CURRENT MISSION

"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail." Walden" (1854) Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

ABOUT ME

I stay in Athens, in a small flat of two rooms, that I occasionally share with my son George, 31, who is a musician and plays the double bass. Most of my time is free because I am retired. I fill it with photography and art lessons (take) and voluntary work with kids and computer lessons (offer).
Traveling is also a good time filler :)
I love driving my car..! My spirit remains young, I am an open-hearted and open-minded woman, optimistic and happy.

PHILOSOPHY

The older I get, the less I know.
I keep seeing the glass half-full instead of half-empty.

Walking alone across the Samaria Gorge in Crete at dawn, listening to the birds and watching the wild goats at the river.

Teach, Learn, Share
