CURRENT MISSION

living is making a painting, not solving a sum.

ABOUT ME

Can't believe I'm 50 ! There's still a girl in me.(still, I also appreciate the benefits of some life-experience)
For the rest:ask my friends, or, even better: find out yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing's for sure, and not even that.
The more you learn, the more you know how little you know.
Life is horrible and wonderful, heavy and light, simple and complicated, to be taken very seriously and not to be taken seriously at all, at the same time.
Everything is relative, depending on how you are able to look at it.
