Saramago is our only Nobel Prize, unchallenged.
One odd figure of our culture and that will be forever in our history books,together with others great Portuguese writers.
What he writes and like he writes it's another thing.
Like everything in life, there are those who like and others who don't like.
Nothing wrong so far!
I personally like a lot. Some years ago,I read the Memorial of the Convent, and then thought and said, who was among other things, one of the most beautiful love stories ever written.
What isn't acceptable and should be subject to repair, is that one man, though with political responsibilities, say publicly that he should change his nationality.
This little man, will go down in history, as a big idiot, capable of nonsense like this.

How we are lucky

A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the grocery store.
As he waited, he was approached by a man called Terry who asked, "Son,
can you tell me where the Post Office is?"

The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a
coupla blocks and turn to your right."

Terry thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. I'd
like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you how to get to
Heaven."

The little boy replied with a chuckle. "Awww, come on... You don't even

A bit of culture

Renoir is surely one of the artists most well known and appreciated by us.
Why?
Maybe his way of always seeking to portray what is beautiful and nice and leave the problems and the ugly thing to the real world.
In his world, Renoir, took only what you did well in the eyes and soul.
So it is easy to like his art.
Without being revolutionary and radical free from any concept, Renoir signed by a nearly universal acceptance.

His idea was not exactly portray the reality, but this situation was causing an impression at the right time.

Renoir and others, like Monet who was his great friend, they created the impressionist school in Paris in the late nineteenth century.

You are, indeed, the only person who continues to visit this blog.

I continued to write because I was happy to learn the English language and even with errors is the only way to get reading English.

Let's make someone happy - 2

I liked to help someone near to me, because I'm not sure that the clothes reach the people who truly need them.
I wish, for example, that the local government, they created a place where we put the clothes, anonymously and simultaneously someone who really need, could go there and get them.

Let's make someone happy

How many of us have clothes in good condition, we do not wear.
What can we do with them?
How many people need clothes to wear or have a job.

There should be an institution that received the clothes and then give to the people who wanted to.
I don't know any institution.
Who knows?
How many people we could help by making their dreams come true

Quotes From George Washington To Barack Obama

September 11

Eight years ago today, on September 11, 200l, our country witnessed the worst terrorist attack in our history as hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. The majority of the victims came from the World Trade Center in New York City.

What beautiful movie.......
It hurt my heart to see this film.....
But in the end it makes us laugh and feel good.....

And if Dr. House was made in the Azores?

G-spot

"For women the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.”
Isabel Allende

I agree
and you?

A candle in the night

You look at all the people:
men. women, children and you read today
in their eyes an only heart,
what cries the search of liberty for a best world.

You breathe the color of your passion,
for the life, for the dialogue and for an only love
where all have voice and dignity.

You turn on the lamp in this night
and you give one thought of yours or a prayer
for the one who has forgotten to be.

You steal away the suffering from the memoirs
engraved in the past
and you pick up the last crumb of hope
because it is now that we can live the peace.

Remember Rachel Corrie

The Murder

On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie and seven other Internaitonal Solidarity Movement (ISM) activists were protesting Israeli house demolitions. Rachel stood in the bulldoze'rs path, but the Israeli Defence Forces driver did not stop. After crushing her, he then put the dozer into reverse, without lifting its blade, and dug the blade over and into her body again.


Three activists ran to her and began administering first-responder medical treatment . . . She said, "My back is broken!" but nothing else.

PAY ATTENTION

You can not leave that to be too late

HOLIDAYS

The sun and the heat came. I go to the south.
Beaches await me

For all of you good holidays

The shadow of your smile

Probably the youngest do not remember this beautiful song.
But listen the music, close your eyes and let it fly .....



One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
To mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
The shadow of a smile


When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakita-natahu. Don't try to pronounce. This great word is written in Maori, and might think that refers to something noble and splendid as a palace or an opulent all-powerful god of a remote civilization. Nothing: it is only the name of a small hill located in the Hawke Bay, New Zealand. Disappointed?

Renew Your Life in Seven Days

Life consists of a series of changes—some changes are large whereas others are small—but regardless of the size, in order to renew and reinvent our lives, we need a plan.
Instead of shocking the system through a few dramatic changes, we have a seven-day, seven-step process that works on physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation. Better yet, this seven-step plan can be used over and over again as you create the life you want.
For today's Daily Action, learn how you can change your life through seven simple and sustainable steps!

DAY 1: RE-CHARGE A Day of Commitment
Focus on changing your mind-set: This is the day to change the thought patterns playing in your mind. Get rid of phrases such as “I can’t.” “Why does this happen to me?” “Things always seem to go wrong.” “After three bad things happen, life will change for the better.” Insert thoughts such as “I can do it.” ” There are creative solutions to any problem.”
Create a visual logo that works for you: Imagine the ocean or the lake, water falls, butterflies, sunshine, moonshine — whatever works for you. Note the image or images that work for you, and if you begin to feel negative, simply bring one of your positive images to mind. Your image is your logo for positive energy.
Tools for Day 1: Motivational books, music, dance, art, all that is inspirational.

DAY 2: RE-VAMP A Day of Planning
What changes do you need to make in your home?
What changes do you need to make in your office?
What changes do you need to make in your exercise routine, OR do you need to begin an exercise routine (with doctor’s permission of course)?
What changes do you need to make in your diet?
Tools for Day 2: A notebook and pen, or computer.

DAY 3: RE-CYCLE A Day of Throwing Out
Choose an area of your home, your garage, your backyard, and clean it out thoroughly. Have three boxes set up: one for things to keep, one for things to repair, and one for things to give to others. The hard work begins.
Do not tackle your whole house on this one-day. This seven-day program can be repeated again, and each time you can choose a new area. You can repeat Day 3 every week for six weeks.
Tools for Day 4: Boxes to sort things in, vacuum cleaner, broom, dust rags, music to play to cheer yourself on through this hard day of work.

DAY 4: RE-FRESH
A Day of Refreshment
This is a day of reward. If you cleaned out your office or home on day 3, then refresh this space with a new plant or bunch of flowers. Give yourself a present. Open the windows and make sure the light can shine in.
Tools for Day 4: A present for yourself.

DAY 5: RE-TURN
A Day of Spiritual Contemplation
This is a day to contemplate your spiritual values and re-turn to the values that are important to you. This is a quiet day of soul searching. In the past two days you have re-cycled some of your belongings and you have refreshed an area of your house or office: you did a lot of physical work. You were involved with a lot of “things.” Today, focus on the soul level. Sit and connect with the God of your understanding and ask questions:
What is the meaning of my life?
What am I here to do in this lifetime?
What am I proud of and what advances have I made in my life?
Which areas of my life need work?
This is the day to take an honest look at the way you spend your time, the people you associate with, the worries that occupy you too much, the fears that you allow to control you, the anger you may have towards others.
Tools for Day 5: An honest heart and an inquiring mind.

DAY 6: RE-INVENT A Day to Change Patterns
Yesterday was an assessment day. It was a hard day. Today is a day to make plans to change the parts of your life that need changing.
Do you have health problems you are not facing? Make an appointment with a health professional or get back to taking care of yourself in the way that you know is best for you.
Are you allowing the problems of others to dominate your life? If so this is a day to make plans to change your schedule. If you are a caregiver, find creative ways to get time off. And do not say, “There is no way.” Find out what your community has to offer. If the person you are taking care of does not want to receive care from others, then you must be strong and explain that you have to have time off.
If you spend all your time compassionately listening to others, remember that you will burn out if you do not have time for yourself. We all know this, but we do not always allow time for ourselves.
Tools for Day 6: A notebook, pen, computer, a telephone, appointment book.

DAY 7: RE-INVEST A Investment Day in All That is Positive
While I hesitate to use the word “re-invest” during this financial crisis, it is time to think about how to best spend your money, how to best spend your time. You have spent an entire week taking a look at your physical and spiritual life. Today is the day to take a good look at your financial life as well. Another coffee for five dollars may not be the best way to go. A lot of takeout food costs money. Are there ways to organize your cooking so that you do not pick up as much food?
Tools for Day 7: Your financial records, your checkbook, a willingness to make changes.
OKAY LET’S GET STARTED AND CHANGE OUR LIVES!

Michael Jackson - Earth Song

Earth Song is Jackson's biggest hit in the UK, selling 1,038,821 copies. The
single sold over three million copies worldwide.
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants
Have we lost their trust
What about crying whales
We're ravaging the seas
What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed
What about the common man
Can't we set him free
What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
What about babies
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the man
What about the crying man
What about Abraham
What about death again
Do we give a damn

What if the pain that seems to be yours is really not yours?

What if the pain that seems to be yours is really not yours? And here I do not mean to belittle personal suffering, but only to offer a larger perspective that may help alleviate it.) The truth if that fear and anger exist outside ourselves. They are not yours or mine, unless we attract them.
Negativity is an invisible parasite. It needs a host to feed off of, and the host is the ego. When you learned as a young child to cling to my toy, my candy, my pleasure, my happiness, at the same time your ego started clinging to the opposite: my scraped knee, my broken doll, my sadness, my pain.
Absorbing an experience as “mine” was how you built your self up, developed a sense of individual identity. As we grew, we learned to see this self in a larger perspective, in the context of humanity. But when tragedy strikes, we often regress to this early state.
To counteract this, we need to find the spirit. For spirit can do one thing that your ego craves very deeply and can’t accomplish on its own. Spirit can help the ego escape that painful trap of I, me, and mine. It is strange but true that the very mechanism that builds the isolated self also wants to escape it.
The ego wants the best for “me,” yet there is another, subtler force that wants the best for all (which ends up best for me, in the end). Allow this force to express itself, and you will discover that the walls of isolation are not as solid as your suffering makes them seem.
Compassion comes from the root words “to suffer with,” and for that reason many people actually fear it. Compassion is one of the most honored and saintly feelings because it marches up to the front lines of suffering and says, “Take me.” In this giving of oneself there is a direct experience of pain, yet in the giving there is love.
Thus compassion has the power to dissolve pain by not avoiding it, but by trusting that love affords the greatest protection. By discovering that there is a reality – love – stronger than any pain, you mount your strongest defense.
Adapted from The Deeper Wound: Recovering the Soul from Fear and Suffering, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2001).

UPRISING

The problem of hunger in the world is in itself a disgrace to us all, or at least for some of us. I have no illusions. The search for a more just society, is a place lost in the whirlwind of globalization, which in contrast to join us, have us away even more. Are frequent images food thrown away, just to maintain prices. And who does, is quite aware that what makes this crime against humanity even more filthy. No need to go Africa to see this problem of hunger in the world The search for a more just society, is a place lost in the whirlwind of globalization, rather than to join us is more. find the same problem on any continent. The consumerism has these things, along with the horrific images of hunger that could easily be alleviated if the people decide their own destiny in hand. Was not asking for a fairer society. Only calls which seem to reflect.

I think, I think we are all a little lost in this way and we do not know how to get out.

This is not the end of the road......

Hunger cover millions of people around the world and the vast majority is of human causes. The ineffectiveness and inattention of governments with the less favored, contributing to the misery, which in turn is caused by a the capitalism that unfairly accumulated wealth in the hands of few and lack in the hands of many

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter in the world

Namaste, Bunny

Bunny brought joy to all who knew her... from her first four decades at the zoo in Evansville, IN, to the many thousands who were introduced to her nearly ten years ago when she arrived at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee to begin her retirement. On that day, for the first time since infancy, Bunny met other Asian elephants and discovered she had the freedom to roam hundreds of acres. Bunny's first few days were underscored by constant, cheerful trumpeting, indicating she was more than pleased with her new home and friends! On May 14, 2009, at the age of 57, our "Outdoor Girl" Bunny peacefully passed away from natural causes due to old age. Namaste, Sweet Bunny.

Films Chicken a la Carte by Ferdinand Dimadura

This film is about the hunger and poverty brought about by Globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who live on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

Marinho Pinto saying what everyone thinks of Manuela Moura Guedes

Today, about 21 hours, there was an earthquake of great magnitude on the Richter scale with epicenter in TVI.

Politically incorrect?
Yes, totally.
But I liked and some thousands of Portuguese, I believe
There will be consequences?
I sincerely hope so. The systems of regulation of the media, will not continue to pretend that nothing is happening.


Always the politically incorrect.

Think about it and be happy!

Eight of the night on a busy avenue. A couple is already late for dinner at the house of some friends. The address is new, as the way she gave on the map before leaving. He drives the car. It guides and asked to turn in the next street on the left. He is sure that it is on right. They are discussing she let him to decide. He turns right and realize that was wrong. Albeit with difficulty, admits that insisted on the wrong track, . She smiles and says no problem in getting a few minutes later. But he still wants to know: - If you were so sure that I was taking the wrong path, you should persist a little more. And she says: "between being right and being happy I prefer to be happy. we were near to have a discusion if I had insisted more,and we would have spoiled the night. How much energy we spend just to show that we are right, .
Since I heard this story, I have asked more frequently: "I want to be happy or be right?"
Think about it and be happy!

Private Driver

I can not drive! I had to hire a private driver. I could choose this private driver, but mine is the best in the world. my good friend Nela who leads me to any side without "blinking"
My Private Driver prides itself in providing quality services.
When it comes to making the best choice to Hire private Driver, you know you need to look at a few things. You need to check if the driver is fully insured and has a valid driver's license. You also need to get reference from previous employees of the driver to ascertain the credentials. The good drivers are the ones who take passengers to the destination, without causing any incidence


Thanks!
You're the best friend that a person could have

Sprained ankle

I fell in the street and now I walk like this.
If you want to know details, ask me
I have several versions, all funny; because if I don't smile for the life she neither smiles for me
I took a few days off of my feet. I'm inactive all day, so I'm sure the ankle is being rested. Possible exercises I can do include swimming and resting on the couch.
Massages are also important. I find every day our friend Conceição in physiotherapy. I miss you all.

A sprained ankle happens when the ligaments have been damaged by the joint being twisted.
A sprained ankle, also known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury, is a common medical condition where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn. The anterior talofibular ligament is one of the most commonly involved ligaments. Sprains to the lateral aspect of the ankle account for 85% of ankle sprains

EARTH WATER ... THE WATER THAT WE MUST GET A DRINK-is a water distributed by "Sociedade Água de Luso"!!!!! :)

Earth Water was founded on the simple concept, ‘If you had the chance, would you change the world’.

The United Nations Refugee Agency is currently at work in over 110 countries, including some of the most dismal and poverty stricken places on earth. UNHCR provides the basic needs of survival to more than 32.9 million refugees and displaced people, who have fled from persecution and armed conflict, and are now living in desperate conditions. UNHCR possesses the infrastructure, personnel, and expertise to ensure that the money from the sale of Earth Water directly benefits those who need it the most.

Earth Water funds projects related to the acquisition, storage, and distribution of fresh clean water, focusing on both emergency provisions and developing sustainable water sources for people living in poverty. History has proven time and time again the importance of the work carried out by the UNHCR. We at Earth Water are proud to support their efforts.

Portugal began this week in a pioneering project of solidarity.
Water packed Earth Water is the only product in the world with the seal of the High Commissioner of the United Nations for Refugees (UNHCR), reversing its profit for the aid program of water that institution.

Nationally, the Earth Water is a project that has the support of Tetra Pak, the mainland of Central Beers and Spirits of MSTF Partners, GCI Group and the Foundation's Luis Figo.

With the selling price to the public (PVP) of 59 cents, a pack of Earth Water says that the label "offers 100% of their profits to the global aid program's water UNHCR, showing below the slogan" The water worth water.
Currently 6 thousand people die daily in the world for lack of drinking water.
With 4 cents, the UNHCR can provide water to a refugee for a day.
"Every day six thousand people die for lack of drinking water and 80% of these are children. Every 15 seconds a child dies of a disease related to water. With the creation of Earth Water wants to be a difference and improve these frightening statistics. In developing the concept of "You Never Drink Alone" is intended to create solution to the shortage of water worldwide. Help! DISCLOSED!

violets in the window

A very special friend told me to read the book "violets in the window" I'm in love with it (book) I advise you to read it too.
I learned to pray for our friends who left us, to talk with them without asking them anything because they can help us and they suffer whit it. I learned to smile and give them smiles and claims.
You just feel like you're in heaven, everything is expressed with such emotion that detail you get to imagine the world from up there, that nothing less does not change anything just continue to live in a different way ...
Everything is just love!


Even if you do not believe in a life beyond death, enjoy the book and be in peace

What A Wonderful World

The world is beautiful because we do so
Enjoy it and you'll be happy





I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies so blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

swine flu

MEXICO CITY — The swine flu epidemic entered a dangerous new phase Monday as the death toll climbed in Mexico and the number of suspected cases there and in the United States nearly doubled. The World Health Organization raised its alert level but stopped short of declaring a global emergency.

The suspected number of deaths rose to 149 in Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak with nearly 2,000 people believed to be infected.

The World Health Organization reported a slightly lower figure, 73. The WHO said it was still awaiting official reports from the U.K. about the Scottish cases, and it was reporting different numbers in the U.S. (40) and Mexico (26) from what those governments confirmed.

While the total cases were still measured in hundreds, not thousands, Mexican Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova said the epidemic was entering an extremely dangerous phase, with the number of people infected mushrooming even as authorities desperately ramped up defenses.

"We are in the most critical moment of the epidemic. The number of cases will keep rising, so we have to reinforce preventative measures," Cordova said at a news conference.

Why we should not wear clothes of trainings

I 'm very sad.

Today I went to the balance and I did not like what I saw.
When I'm nervous I just feel like eating. And lately I have been nervous.
The life is not easy.
When I was at work during these hours, the problems of work did forget the other problems.
Now I'm more free, and I only think about eating cakes and choclolates.
But I can and will lose weight.

Leave the clothes of training is the first choice I have to do, because they are large and I didn't see as I was getting fat.

Handel: 250 Years

It's 250 years since Handel's death

A star that never fades
George Frideric Handel died 250 years ago, but his music is as popular today as it was during his lifetime. Unlike many composers of classical music, he was a highly respected and internationally renowned composer during his lifetime – in other words, a star.

Dear Judite Lucas

It's with joy that I know you follow this blog.

You are a wonderful teacher, because you encouraged me to write this blog. At the time it was a job for eveyone, but the fault was mine. I quit the school. but it was the interest for the English you put in me, it means that I still write.

I have a great desire to know other countries and I need to speak and understand the language.

If I could I just went to your English classes. You are a person with a beautiful ray of sunshine.

Thanks for being my friend.

Good Easter.

Support the Global Eradication of Polio

There is no cure for polio. Yet this highly infectious and debilitating disease – which mainly affects young children and can cause lifelong paralysis – can be prevented with a vaccine that costs only $0.60. In the 1980s, polio paralyzed at least 1,000 children every day all over the world. But today, after international efforts to immunize every child everywhere, 5 million people are walking who would otherwise be paralyzed and the world is almost polio-free. Several regions of the world have been certified polio-free, yet polio remains endemic in Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan. And as long as a single child remains infected, children in all countries are at risk of contracting polio.
Polio was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th century. Please show your support for global eradication of polio, so no child will know the crippling effects of this disease ever again.

The Origins of Easter

The name Easter comes from Eastre, an ancient Anglo-Saxon goddess, originally of the dawn. In pagan times an annual spring festival was held in her honor. Some Easter customs have come from this and other pre-Christian spring festivals. Others come from the Passover feast of the Jews, observed in memory of their deliverance from Egypt. The resurrection of Jesus took place during the Passover. In the early days of Christianity Easter and the Passover were closely associated.
Prior to A.D. 325, Easter was celebrated on different days of the week, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In that year, the Council of Nicaea was convened by emperor Constantine. They issued the Easter Rule which places Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox (first day of Spring). Therefore, Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25.
Lent
Preceding Easter Sunday is the 40-day penitential season of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding at midnight on Holy Saturday. Lent is a season of prayer, abstinence, and fasting. This is observed in memory of the 40 days' fast of Christ in the desert. Lent is observed for six weeks and four days by the Western Christian churches that include Saturday and Sunday into the total. In Eastern Orthodox churches Lent is 50 days since they do not count Saturdays or Sundays.
Shrove Tuesday, the day before the beginning of Lent, was designed as a way to "get it all out" before the sacrifices of Lent began. Known the world over as Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) or Carnival. It is celebrated in many cities, the most famous American city being New Orleans, LA.
Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, gets its name from the practice, mainly in the Roman Catholic church, of putting ashes on the foreheads of the faithful to remind them that man is but dust.
Holy Week
Palm Sunday: This is held on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It recalls Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem one week before his execution.
Holy Monday: commemorates Jesus' cleansing of the temple, when he assaulted money changers and overturned their tables. Some believe that this triggered his arrest and crucifixion.
Holy Tuesday: recalls Jesus' description to his disciples on the Mount of Olives of the destruction of Jerusalem.
Holy Wednesday: (once called Spy Wednesday) recalls Judas' decision to betray Jesus in exchange for 30 pieces of silver.
Maundy Thursday: commemorates the Last Supper, Jesus' agony in the garden and his arrest.
Good Friday: recalls Jesus' death on the cross. The origin of the word "good" has been lost. Some claim that it is a corruption of "God" and that the early Christians called this day "God's Friday." Others claim that "good" refers to the blessings of humanity that Christians believe arose as a result of Jesus' execution.
Holy Saturday: (a.k.a. Easter Eve) is the final day of Holy Week and of Lent.
Easter Sunday: commemorates Jesus' resurrection. In the early church, converts were baptized into church membership on this day after a lengthy period of instruction. This tradition continues today in some churches.
Symbols
Many Easter symbols and customs come from the Old World.
The CrossThe Cross is the symbol of the Crucifixion, as opposed to the Resurrection. However, at the Council of Nicaea, in A.D. 325, Constantine decreed that the Cross was the official symbol of Christianity. The Cross is not only a symbol of Easter, but it is more widely used, especially by the Catholic Church, as a year-round symbol of their faith.
Easter LillyThe white lily symbolizes the Resurrection. Yet, lillies have long been revered by pagans of various lands as a holy symbol associated with reproduction. It was considered a phallic symbol!
The Easter BunnyThe Easter Bunny also originated with the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Eastre, was worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit.
The Germans brought the symbol of the Easter rabbit to America. It was widely ignored by other Christians until shortly after the Civil War. Easter itself was not widely celebrated in America until after that time.
The Easter EggThe exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians. The egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.
Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs -- plastic eggs filled with chocolate candy.
Happy Easter!

To my friend Peter, Laura and his daughter Tatiana

Marie Antoinette's Last Letter

October 16, 1793, 4.30 A.M.It is to you, my sister that I write for the last time. I have just been condemned, not to a shameful death, for such is only for criminals, but to go and rejoin your brother. Innocent like him, I hope to show the same firmness in my last moments. I am calm, as one is when one's conscience reproaches one with nothing. I feel profound sorrow in leaving my poor children: you know that I only lived for them and for you, my good and tender sister. You who out of love have sacrificed everything to be with us, in what a position do I leave you! I have learned from the proceedings at my trial that my daughter was separated from you. Alas! poor child; I do not venture to write to her; she would not receive my letter. I do not even know whether this will reach you. Do you receive my blessing for both of them. I hope that one day when they are older they may be able to rejoin you, and to enjoy to the full your tender care. Let them both think of the lesson which I have never ceased to impress upon them, that the principles and the exact performance of their duties are the chief foundation of life; and then mutual affection and confidence in one another will constitute its happiness. Let my daughter feel that at her age she ought always to aid her brother by the advice which her greater experience and her affection may inspire her to give him. And let my son in his turn render to his sister all the care and all the services which affection can inspire. Let them, in short, both feel that, in whatever positions they may be placed, they will never be truly happy but through their union. Let them follow our example. In our own misfortunes how much comfort has our affection for one another afforded us! And, in times of happiness, we have enjoyed that doubly from being able to share it with a friend; and where can one find friends more tender and more united than in one's own family? Let my son never forget the last words of his father, which I repeat emphatically; let him never seek to avenge our deaths. I have to speak to you of one thing which is very painful to my heart, I know how much pain the child must have caused you. Forgive him, my dear sister; think of his age, and how easy it is to make a child say whatever one wishes, especially when he does not understand it. It will come to pass one day, I hope, that he will better feel the value of your kindness and of your tender affection for both of them. It remains to confide to you my last thoughts. I should have wished to write them at the beginning of my trial; but, besides that they did not leave me any means of writing, events have passed so rapidly that I really have not had time. I die in the Catholic Apostolic and Roman religion, that of my fathers, that in which I was brought up, and which I have always professed. Having no spiritual consolation to look for, not even knowing whether there are still in this place any priests of that religion (and indeed the place where I am would expose them to too much danger if they were to enter it but once), I sincerely implore pardon of God for all the faults which I may have committed during my life. I trust that, in His goodness, He will mercifully accept my last prayers, as well as those which I have for a long time addressed to Him, to receive my soul into His mercy. I beg pardon of all whom I know, and especially of you, my sister, for all the vexations which, without intending it, I may have caused you. I pardon all my enemies the evils that they have done me. I bid farewell to my aunts and to all my brothers and sisters. I had friends. The idea of being forever separated from them and from all their troubles is one of the greatest sorrows that I suffer in dying. Let them at least know that to my latest moment I thought of them. Farewell, my good and tender sister. May this letter reach you. Think always of me; I embrace you with all my heart, as I do my poor dear children. My God, how heart-rending it is to leave them forever! Farewell! farewell! I must now occupy myself with my spiritual duties, as I am not free in my actions. Perhaps they will bring me a priest; but I here protest that I will not say a word to him, but that I will treat him as a total stranger.~ Marie Antoinette

That's What Friends Are For

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'

DID YOU KNOW?

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies and neighbors, or sending them on fools' errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.

Who is Nuno Alvares Pereira?

Who is this man that will be canonized on 26 April ?


Message by Fernando Pessoa

What halo encircles you?
It is the sword that, swirling,
Makes the lofty air lose
Its dark, soft blue.

But what sword is it that, raised aloft,
Makes that halo in the sky?
It is Excalibur, the anointed blade,
Which King Arthur bestowed upon you.

Hope accomplished,
St. Portugal in essence,
Raise your sword like a torch

I would like to know more about him!!!!!!!

I do not give up so easy

When I started this blog I had one intention: all the students in my class could and should write about the subject of the lesson or other opinions, or just single words.
But this does not happen. The teacher tried many times our participation. The teacher encouraged us, but this blog has not been very well accepted
She corrected my mistakes. Today, since I am not going to school the teacher did not amend my mistakes
So I ask everyone to go here to correct the mistakes and leave your opinion.
