...and he is Jerry

I could make a photo of him and honestly i think he is beautiful too ... :)

Me and Jerry....(How I became friend with a mouse)

He is Jerry. Yes, it's him. And for three months i felt as Tom. I've tried to convince him to get out of his hole, tried to give some good apples so could catch him but nothing to do. He's definitely a clever mouse....

He usually pass through this passage (photo below). Me and my friends tried for so long to catch him with traps but nothing to do... that's why i decide to call him "Jerry". He's clever friends. 

passage of Jerry

He has a house too, not a big hole, e little one, and i think he lives alone and is single :), except him never seen guest or other "friends" going up and down this hole. That was an advantage. If i would have seen others like him, i would have been able to call the "italian army" to catch his similiars.  

house of Jerry

So we were at war together, since on day. He get out of his house and was looking me curiously. I had the feeling that he was not afraid, was just curious, and did not escape, as always did. Well... i was afraid more than him friends...! nonsense...! what could had done to me a little mouse like him. So i did not run way as usual to prepare the trap or call someone, but took some bread and drop it near to him. Belive it or not, he starts to eat the bread, before me and did not left till he finished. Then, i put some water near and he drinks a few. I told you he was a clever mouse, or a crazy one (?) At least, i am a little crazy too, i start to feed a mouse three times in one week... ! Now that i'am preparing to go out of Italy i think I'll miss him a little bit and probably he shall miss me too. All i know is that today we are friends. Yes Tom and Jerry became friends. 

- > Sometimes things that we fear are not so tremendous, and sometimes tremendous things are near to us, and we don't see them. The secret is to have an open mind about the world, and face our irrational fears. Probably, Jerry gave me a good lesson with his bravery, and i belive he is going to find always his passage somehow in his life. Well isn't that what we all want ? (I'll post of him the photo later)

Other five steps to hapiness

Hi people ! Hope you are doing well today. I'm. In fact I have a lot to do in these days, that's because of my travelling abroad, but in these minutes i want to share some thoughts rearding happiness...

If you remember i wrote something about it sometime before, and today, i want to share other five steps to hapiness. Well hapiness is not something that we find right now. In this moment you can find good feelings, but of course, at first you must find your road, and it takes years sometimes, it depends on who you are or what you are looking for. 

You can make choices, work hard, earn money. The secrets of hapiness are not money or gold you'll find in your life. You can spend your time earning more and more money, diamonds, and still you may not find happiness. Otherwise, you can meditate all time, and still you are not on your road. I don't think being a priest apriori, makes you happy. The secret of happines, is related to finding the purpose of your life, your real life, and then to live it day by day. 

Now, regarding happiness, don't forget that: 

- Religion, is not going to bring you ON your road. Nothing is going to put you on your way back "Home" (i'll explain what i call Home), if you truly don't feel that inside of you. Listen to your soul. That's The Voice. Religion often makes the soul suffer, because of so many rules inside it. Nothing against religions but, i truly belive that the path to your "Home" is not one religion... but all religions. There are so many truths inside them, but they may be are not still enough for you. Listen to your souls, (feelings, they are the Guide).

What you wear ? I thing that there is beauty everywhere. Beauty is related with what makes you feel in confort with you body (clothes), in your house, and in your mind, with others. So study carefully your body, and buy what really suits you. Valentino ? No thanks. Not because he is not a good designer, but because i don't think he deserve all that money, related to the financial world, and the frustration of his models. Have you ever seen them ? Half dead. If you really want to spend money, then find a designer, e perfect stranger to you. If you belive he/she makes good work, then he/she is the right one. Or buy clothes, that really suits you. Don't follow moda, just beacuse i marchi grossi,thinks that's beautiful for this season.

Sintony. You will be always unhappy if you think that you are not part of this world. Try to enter in sintony with people around you. And if you don't like them, then follow your road. Don't try to change them. Don't spend energy on this. You are not a tree, you have two legs and you can move on, for sure.

 

You will never be happy. Yes, you will never be happy, if you don't protect you own space. What is that? Well, there is a space in everyone, between us and The Source (God). Don't let anyone enter in that space, because they can controlle your actions, mind, soul. You will never grow up in this way. That space must be protected only by you, must be puried with meditations because is only yours and saintS. You can pray, or you can act. My suggestions is act. For ex: If you want to call someone. Do that. Nothing is going to hurt you friend. So if you feel that's the right thing to do.

- There is all love around you. Stars, Sun. All the universe loves you. Have you ever seen the stars, in a dark night with a a fantastic shining ? Have you ever have that feeling that they are communicating just with you ? Don't be ashamed to admit that. All the Universe communicates with us. They were going to leave a message to you. Maybe what you were thinging was right, what you were doing it right. The mesages of  the Universe are everywhere around you. Keep them in your heart, and be awake. The darkness is not something that a human being is destinated to. There is an empty space, called darkness. It is waiting for you to be fullfilled, with actions, decisions, love. Follow your soul and you will see, how your life will change. 

Pensieri per il giorno/ Thoughts for Today

* Albania is my home... Italy also... the aeroplane is. As a matter of fact, i have a lot of homes; all inside of me... we are the travelers, love the New as an archeologist loves his discoveries... we don't have a place that could be enough, because we are the citizens of all civilizations... (Doriana Metollari)

* Albania è casa mia... Italia anche... l'aereo....in realtà ho molte case, penso; tutte dentro di me.... noi siamo i viaggiatori, amiamo il Nuovo come un archeologo ama le sue scoperte... non abbiamo un posto che ci può bastare, perché siamo i cittadini di tutte le civiltà...(Doriana Metollari)

Rozafa Castle and Krap

Yes, i'm here again. Well in fact i'm doing all the things i need for Albania. Yes, i'm going there...soo happy :). Well, what i must say about Albania ? A lot of things, but more i would like to present a photo of my city Shkoder. This is the castle "Rozafa". I love it ! Everyone loves it  my friends !

According to the legend, here was walled a young women, who sacrificed herself as a gift to the gods, to save these walls. And inside it there is a white wall. The legend tells us, in that place could have been walled the young women, mother of a little child. It is a sad story, but really interesting. Shkodra is considering the "Firenze" of the Balkan region. There is good meal (bio), cheap prices...there is a lake, there are dy big rivers. 

If you go there don't forget, you must absolutely eat the fish called "krap", is traditional in Shkoder. Just order "Tave Krapi" in a restaurant and there is no place as in Shkoder, where you can eat it as they can prepare...mmmm...It will cost not a lot of money, but belive me my friends.. it is fantastic.

what to say more ? See you soon !

Improve your existence - > My Rules

If you really want to improve your life, you must find and then create your own rules. What is good for you, may be is not for me, or someone else, but anyway i've five rules, that improve my life. I'm sure will have a good influence in you life too. There are simple rules, i'm going to write down for you. I saw that some people from Indonesia, USA, Italy, Brasil visit my blog. The world is soo small, and we people, are so similiar and so diffirent. Then let's try together. Try my rules, and let me know if they really have improve your life. If yes, you'll make me happy. There is a great feeling to find that i'm doing well, and help others, makes me feel good too. Here are my five rules, for now...

- > Be awake. There nothing more beautiful than natyre, and world around us. Be awake, and take your time to look sunset, feel the wind at your face. Let your body, mind and soul free to feel the world. Nature will for sure, do something good with you. Nature is very patient but she's always wating for you to be her friend. Don't make her wait. You'll feel so full of univers inside you you. So be awake, if you have some free time, spend it in natyre, in silent place and feel free.


- > There is no devil outside. There is no negative energy. There are energies that are still kept in prision, and transformed into fear. Face these negative thoughts, don't escape from yourself, be strong and face all what life bring. Don't be anger, let yourself free to be misunderstand, let the fear pass through your mind and body and soul. It cannot hurt you, beacuse it doesn't exist. Face it, smile to it, and then go on your road. The world is so beautiful.

- > Listen to your soul. It is important. All the indications, that came from your soul help you in your life. The best friend you can ever had. Listen always and follow the sansations of your soul. They are feelings, true ones.

- > Don't to much eat, for no reason. Eat genuine meal. Spend all the time you need in kitchen, beacuse eating i something important in this life. Eat good, bio, use honey instead of sugar, not to much meat, vegetables, and make the bread in home. It's is sooo good. (I'll publish the recipe of the my bread soon ). When you eat your table must be not only clear, but also beautiful. So you can eat and enjoy all the rest. Don't hurry, not for eating.

- > Don't keep negative energies inside of you. Put them out with meditation, sport, or a good conversation with a friend. Just feel free from them. Don't keep them inside your mind, they can hurt, and try always to find a reason. Once you've found don't think to much, smile again. You are alive...
