Have fun - whatever you do - enough to make you happy and not hurt anyone else.
2019: Prove to me that you deserve it.
The artist (official photographer of National Geographic, awarded 2 times with the Pulitzer Prize and founder of everydayrefugees.org) had initially posted the photo on his personal Instagram account 5 days earlier by writing in the caption:
The last full moon of 2018 rised yesterday above Propylaea, the monumental gate of the ancient Acropolis hill, next to the 2500 BC Parthenon temple in Athens, Greece.
As it was expected, after NatGeo was republished this photo, it became viral on all social networks, glorifying the beauty of the Greek Acropolis of Athens, and has collected thousands of (mostly) positive reviews and comments from users of Instagram around the world.
With what photo would you bid farewell to 2018?
Because what is important is to maintain your good health and to keep on dreaming with all your heart of a very beautiful tomorrow, perhaps even better than today, to rebuild your inner faith and set your goals to succeed it.
Positive thoughts, positive energy, lots of wishes and Merry Christmas!
Christmas Eve today.
Can you feel the vibes?
The streets of Athens are still busy, as long as the gift shops are open and probably will be busier later again when the places where you can enjoy a Christmas Revegion will open.Have a wonderful time, whatever you do, regardless of whether you choose to stay alone or celebrate with friends in a friendly house or go out - and as I always say - make sure you are with the ones you love.
And if you don't have those people right beside you now, except from thinking about them - do something that will bring them closer to you or that will prove that you really love them.
Make emotions work for YOU, instead of against you.
Merry wishes to those who celebrate their namedate!
Festive wishes to all the people!
Merry Christmas!
Or maybe not?
In Greece summertime is a pretty awesome time too.But let's not travel in time right now! Let's enjoy the moment we live. And what is better than a walk in the center of Athens at this time of the year when it's almost (♫ Merry♪) Christmas babe?
Shops are open today for Christmas shopping untill 18.00!
Did you shop already gifts for your lovables?
I am not ready yet. I still got some shopping to do! I've got to run! Kisses to all of you!
the final full moon of the year, falling less than a day after the December solstice and is also coincided with a spectacular meteor shower.In North America, they call the December full moon the Long Night Moon, Cold Moon or Moon Before Yule. In the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s summer now, names for this full moon include Strawberry Moon, Honey Moon and Rose Moon.
Where and with who would you like to watch this special full moon?
The last time the December solstice and full moon happened less than a day apart was in 2010, and the next time will be 2029.
Sounds like a double celebration to me!
Also in 4 days it's Christmas, in 11 days is the New Year's Day and to keep you off with my own calculations and annual reports I let you enjoy it with a loving quote from Murakami - that says a lot, even what I don't want or what I just can't say here.
“As time goes on, you'll understand.
What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't.
Time solves most things.
And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself.”

Did you visit the Stavros Niarchos Foundation this year to see how beautiful they have embellished for Christmas and New Year's Eve?
If you are in Athens this time of the year, I suggest you to visit this marvelous park and foundation with its artistic interiors and exteriors (Address: 364 Syggrou Avenue, 176 74 Kallithea, Athens, Greece) and enjoy its beauty and all the celebrating events that are taking place for Christmas and New Year's celebrations.
The entrance to the park and to the foundation it's totally free, it's an ideal visit for couples, friends and families with kids and you only might have to pay an admission if you like to take part to a special activity or watch some extra performances (check all the events at the SNFCC here).
Today I upload a new personall review on a low cost highlighter stic from Gabrini cosmetics that I recently tryed.

Don't forget to send me your reviews too! Kisses!
I knew. I still know.
Sylvia Plath put it into words - long time ago - and that's my today's mood with which I want to influence yours:
“When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know. "Oh, sure you know," the photographer said. "She wants," said Jay Cee wittily, "to be everything.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
Plus I want to remind you that there are left less than 15 days untill Christmas.
What are your plans about Christmas eve?
Do you love Christmas or you just hate this time of the year?I think it has to do with the loneliness we feel deep inside when we don't share memorable times with people who love us and who we love.
The more lonely we feel the greatest the hate.
Anyway, the second thing I want to remind you about today is that (in Greece) we celebrate the no widely known nameday of Anna, Annita, Anneta, Aneza etc. Don't forget to send them your warmest wishes!
Enjoy your Sunday and keep it bright like a SUNday.
One of those who celebrate their birthday today is me and my grace.
Also Thursday is the day I was actually born.
So the present picture is from the old-known L-diaries / mood stories you've loved so much and it's a recent life quote of the past days.
“Neither for relations, nor for finances.
The only wisdom I gained through the years
is not to let the child in me grow older.”
Kisses with one more year on my shoulder,
not as weight but as
honorary as a medal.

December is the month that almost every day is a celebration like a nameday or the birthday of some good friends, relatives and lovables (like my brother's birthday today - Yeah, my love Dimos, Happy Birthday! Stay always healthy, strong and happy!) as well as my own birthday (soon).
But today - as every year this day since 1988 - is the World AIDS Day, is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease.
