Here it is what I consider a good example of an ironic situation.

You wake up not too much late on Sunday morning, as both you and your husband have to work on your pc....

While you are having breakfast, you think that it could be nice going to the public library, after lunch, and work there until dinner time. Then, you could also have dinner in a pub of the city centre. Sounds good!

So, to optimize your time, you have a very short lunch, you get dressed and you run out of your flat.

You arrive at the public library (which is full, despite it's Sunday), looking for the only two seats remained (obviously, they are located at different tables, so you won't be sitting together) and start working.

After only one our (which is just the minimum time needed to concentrate), a polite female voice says that "the library will be closing in 10 minutes"....

Ops: you forgot that today the winter time-table started!

so, no afternoon in the library....

.... no dinner in a pub....

.... just came back home!

   I said I love cats; I had many cats during my life and I loved (and still love) all of them.

When I was a child I also had a dog, a brown dachshund given me as Christmas present by a cousin of mine, but he stayed with me for a very short period (as it was impossible to keep him in an apartment without garden at all) and I don't remember to much about him or about our relationship. Also, I was too young to appreciate the company of a pet. That's way I've always said that I have a deeper feeling with cats than with dogs, but the truth is that I don't know dog enough.

In any case, I think that having a puppy as Christmas present represents the realization of a dream for every child!

But, let's come back to the theme of this article: I was talking about pets. 

Now I'm living in England and it's fantastic how many bunnies and squirrels are there in this country! Not only in the countryside, but also in the beautiful gardens and parks into the cities. In particular, I have grey squirrels on my back garden.

I have observed them for a long time behind my bedroom's window and I think they are very smart animal, able to face, despite their small size, the difficulties of a wild life! Do not forget, indeed, that cats are dangerous enemies of squirrels and gardens in the cities are frequently full of greedy cats! But squirrel, anyway, do escape from cats and survive.... quite often, I think.

The lovely grey squirrel that I'm feeding in this period is a female. When I tidy up my bedroom, in the morning, and I open the window, the little squirrel come and began waiting for food! She's so gracious and sometimes she stays on a wood fence near my window looking at the room.

In particular, I like the way she runs when she sees my hand carrying peanuts!

I really would like to touch her, but she is wild and presently I don't see any way to domesticate her..... But in the end I think this is fine: she' living her life and I just help her with food. She's free to come near my window or not, it's up to her. I like it anyway.

Just a simple consideration about life.

Waiting for an answer, a very important one, may be exasperating. Sometimes you are sitting at your desk, trying to work, or write, or just read something very stupid hoping to take your mind off, but thinking continuously to that big question... It's the question of the day, of the week or it's simply the question of your life. It's a kind of question that leaves you breathless for concern and makes you tired. 

You really would like to find an answer, which is at the same time a solution, but you are also afraid to and would prefer to wait. Or maybe any answer is possible... So a fleeting moment can last long and long. And it may damage you from the inside, impairing all is good in your life.

But the question is: could we avoid such a dreadful condition and be so selfish to focus principally on what is going well in our life? Could anyone be immune to anxiety?

Could anyone, who’s not crazy at all, just continue living in his fairy tale despite troubles?
