REASONS TO CELEBRATE<div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>My friends,</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>I know it's been ages from the last time i made comments or posting something about me and my life.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>But, believe me, i had many good reasons.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>I wasn't feeling very well.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>My mother and my brother-in-law had surgeries.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Thank God, they are OK now.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>In May i had a serious problem with the hard disc of my computer and i lost all my photos and videos from 2003 till now.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>For those who know me, that was a stab in my heart.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Photography is my passion, my obsession.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>For a long time i didn't want to see a PC, not to open it.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>And the hardest thing for me was when i said my sister goodbye. </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>She moved with her family to Brussels.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>I miss her sooooooo much.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>But today i have two good reasons to celebrate.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>First is my name celebration.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>In Orthodox church today is the celebration of 40 women who sacrificed themselves for their faith in God.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Some of these names are: Antigoni, Afrodite, Margarita, Athina, Polytimi, etc.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>The other reason is my blogging birthdays.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Two years ago, my sister brought me in the blogging world and i thank her for that.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>I met very interesting and warm people and I made many good and dear friends.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>And because of my internet experience and my webcamera i can speak and see my sister from my PC.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Thank you all for these two wonderful years. </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>I really enjoyed the world tour.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong></strong></span> </div><div align="center">
