A warm summer night.
It’s warm tonight. There is a breeze blowing in my back door, which is open, and the sounds of late night drinks and social gatherings carries inside the flat. My little peice of the world tonight is at happily at play, and there are very little cares on anyones mind.
It’s this time right now that is the reward for the long cold winter; a time when everything is fine and beautiful people come together to celebrate life, love, friendship, and good times. It’s something very unique to Europe I think. I haven’t experienced anything quite like this in any other place that I have been in the world. I guess it’s the combination of people, culture, and geography that all coalesce to give us that magical experience which is the European summer.
Maybe also this magical feeling is something that is inside of me right now as well. I have had an epiphany, a moment of enlightment when a path blazed clear and bright in front of my eyes with such clarity that I felt it must have been illuminated by fate. I won’t tell you what it is now. I need some time to do that because it is quite important and I want to do it justice. Right now, my idle distraction is coming over and I want to surrender myself to a night of summer loving. In a couple of days I’ll write about my new found direction in life, and how it has changed me.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a great summer.
Padwanna!

Wow Padwanna, Seems like youre love off live and people is coming back together with the summer, that’s great.It does feel like a reward after a cold winter were people were much more to them selves. Me i work in a very small clothes shop and guess what all the woman are so eager to buy new summer stuff that it is to funny, every day we struggle to keep our shop in order it’s like a swarm off bees. Afterwards i’m so tired that i deserve a cold rosee on a terrace, and there is nothing better then that in summer. I am very curious what this new path of you will be. Enjoy the summer and talk to you later, Pippi

Hi Pippi,
Nice to hear from you as always. 
Yes I think all of us in Europe are celebrating the return of summer and the lovely warm weather that lets us finally be outside.
You made me laugh with your comment about women swarming through your shop each day in the race to outfit themselves in slinky new summerware. I can really imagine you being run off your feet trying to keep up with everyone.
Enjoy your chilled rose on the terrace, and enjoythe warm weather. It’s going to be a marvelous summer I think
Have fun and read you soon,
Padwanna!

Those calm, magical moments are fantastic. Especially when they come with an epiphany.
Good luck with your new direction!
