A piece of Heaven - Egy darabka menyország

There are places that attract you by their simplicity.

Last week I visited my relatives in Gyergyó - Gheorgheni.
They have a holiday cottage nearby the town, in an absolutely amazing place.

The fresh air, the smell of pine-trees, the green of the grass, the colourful wildflowers, the taste of the berries and the song of the birds enchants your senses.



The everyday stress disappears in seconds, and in a few minutes you feel totally relaxed. In such moments your elementary instincts wake up and burst out from forgotten inner depths.
You need to go for a walk for the excitement of the discovery: every step leads you to a new wonder hidden in a plant, a flower, a tiny mushroom. If you are patient and humble birds, ants, butterflies accompany you on your way, uncovering their little secrets.
You feel that you rediscover yourself, you feel the joy of freedom.

This is happiness.

Do we need something else?

Blog updated

For several years I have used Yahoo 360 for blogging.
Now Yahoo decided to close this blogging service on 13 July, 2009 and recommended us to move our blogs to our Yahoo profile. The place they suggested didn't satisfy my expectation. Thus I decided to move the most interesting blogs here on blogspot, where I already had an account and few posts.
I copied my old blogs on the date they were posted on Yahoo. If you are interested reading them, you can find them via Blog Archive. Enjoy them!
