Hello my dear Readers.

| A love salad from Katerina from Secret Cafe! |
Hope all of you are well and everything is going good in
your life. As you are reading this, I'm having a small vacation in Athens.
Decided to fly there for 3 days, to see my family before the summer season
begins.
This past week was a great week for me. I've been
spending my days at the Santo Horse Riding's ranch in Akrotiri, interacting
with the horses, sitting in the sun, reading my book, and contemplating on
life. The horse that I'm currently training is having some great progress,
which makes me incredibly happy, and I've had the opportunity to make some
really interesting thoughts about life.
I've been thinking mostly about those small incidents in
life, that can greatly influence ones future. Isn't it amazing, how meeting one
person in your life, a person that you might not even see more than a couple
times more after your first meeting, can change your whole life?
I've been thinking about my own life. I met a person
seven years ago, let's call him mr. D., that made me come back to Greece (I lived
in Moscow at the time of the meeting). By coincidence, that person had a friend
who knew my childhood horse riding trainer. I started going horse riding again,
after I met up with the trainer, which resulted in me getting my first horse
riding students.
Because of Mr. D., I followed my then dream and studied
sound-engineering, where I met ex-husband. Because of him I came to Santorini,
as he didn't have a job at the time, and I was willing to let my horse related
dreams on the side, just to be with him. In Santorini, again by coincidence, I
got a wedding planning job. A couple years later here I am, trying to make my
own wedding and event planning company.
Furthermore, my ex husband worked for a short period at a
hotel, who's owner had a horse, and had it at the first horse riding facility
in Santorini. From there I met my current colleague in Santo Horse Riding, who
later introduced me to the person I'm working for at the moment, and the guy I'm
happily dating at the moment.
All those completely unrelated meetings and events, ended
up in me having a great progress with my life dreams and goals! If you just
think for a moment, that if seven years ago, I decided to ignore mr.D when I first
met him, I wouldn't be having my own wedding planning company, nor I would go
back to horse riding and now have the job of my dreams.
No wonder there is a saying that everything happens for a
reason.
Why am I writing all this, you may ask? Simply because I want
to prove a point. No matter how hard times may seen, or if you feel that you
are at a "dead end" point in your life, you should always remember,
that this is not the end of the road, and that whatever you gain at that
particular period of your life, can influence your future for the very best.
Life gives you opportunities all the time, sometimes they
just lay there for everyone to see, sometimes they hide behind really stressful
and unpleasant situations. Still, they are there for you. A simple decision,
like going for a walk instead of staying at home, can end up in you meeting the
right person or getting the best idea for a better future! Don't miss out on
opportunities, just because you think (although you might feel the opposite),
that they will be a waste of time. They might end up being the breakthrough in
your life!
No matter how bad a situation ion life may be, you should
always take it as a lesson. However bad it might seem, it will be part of your
life experience and can prove to be of great help in the future. Try to stay
positive and keep an open eye for any life lessons there for you. Life lessons,
that will help you succeed in the future.
This is all I have to say this Random Saturday. Be happy
and don't miss the little opportunities life gives us!
Thank you very much for reading! I wish you a wonderful
weekend!
The song of the week:
