The most shiny Monday I've had in years


I wish you could be me right now...
The sun is warming my back through the big kitchen windows while I'm sitting by the table drinking my second morning coffee and writing down some thoughts.

Awesome September morning! Just the one you need in order to distance from work, agenda and all the Monday-to-do list. I feel like some magic extra space has opened for me in the last few days. Now I have a city park in my days, fancy coffee shops and pavement artists on the streets, have the time to seаrch through culinary blogs, perform some cooking experiences, look for a new book of some smart and talented Bulgarian writer, check the movies -" Time traveler's wife" is scheduled to be watched these days...so many new things in my long city weekend!!!

I'm going for a walk in the park now - to smell and taste the trees and lеаves, see the people with their kids and dogs and who knows what I can bump in?!

So, I'm going...hope to find some pumpkin to buy on my way...

Fresh, fresh like...early autumn morning fresh


It is a little bit frightening when starting something new - butterflies in the stomach and great expectations.
So, I just won't think of this writing as my first blog writing but just make it quick and easy - log in, write, edit, post and get over with it!
My English is not so good to have a blog in english. I'm just hiding behind the foreign letters, it feels easier to start this way...and to be honest - sounds much more natural - it is a blog for God's sake, not a novel :)))

My long September weekend inspired me to get my things-to-do-in-the-fall list started. So, I officially entered my lovely September autumn (also known as the most creative and inspiring time of the year) with a long walk in the yellow and lеаfy city in Saturday morning. I woke up yesterday and my last memories were from the warm and tired summer mornings of the days passed. But that morning it was different. It felt diferent and it looked different. The streets, the people, the weather, the taxi driver, even my facial-beautician that tortures me on a monthly Saturday basis. The maturity and serenity of the fall has come into town, into us and all over us. It was not so light any more, either the problems nor the coke.
It felt like we were following the same rythm with the world outside. Again tuned and in harmony. Childish and too noisy the summer has gone away, away to the oposite part of the Globe.
I wandered the city in the morning. People in jackets and jeans, pumps and sneakers. The shameless windows of the stores along Vitosha street were flashing with tripled prices of their Autumn-Winter 2010 collections. As usual. We do not expect prices to get lighter. Nothing is lighter this time of the year. And everybody knows it.
Met a dear friend of mine for a quick coffee - we do not have the time for a brunch but it felt so nice sitting by the small wooden table - talking, listening and watching in a good friend's company. The coffee was good too.
As I walked on the way to my english-lessons school, I got to thinking about how fully-charged of desire to change and create felt this begining-of-the-fall period. I was feeling ready for all the big changes. Great expectations! Not light, intense!

Трябва ми. Обещание.

Затварям широко отворения нощен прозорец. Не! Само секунда! Подушвам въздуха към тъмния вътрешен двор. С пълен гръден кош и стомах, ся...
