T stands for Friendship

Hello My Friends!

It's been awhile since I took part in Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday.I hope life has been treating you well. Tomorrow December starts and in a couple of weeks I will be on holidays.

We only have two weeks holiday in July.2016 promises to be an unusual year for us. We expect many tourists but right now our minds are on an environmental disaster here that has destroyed one of our most important rivers.

I would like to share a video from Rio de Janeiro: my home.

“there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled

a space

and even during the
best moments
and

we will know it

we will know it

will never be filled
and

we will wait
and
wait

in that space.”
