Spring is in the air!

Hello there,

how is going?

First day of Spring, finally we can say goodbye to Winter even if in lots of country is still snowing.
Very sunny day in Milan, pleasant and enjoyable temperature, about 18-20 °C. The weekend will be not so good, it will rain again for couple of days. Need to be patient!
If there's one thing I hate, it's just the rain, I much prefer a cold and rigid day rather than a rainy and wet one.

So, today to celebrate Spring the postcard represents flowers :D

Isn't very nice? I think they are white cherry blossoms but I'm not 100% sure!

I really love this kind of flowers, they can be also pink.

Rita sent me this card from Lithuania, through postcrossing.com

This flower is a sign of good luck, a message of good wishes, but also a sign of brevity, because of his very short life: about two weeks.

In Japan it become one of the traditional plants of the state. There is a strong relationship between this tree and the flowers and the samurai. 

One of the many legends says that the color of the petals (for those light pink of course) is so because it was impregnated with the blood of warriors who died at the roots. For this reason, only for the samurai was reserved the honor of the cherry blossom tattoo on the body. 

Did you know about these stories? Did you like?

Have you seen the doodle of today in the Google website? It's so nice :)

Time to celebrate! :)

Ciao! :D

how are you guys?

Monday is a day that, more or less, we all hate a little bit! It's the day on which start again the usual monotony after the short break of the weekend.
It's still raining in Milan but the forecasts are encouraging, there should be sunny for some days from Thursday ;)

This week will be very busy, I will have to work a little bit and study and on Thursaday I will be in Rome just for one day!
In exactly one week I will be in Paris for a few days :) I'm gonna getting excited! :D

Well, why the name of the post of today is "Time to celebrate"? Because, with the postcards that I received today (3 of them) I arrived to "quota" 102 :) I got over the 100 postcards.
For me it's a great achievement, I never expected that in such a short time, I would be able to collect all these postcards!
I'm really very happy!

And, I want to celebrate this day with a nice postcard that I got some days after St.Valentine. Vidas, a guy from Lithuania, sent me this very lovely postcard :D 

What is more beautiful than love?

NOTHING!

Besides talking in the narrow sense of love between two people, I mean love in general, love for a friend, to a sport, to a true passion.

So, I'm experiencing, thanks to all those who have sent me, that are sending me and that will send me postcards, a new type of love, became almost obsession, in a good way of course.

I wanna leave you a quote that I like a lot:

“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” 

Robert A. Heinlein

Wish you a great week!

See you soon,

Giuliana
