In Which I start February with a loose map in mind

Good morning, dear friend! Happy February 1st, we have made it through the very chaotic and eventful month of January!! How nice is that? How are you, by the way? As for me, I am okay, it was a week of turbulence for me, as I started it without my meds, they ran out and it took me some days for my psychiatrist be able to give me the prescriptions. Just those few days without the medicine was enough to cause me immense instability, which is also one of the reasons I could not write on the blog, and I did try. I wanted to have a last week of January much more productive than it actually was, but anyway, it is what it is.  The weather has been quite miserable, we are on the late height of Summer, wirh the temperature rising to 31 celsius in the afternoon, and staying as such for a while, and the more the sun shines, the hotter the atmosphere in my area gets, due to the asphalt. That said, not all is bad, because march and April, coming next, are months that in one hand have the hottes...

Picture of the week! In which we have the path of the Reindeer!

Happy Monday everyone and good morning! Happy December as well, Season's Greetings! The most beautiful time of the year! My favorite season, besides my birthday! Even when I think I'm not celebrating enough, this is nonesense though, as Christmas is supposed to be celebrated at its own rhythim! Fast or slow, it depends on you! So, how was your weekend? How are you this morning? I hope things are well and I wish you the best! For me Weekend was calm and okay! I played some games! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot, and hot, so hot I gave water to my succulents, as they don't need too much water, they're desert plants, I plan on giving more water to them only the week after the next one, which means: Christmas week! Should be an awesome time for sure! And speaking of Christmas, I have a picture to share with you guys! The Path of the Reindeer, with the lyrics of the song O come O come Emmanuel following it! Hurray!



O come, o come Emmanuel
To free your captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice o Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel
...

This is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics with a beautiful picture following it, the path of the reindeer, where those christmas animals on Lapland live happy. I mean, of course there're reindeers out of Lapland, and they're also happy, I think so, but the thing is I love Reindeers and I love Lapland, region where some say live Santa Claus. The story behind how Santa left Italy to live on the North Pole varies from person to person, and some don't even call Santa Santa, in Poland, he is called Święty Mikołaj! (thank you Arthur Christmas), in Brazil, where I live, we call him Papai Noel! Some call him Father Winter! On an episode of my fave show, The Office, Dwight present us to his version of Santa: Belsnickel, which is an... exotic version of Santa, more tied to how sometimes Santa was portrayed in other times! You see, there is more than meets the eye, and traditions can have beautiful stories and interesting facts! I will try to come with more Christmas Facts on the next post, if I can, but anyways, thank you so much guys for being here today, means a lot, see you all next time! And happy December, Merry Christmas!
