The colors of happiness ...



The colors of the ocean on a sunny day are the colors of longing ...

 ... or the colors of happiness?  Of perfect summer bliss? All this green and white and blue and turquoise, speckled with gold here and there - i still see it, when i close my eyes and i hear the sounds too and i smell the warm skin with lotion on it ...
These pix were taken at the Italian Riviera some weeks earlier this year.

On saturday we're going on another trip - this time to Munich and to Austria, to see my family and celebrate my dads birthday. Hope you'll all have a very lovely time until than - i can't believe this is the last month of summer already - let's make the most of it!

  9. Ahhh......the color of happiness. Indeed.

    And the sounds of happiness, such as, "ALL IS HEALTHY. NO CANCER." Now those words are joy.

    Thank you dearest friend, Martina, for coming to visit my post. It was a scary moment in the examination room, but it sure was a time to churn the ideas for a poem! Light and dark do live together to make a more complete image.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! Anita

Then school starts on Sept. 4!!!!!!! Oh Martina, it was a lovely summer my dear friend! Yes, test results are always so stressful, but I can rejoice for NOW!
