time

    Do you know what the colors of time are? When the seasons change, each has its own featured color. All tiny green leaves are growing and tell you that spring has come. Summer arrives with golden sunshine and red flowers, and in Vietnam it is called flower for students, because it blossoms just in summer and it warns of the end of the long school year. Yellow falling leaves are an absolute sign of autumn, the most beautiful season of the year with little cold breezes and thin fog. Early in th
