Friday Pretties: Finding Balance

Finding Balance - yes!

Are you craving the weekend like i do? 
Somehow, my schedule and head are both so full at the moment, that i really look forward to some free time. The weather's been crazy here (cold!), but tomorrow will be fine and i look forward to
a long and lazy breakfast
a walk over the fleamarket
an art exibition
meeting friends and
sitting outside in a local winery,
talking and eating something nice,
go on reading ...
... Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything by  Elizabeth Gilbert .Maybe you know it already - it's been on the Bestseller list for along time and now out as a film with Julia Roberts. I love this book. It's wise and funny and the author feels like a good friend already.

  4. My sweet, sweet Martina! Oh I was out all day long, and what a lovely surprise to see this darling post....DID YOU PAINT THIS? And I must see this movie with Julia....I haven't read the book. Oh sweet one, I love your plans that you have written out here! One thing I find as I "mature"....I am learning to enjoy the slower life style and that it is O.K. to do such things as you describe....one enjoys every fleeting moment so much better! And let's have that last Creamsicle!!!! BISOUS, Anita
