Farewell

Dear friends,

As time passes it is getting harder and harder for me to keep the English part of my blog. I will therefore have to stop it here. Thank you very much for reading it and commenting. Special thanks to Meow, ersi and James for their insightful inputs. It was my honour to receive them.

I wish everyone all the best,
C.

Thank you :)

Thank you Christina, I have learned much from your blogs as well as the comments. Hope will by chance to read more of your writing.

You dont write in English doesnt mean you will leave, right?

Take care and thanks for sharing :)

Christina Linardaki said...

Thank you both.

I have to leave, dear Meow, unfortunately. Thank you very much for the company.

Take care. :)

Meow said...

Fortunately I have met you and become friends before you left. :)

Take care!!

It's a shame to see you go, your blog is always thoughtful and mind provoking. In retrospect it has been facinating to read and/or comment on all of your posts. Good luck from a true fan.-JAMES

Thank you, James. You have inspired me many times, you know. Even though we don't always agree, we seem to have a likeness of mind that has touched me. Good luck to you too and who knows? Maybe we'll have the chance to talk again in the future.

My sincerest wishes,
Christina

Time flies...more than one month from my last comment, again, hi!

Just read again your post "Is there such a thing as soul?" and the blog coments...

Interesting! Not only the blog content and the comments I mean, this time, I find the interesting in how the words reflect the character/personality of a person..(I am not sure you know what I mean, my poor english :( ), I will keep reading again the other blogs and comments....

Have a nice weekend!! Take care always!!

Thanks again, dearest Elsa, I'm really flattered.

Words have power in that when used accurately they paint clear pictures. If not, pictures are blurred, meanings are obscured and the result is confusion. But this confusion is nothing but the reflection of an inner condition. Thus, it is the mark of a person with clarity of mind to use words in an accurate way and to be sure of the meaning s/he is conveying. To do this, one must have given things deep thought.

How one puts the words together, ie how s/he expresses oneself, is also important. One can use the imperative, or they can be more accommodative, leave room for their interlocutors or be flat and square. All these may point to traits of character, but emotions also play an important role here...

By the way, I was thinking that perhaps I'll be able to join you again after the turn of the year. :)

Hi Christina...wow...so nice, I like what you said here regarding words and how one expressed what s/he said. I am not good in English, therefore I can only use simple english words...but I believe some friends of mine (after sometimes through true and sincere communication), even using some simple english, they will know what kind of a person I am, the words as well as the attitude can show what kind of a person is, I think so.

SO GLAD you will be back and share more of your thoughts, or even you have no time to write, just come more often online...YES..I hope to see you soon!!

Take care...dont just busy on yr translation work ..be well!!

I understood that it was you Meow, don't worry. It's just that I don't feel I always have to tell the last word in a conversation. I hope I didn't seem impolite. If I did, my sincere apologies!

Ohhh noooo noooo nooooo....I just afraid you will think that I am impolite without leaving a name here, haha...that's why......

Have a nice week ahead!

p.s. Dont worry...I am always the impolite one ...:)
