It has been a while since i last posted anything.....
A few things have been happening, it actually feels like a lifetime since i posted and dunno where to start...
I'm unfortunately no longer going to Tibet, the trip got cancelled because they did not have the minimun amount of people required to run the trip, i was so dissapointed when they emailed me.I had a little cry, because this was my trip of a lifetime, but now other stuff is happening and i'll try and get there next year, otherwise,plan a different trip, there's a whole world out there waiting for me to discover it..
Last weekend i was in Mallorca with Brendan, 4 days of sunshine and relaxation, it was great, althought most of the tourists(actually about 80%)looked over 50. Not the most exciting place, but pretty enough, and hey i did want a relaxing trip.
In no rush to go back as i didn't find the island that pretty, but as i said- glad i did it, the beaches are very nice.
Have to make a plan where to go next, at some stage go back to Portugal for a few days, and maybe join my friends in their backpacking trip through Spain, i really want to go back to Seville, a beautiful city. So many places to go, so little time...
In other areas of my life...
My brother is now a "god" because he is a paratrooper, and he completed 6 jumps, i'm so proud of him, everytime time i speak to him on the phone, he sounds very tired but pleased and it has been a long while since i heard him speaking of something with such entusiasm. I can't wait to see him again..
And at work is all good, my boss has been off this week, what a bliss, he is a nice person, but a pain in the ass with his little silly things.
Cant wait for this weekend...
All for now... all those news seem to have been reduced to pretty much nothing.
Keep all
Isabel
My journey through day to day life, useless thoughts, pissed of days, happy days... travels.. My world..

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (Sonnet 18)
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare

New year, new life??!!!!
Not really, same old shit really...
Work- some talks about me changing jobs.. not sure if really interested, but just gonna wait and see what happens. Apart from that everything remains the same.
Home- apart from being a bit sick of listening to weddings arranjments ( ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ), all is well. I do feel i need to go away though, need to go home for a while and have time to see everyone to spend time with my brother, to be there and know what's happening to him, i seem to always be the last one to know what's going on in his life, and never know the whole truth, he tries very hard not to tell me things he knows would worry me or irritate me.
I need time for myself.

I wish you enough..
Recently, I overheard a Mother and daughter in their last moments together
at a regional airport. They had announced her departure and standing near
the security gate, they hugged and she said to her daughter, "I love you.
I wish you enough."
She in turn said, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough.
Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom."
They kissed and she left.
She walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there, I
could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her
privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to
someone knowing it would be forever?"
"Yes, I have," I replied.
"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?" I asked.
"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and
the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.
"When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, "I wish you enough.
May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other
generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."
She paused for a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail,
she smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have
a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," she continued.
Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting
it from memory.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much
bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."
She then began to sob and walked away.
My friends and loved ones, I wish you ENOUGH!!! They say "It takes a minute
to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them,
but then an entire life to forget them"
My friends and loved ones, I wish you ENOUGH
