Life is the best gift you have been given

Have you felt a pain so deep that makes your whole body shiver?

Do you expect tomorrow to be as dark as today?

Have you felt like hope is gone and there is no future for you?

Do you think there are no good things in your life?

Have you felt so lost that you don’t know where to go?

Do you see all doors closed for you?

Have you felt like you do not have more tears to shed?

The world is a rotten place to live.

I cannot take it anymore.

Everybody is against me.  Nobody understands or cares. 

Sometimes I want run, run far away where nobody can find me.

The weight that I have to carry is too heavy.

The same things continue to happen.

It is always the same.  There is no place to go.

I do not want to be here anymore.

Have you experienced any of the things/feelings described above?  I think we all have.  I believe there is no reason to feel like that. If for some reason the murky thoughts and feelings start to show up, you can scare them away. 

Why? Because I believe that it is always worth to live life.  Because in life there is always more good things than bad things. Because life is full of opportunities.  Because there are limitless, beautiful things to enjoy.  Because right now, at this moment, you are not able to count all your blessings.  Because they are immeasurable.

Look at you.  You are alive!!! And that is the single, most important gift you have been given.  Because it is a privilege to be here.  Because if you are here is because you needed to be here.  Because there is nobody like you.  Because you have a purpose, a mission to fulfill.

Sometimes we forget how many beautiful blessings we have.  Yes, we forget and at that moment we stop seeing the good things.  Gratitude flies far away from us.   Everything starts to look like the same. That is the moment when darkness surround us and we choose to stay there instead of crossing to the bright side.

So believe in the good things life has to offer.  Believe and you will see them every day.  A smile will embellish your face and a sense of joy will invade your body and everything will be different.

And remember that when all the days seem like the same is because we have failed to notice the good things that appear in our lives (quote by Paulo Coelho).

Eat somre cake and enjoy life!!!

March 2018 Travel and Blogging Recap

Image
The beginning of 2018 was a bit quiet travel-wise, but that all changed in March, when I spent half the month in my favorite country in the world: New Zealand! Elliot and I had an amazing time – the only bad part was having to come back home, where winter refuses to give up its grip on Ohio. March: The month in travel I had one big trip in March, but it was a good one! Elliot and I finally went on our proper honeymoon in New Zealand, where we spent two weeks driving around both islands and hitting up all the highlights. (Look out for new New Zealand content in the next couple of weeks!) Countries visited:  2 – USA, New Zealand Cities visited:  6 – Los Angeles, Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown, Christchurch, Wellington Flights taken:  7 Distance driven: 3098 kilometers in New Zealand The best thing I ate:  We had plenty of delicious fish and chips in New Zealand, but I was more excited about being in close proximity to some of my favorite goodies: things like Jaffas and Pineapple

Ski trips threatened by poor snowfall in Alps

Image
(Please) let it snow, let it snow… If you have a ski trip to the French Alps booked for this December you may want to keep a keen eye on the weather forecast, as many of the area’s biggest resorts remained closed over the weekend due to poor snowfall. The second week of December is usually when enthusiastic skiers begin making their pilgrimages to Alpine slopes for some welcome powder therapy, but over the weekend many popular resorts like Chamonix Mont-Blanc and Val d’Isere were closed to skiers as barely any snow had fallen there. Other resorts were only able to open a fraction of their slopes. Some locals are calling it the worst conditions at the start of a ski season since the 1970s (when presumably bell-bottom jeans made skiing rather difficult anyway). The Alpine Skiing World Cup was supposed to be held in the resort of Courchevel, but lack of snow made that a little tricky, and the event has instead been moved to Are in Sweden. While the limited skiing space didn’t prove

Eger and the Valley of the Beautiful Women

Image
Just two hours north of Budapest lies a small city that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the Hungarian capital. A short train ride, and you can trade in the clash of nighttime traffic for a serenade of nighttime insects; the sprawling city for just a few major streets. And instead of Budapest's ruin bars, here you can explore dozens of wine cellars. This is Eger. A city of about 60,000, Eger still manages to possess that Hungarian charm that I fell in love with in Budapest, despite its miniature size. Cobbled streets empty into broad squares with towering cathedrals. Colorful cafes spill out onto sidewalks littered with umbrella-shaded tables. And an ancient castle provides sweeping views out over the whole city. Eger from above In fact, Eger Castle is one of the region's main attractions, with the structure dating back centuries. Even on a rainy Sunday when all the museums and exhibitions were closed, the fortress was well worth a visit. But nobody comes
