Yes doors, that’s how we celebrate around here! One door opens while another one closes. And so it goes!
But now this is a full fledged blogoversary! I swear!!
And running around in Manhattan is also a lot of fun. There is never a dull moment!
Yes I am very happy living in New York. I must admit that things are a bit tough for the kids because there is an adjustment period. One that I am unfortunately, oblivious to since I grew up here.
I have to admit something to you that I was not at all expecting to admit. You see, while I was putting this photo essay together I found myself feeling nostalgic.
If only we could scrub away the bad and keep the beauty.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that…
I guess I’m not as tough as I had thought, after all!
The blue sky never leaves you once you have witnessed it.
You see, for me there is beauty in every nook and cranny. Is this a blessing or a curse?
I was going to talk about how much I love the blogging community and how we all support each other and how truly blessed I am to be a part of it.
But those images took over my mind and my heart and so I ended up writing another kind of post. I hope you’ll forgive me for rambling on like this.
I guess sometimes you just have to let the images take you where they may.
And maybe those doors will stay open after all.

Mary, what a beautiful post. It must be difficult leaving the place you called home for so many years and all the wonderful memories you made there and that oh so amazing blue sky. I love all the doors, so gorgeous! Happy Blog Anniversary!

Greece is a beautiful country and I appreciate your lovely pictures that take me there. But you did the best thing for the family. New doors will open for you. Happy Blogoversary! I look forward to many more posts. Each month that passes I am amazed I have been blogging that long and I am living the dream. I have a feeling you may feel that way also.

Debra you are so right, We did the best thing moving here. I was just taken by surprise by my reaction. I guess you have to leave someplace in order to appreciate it more. And yes this is quite a journey we are on. So much work and so many twists and turns. And I am glad to be on this journey alongside you.

I know what you mean about it being a blessings or a curse. The jury is still out on that, but one thing for sure is YOU'RE a blessing to the blogging community. Congratulations on your anniversary. I'm sure the last three years have been quite an adventure and one that you hadn't expected, but that's life, isn't it? The doors are drop dead gorgeous! Even the one with graffiti (though I want to punch the person who did that)! xxx

Doreen when I was walking around snapping I tried to zero in on the doors and ignore the surroundings. But when editing the photos it became obvious there was more than lots of graffiti. So we just have to search a little harder to find the beauty. Thank you for joining me on this journey for almost three years now. You have been a true friend!

Oh Mary, I'm so glad you found your beautiful door photos. What a treat for my eyes. I can so understand why you left Greece. Things have been a little rough here in South Africa too, but our silly President that raped and plundered our country into the ground for the last 8 years was forced to resign last night and we are all exstatic. Maybe the same will happen in Greece one day soon. So many despots and corrupt leaders in Africa are falling at the moment and perhaps that's a sign that we're all getting tired of falseness and empty promises. Happy, happy blogaversary my friend. May there be many, many, many more

Michelle I am so happy to hear that there are changes coming in your country. If only we could do the same but I fear we are in so deep that it doesn't matter who is in charge because they are not in charge at all. We have become a colony.

Oh Mary! Those doors!! They have captured my heart. I am a door and light fixture fanatic. My favorite is the second one with the blue and green. But I love them all. Great photos. :) gwingal

Thanks Nikki, you never know what you will see in Greece. It is full of the unexpected.
