It is my birthday...

and here is song, which fits in just perfect:).

In the 33rd year of her journey 
She hits the hard land of wonder  
That nothing prepared her for  
And the guide books go blank and guideless 
And the guiding lights are holes in the darkness 
And parachutes won't unfold
 

It's her birthday - the candles are burning  
And the memories keep returning  
Glossy postcards from some other life  
She reopens her box of glory  
But she can only see blossoms falling  
How the gravity brings things down
 

Am I the river, or am I the boat?  
There's swirly dark water wherever I go  
Am I the paper, or am I the pen 
 Possessed and driven By some Greater Hand...?
 

So tired of constant trying 
In the red eye of another day dying 
She sees beauty she'll never embrace  
Still haunted by phantoms of freedom 
She turns to the innocent wisdom  
Engraved in her daughter's face
 

Am I the river, or am I the boat?  
There's swirly dark water wherever I go  
Am I the paper, or am I the pen  
Possessed and driven By some Greater Hand...?
 

So, could it be love is all that matters  
That rough pillow of splinters and feathers  
No one ever can rest upon?  
As she follows the smell of roses  
Is she choosing or being chosen  
Moving closer or farther from home?
 

Am I the river, or am I the boat?  
There's swirly dark water wherever I go 
 Am I the paper, or am I the pen  
Possessed and driven By some Greater Hand...?

Jesiennie...

Mielismy w tym roku sporo naprawde pieknych, slonecznych jesiennych dni.
Uwielbiam te mocne, nasycone czerwienie, pomarancze i zolcie...
Baraszkowanie z Nadia wsrod opadlych lisci i poszukiwania tego najladniejszego:).
I nawet jesli czasami nie jest tak do konca sucho i potem trzeba suszyc buty, warto isc na jesienny spacer:).

We have had quite a few really beautiful, sunny autumn days.
I just love these full, bright shades of red, orange and yellow...
I like a lot playing in the fallen leaves with Nadia and looking for the prettiest one:).
And even if sometimes it is a little wet and we have to leave our shoes to dry later, the autumn walk is still worth it:).

Big changes...

W moim zyciu zachodza wlasnie duze zmiany, dlatego mniej mnie ostatnio na blogu, a obawiam sie, ze bedzie i jeszcze mniej:(...
Zmieniam prace, z latania na pol etatu, na prace w biurze na caly etat.
Na pewno bedzie ciezej, czas moj skurczy sie jeszcze bardziej, ale praca bedzie mysle bardziej rozwijajaca, przyszlosciowa, jednym slowem: lepsza.
Pewnie bede czasem tesknic, ale z drugiej strony mysle, ze juz starczy;) a jestem teraz na etapie, ze moim marzeniem jest byc w domu co wieczor, kazdy wieczor... I moc jesc sniadanie w domu, co dzien o tej samej porze. I spac w swoim wlasnym lozku! Przyziemne mam marzenia, wiem;))).
Prosze o kciuki, bo jednak po 7,5 latach spedzonych w samolocie, bedzie to dla mnie ogromna zmiana, rowniez stylu zycia, troche sie stresuje...

There are big changes going on right now in my life, that is why there is not a lot of me on the blog lately, and I am afraid it is going to be even less:(...
I am changing a job, from flying part-time to full time office job.
I am sure it is going to be harder, my time will shrink even more, but the job will be more challenging, more of the future, just: better.
I guess I will be missing it sometimes, but on the other side I think that enough is enough;) and I am at a stage now, that my dream is to be home in the evenings, every evening... And to eat breakfast at home, same time every day. And sleep in my own bed! I have very down to earth dreams, I know;)))).
Please keep your fingers crossed for me, as after 7,5 spent on the planes, it is going to be a huge change, also a life style change, and I am a little stressed out...

Summer holidays...

Nasze wakacje w Polsce dobiegają końca, chciałam więc wkleić chociaż kilka zdjęć, zatrzymanych w kadrze szczęśliwych chwil, zabaw w słońcu, wędrówek po lesie, zbierania kwiatków i patrzenia w niebo częściej niż zwykle:)).

Spędziliśmy przemiłych kilka tygodni w domu moich rodziców w podwarszawskiej wsi. Smutno będzie żegnać się z nimi jutro, ale każde wakacje niestety kiedyś się kończą... Pozostają zdjęcia właśnie i ciepło wspomnień w sercu:).

As our holidays in Poland are coming to an end, I wanted to at least put a few photos, a snapshots of happy moments, playing in the sun, walking in the forest, picking the flowers and looking up the sky more often than usually:)).
We have spent great couple of weeks in my parents home, in a small village not too far from Warsaw. It will be sad to say goodbye to them tomorrow, unfortunately holidays can't last forever... But, along with these photos, many special memories will stay in our hearts:).

Porzeczkowo!

Porzeczkowo, wakacyjnie i swobodnie:))).
Wlasnie tak nam teraz jest!

Red berries, holidays and freedom:))).
This pretty much sums up "now"!
