One picture or more. From time to time (16) A winter invitation. Blogger's Sunday Walk.



I usually have one post edited per week. This time, it's all about a special happening and a participation to a meme, titled so lovely "Blogger´s New Year Walk"  and started by a blogger friend on "Vilt og vakkert" blog (Wild and Beautiful). Also, in invitation she mentioned: that the idea is "to join BSW 2017 with the hope that many accept the challenge and document what happens four Sundays a year."
Motto is: "Put on your walking shoes, skates, ski - whatever, bring with your camera or paper and pen and document what you see during the Winter walk and link to my blog!"

 A few weeks ago, I said that I'll join BSW. So, here, it is my walk!

 As forecasted, the first snow of the year came on january 6th. Because, I have no idea how much this winter scenery will last, I took the camera and on this occasion, I tried to capture some pretty images. 

But first, I put my boots and I went into the most near park to observe the nature at a cosy walk in order to admire the wintery scenes... 
Events?  Lots of snowflakes, mallard ducks, gulls and snow.... (*-*)
 Oh, and for sure, lots of playful children with their snow sleds down the hills. What about the weather? A cold, frosty weather, with freezing temperatures and some harsh winds spreading the snow (if I can describe like this), but, at least it is really worth it to explore the neighbourhood area, even in these wintry conditions.
 And let me say, that this kind of event, it is for certain, one of the events of which we can remember long, since for so many years, we did not had such white winters. 
Hoping that you've enjoyed my walk in my neighbourhood and on the park alleys! See you soon with a new post. Till then best regards!

Motto: 
"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.*"

Happiness starts with yourself.
Be joyful, amazing and never give up to smile! 
Stunning things are all over! 

Stay positive, today, tomorrow and always! 

Rămâi pozitiv, astăzi, mâine și întotdeauna!
So, very thankful, each and every day, to be inspired...
All is well...

2017. And a New Year's Resolution: Trust!

Motto: ..."şi mă las nins şi nu mi-e frig." 
From "Cu bulgări de zăpadă-n mâini", 
 by Nichita Stănescu 
January 1, 2017                       
From the first sunny moments of january!... 
                              And with the January's first snowflakes: 
                   Happy New Year!

Like in a previous post on my blog,  I'll wish for the New Year to be like in classic ovations (if I can say like this) 
for: something old, new, green, colorful, vivant and vibrant, lots of good cheer and good health! especially, joyful and full of hope ovations for good health!...
...Also, perhaps, still some Confidence and Positivity in these hard and difficult times for so many people worldwide...
But above all these, like in an old song, I'll wish you: Joy and Happiness!

And I'll add below, (from the net, of course), a funny recipe for a good year:

 "Reţeta pentru un an bun!  Se iau 12 luni şi se curăţă foarte bine de amărăciune, mândrie, ură, invidie, frică, irascibilitate şi stres. Se împarte fiecare lună în 28-31 zile, după caz, astfel ca proviziile să ajungă exact 1 an...! Fiecare zi se prepară separat: 1 parte muncă, 1 parte linişte, 1 parte umor. Se mai adaugă 3 linguri optimism, 1 linguriţă toleranţă, un praf de bun sim...ţ şi. o picătură de speranţă! Peste aluatul astfel obţinut se toarnă apoi dragoste din belşug. Preparatul gata făcut se aşează pe farfurie şi se împodobeşte cu frunzuliţe de curaj şi încredere în sine. Se serveşte zilnic, cu bucurie, alături de ceaşca de cafea din fiecare dimineaţă! Prezenta reţetă nu se compensează, ea este gratuită şi se transmite liber de la om la om, însoţită de urarea: Un An Nou darnic şi bun, Sănătate Deplină, Fericire Maximă şi Abundenţă Absolută!"

"The recipe for a good year! Take 12 months and cleaned them well of bitterness, pride, hatred, envy, fear, irritability and stress. Divide  each month in 28-31 days, as appropriate, so that the supplies to reach for exactly 1 year ...! Every day is prepared separately: 1 part work, 1 part quiet, one part humor. It adds: 3 tablespoons optimism, 1 teaspoon tolerance, a pinch of common sense ... And a drop of hope!
Over the dough thus obtained is then poured love abundantly. The preparation ready made sits on the plate and it is decorate with (leaflets), small leaves of courage and self-confidence. It is served daily, with joy and next to the cup of coffee every morning! This recipe it does not compensated, It is free and freely transmit from human to human, accompanied by the greeting: a New Year -generous and good, Full of Health, Maximum happiness and an Absolute Abundance!

About Trust* (emotion)
* click to read more info on Wikipedia
"In a social context, trust has several connotations. Definitions of trust typically refer to a situation characterized by the following aspects: One party (trustor) is willing to rely on the actions of another party (trustee); the situation is directed to the future. In addition, the trustor (voluntarily or forcedly) abandons control over the actions performed by the trustee. As a consequence, the trustor is uncertain about the outcome of the other's actions; they can only develop and evaluate expectations. The uncertainty involves the risk of failure or harm to the trustor if the trustee will not behave as desired."
"Trust can be attributed to relationships between people. It can be demonstrated that humans have a natural disposition to trust and to judge trustworthiness that can be traced to the neurobiological structure and activity of a human brain. Some studies indicate that trust can be altered e.g. by the application of oxytocin." 
(...)
In the social sciences, the subtleties of trust are a subject of ongoing research. In sociology and psychology the degree to which one party trusts another is a measure of belief in the honesty, fairness, or benevolence of another party. The term "confidence" is more appropriate for a belief in the competence of the other party. Based on the most recent research[citation needed], a failure in trust may be forgiven more easily if it is interpreted as a failure of competence rather than a lack of benevolence or honesty. In economics, trust is often conceptualized as reliability in transactions. In all cases trust is a heuristic decision rule, allowing the human to deal with complexities that would require unrealistic effort in rational reasoning."
"Sociology
When it comes to trust, sociology is concerned with the position and role of trust in social systems. Interest in trust has grown significantly since the early eighties, from the early works of Luhmann, Barber  and Giddens for a more detailed overview). This growth of interest in trust has been stimulated by on-going changes in society, characterised as late modernity and post-modernity.
Trust is one of several social constructs, an element of the social reality. It does not exist outside of our vision of the other. This image can be real or imaginary, but it is this one which permits the creation of the Trust. Other constructs, frequently discussed together with trust, are: control, confidence, risk, meaning and power."
...
Psychology
In psychology, trust is believing that the person who is trusted will do what is expected. It starts at the family and grows to others. According to the psychoanalyst Erik Erikson development of basic trust is the first state psychosocial development occurring, or failing, during the first two years of life. Success results in feelings of security, trust, and optimism, while failure leads towards an orientation of insecurity and mistrust possibly resulting in attachment disorders.
A person's dispositional tendency to trust others can be considered a personality trait and as such is one of the strongest predictors of subjective well-being. It has been argued that trust increases subjective well-being because it enhances the quality of one's interpersonal relationships, and happy people are skilled at fostering good relationships."
...
Philosophy
Some philosophers argue that trust is more than a relationship of reliance. Philosophers such as Annette Baier have made a difference between trust and reliance by saying that trust can be betrayed, whilst reliance can only be disappointed (Baier 1986, 235). Carolyn McLeod explains Baier's argument by giving the following examples: we can rely on our clock to give the time, but we do not feel betrayed when it breaks, thus, we cannot say that we trusted it; we are not trusting when we are suspicious of the other person, because this is in fact an expression of distrust (McLeod 2006). Thus, trust is different from reliance in the sense that a truster accepts the risk of being betrayed.
The definition of trust as a belief in something or a confident expectation about something leads to eliminate the notion of risk from the definition, because it does not include whether the expectation or belief is favorable or unfavorable. For example, to have an expectation of a friend arriving to dinner late because she has habitually arrived late for the last fifteen years, is a confident expectation (whether or not we agree with her annoying late arrivals.) The trust is not about what we wish for, rather it is in the consistency of the data of our habits. As a result, there is no risk or betrayal because the data now exists as collective knowledge."
