1/2012 it's been a while

yes, it's been a while since I'd written here last time. And it's totally been my fault; but I was kidnapped... kidnapped by Facebook... I know... FB is not bad in itself but it does require time to spend with "him"... "He" tells you everything about your friends... friends??? mmmh... "he" shows you so many pictures and it can give you so many news, good and bad ones. And slowly, very slowly it begins to run your life. I do not deny it's been such an interesting tool and a useful one too, especially in keeping in touch with the young people I work with, but yet if on one side it gives you a lot, on the other hand “he” does demand!!

Anyway, I’m back here now, on my old friend “blog” with the hope to post something interesting every now and then.

And to start with something very cool, at least I think it’s cool, I would recommend you to have a look at postcrossing; it’s site through which you can send and receive postcard, not e-postcard…. You remember them? They are little piece of cardboard with images or pictures on one side and on the other side you can write, with a normal pen… can you still hold one? Whatever you like. You simply need to send postcards all over the world to people you will probably never meet, but to whom you’ll give a little time of happiness with your postcards, and words and time you’ve spent for them. I love receiving postcards from countries I think I won’t ever visit, I like reading what people from different countries write to unknown recipients, I like to see what people of different countries tend to post and so on.

Well that’s it for now, I hope to post very soon some picture of the monastery where I live now.
Take care everyone and
God bless you all
