“An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.” – Maria Callas
The beautiful season of swimming in the outdoor pool of Gelller spa is over for this year. The sparkling mornings, the gorgeous skies while I do backstroke, this pool of blue waves, the cupids of the fountains, the beautiful morning lights that embrace the old chestnut trees of the spa all have to slumber now until next spring. Nevertheless, we still get to enjoy the lovely indoors, the thermal pools and massage. I am so fortunate❤️
“I speak of love awake, I speak of love in my dreams, To the water, the shadows, the mountains, To the flowers, the grass, the fountains.” – Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro

Memories of childhood when the pantry at my grandparents’ house was filled with jars of beautiful apricot jar, peach and raspberry. When my grandma would be – from the early morning – baking amazing cakes and the fragrance of different jams would fill the house. I loved those weekends. I hope she is smiling now as the pantry is being filled up with apricot and blueberry, plum and tangerine jam.

“This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.” – Martin Luther
“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” – Emily Dickinson
