In Which August 2026 Ends, slightly above average, for all it is due

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! I trust it should be time for us now to wrap up the month of August! How was yours? As for my own, it went fast, and though not on the top 5 best months of my life, specially due to the bellow average birthday time, it was not a lost case scenario, in fact, retrospectively, it was a productive one, far more than I was anticipating, and specially concerning writing. It is true that financially it was a profoundly rough month, and in other aspects, such as the longing for chatting with my best friends more often, which for now could not happen, it went lackluster, but we did have had good news, such as the new DLC for Age of Empires 3 DE, coming, at least on the schedule, on September 10th. You know how chaotic a gane release can be, even of a DLC, reason why I don't know for sure if it will actually come on September, or will be delayed, but thinking that just two months ago we deemed Age 3 all but on maintenance mode, that is a remark...

In which we say hello to the month of August!

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday and happy month of August! Here we are, in my favorite month of the year! My birthday is coming, and I'm looking forward to celebrate it! My head is held high and I'm disposed to have a nice month! Do I hope for this month to be perfect? Not at all, far from that! There's no such thing as perfect, I'm fully aware this month can have bad moments, but I'm gonna try my best to focus on the good, and be patient when things are not good! I think patience is a very important thing, no wonder they say it's a virtue, and not only because so many people want rushed results and want to escape from anything as quick as possible, many times at any cost, completely blind to the potential bad consequences of it! I'm happy we are in August, I'm happy to wake up on the right foot and receive every day with a smile, and to keep the smile as the day goes through! 
I'm so excited to be entering this month I completely forgot to ask, how are you doing today? How are things going? As always, I wish for the best, and am so happy to have you here! As I say, the doors of this divagation store are always open to you, dear reader! I didn't have anything planned for today, unfortunately, but I just wanted to share those thoughts with you! Of course, I hate to just vomit my thoughts here without adding something that may be of value to you, so let's look at this painting I found a while ago, it's truly wonderful!


This wonderful illustration was made by a russian artist called Ivan Bilibin (1876-1942), who lived in the latest years of Tsarist Russia and after 1917 throughout Europe, but returning to his country in 1936, now under soviet control. His life however was cut short by the Nazi invasion that devastated an already devastated country in WWII. His life is indeed tragic, but his works, as you can see, are far from tragic! 
I'm looking forward for the posts of August, it's definitely gonna be a good month for the blog! As for now, this picture is what we have, hope you liked as much as I did! See you next time! Thank you so much for reading this, you're the best!
