Improve your Memory Power

Whitby Abbey 2024

Family Day Out. This always great memories. How planned we visited Robin Hood Bay first.
Had some lunch on beach side and boys spending time to fight a rocks.

After Robin Hood Bay we visited Whitby Abbey. Was pretty good sunny day, and also not so many people around. So we enjoyed quiet and beautiful view.

Don’t Rush Trough Life

“Rushing into action, you fail. Trying to grasp things, you lose them. Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe.”
– Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. 

One thing is certain in these modern times of ours: rushing. We rush to do everything from getting information to eating.

There is a difference between moving fast and rushing. You can move fast and be thoughtful. When you rush, you sacrifice thoughtfulness. 

There is always irritating little voice in your head which tries to convince you that you must hurry because otherwise you will not get enough done.

The TRUTH is there is never enough time, and you cannot get everything done anyway. But thinking all the time about the next task is stressful and doesn’t let you focus on what is important.
How to stop rushing?

• Do fewer tasks but do them properly. Focus on quality, rather than quantity.

• Pay attention to when the thing you’re chasing exceeds its usefulness.
• Try to start the morning with the important tasks. Let the end of the day be reserved for less important projects or routine tasks.
• Learn the art of being (rushing is a lack of willingness to be in the present moment). Spend some time observing your thoughts, listening to the music, taking a walk, etc.
  
  If you change your rushed mindset, you will be surprised to see how much you can get done by being focused on fewer things and save time for your hobby, family, and friends.
  
  Take some time to think: What do you need to de-prioritize? 
  
  What can you drop doing? 
  
  Remember: Life is great when savored, Work is great when focused!
  When you stop rushing, you enjoy life more. You worry less. You care for others more. You make fewer mistakes because you’re more focused. Rushing allows you to live on the surface rather than going deep

Istanbul. Must visit places.

I’m not typical traveler, I’m not really fancy to stay a long queue and spend a lot of money to see some another architectural and historical places from inside.

I’m more love to see and feeling the full life around me in deferent country. You can not feel this from attending historical museums and old mosque. But spend all day on streets, pretend to live the life’s which people live in this big city.

So here we go, some very famous places still need to visit, but this is will be on you way to explore the world of Istanbul.

Galata Tower

A medieval stone tower that is nine storeys tall and you can see all the major tourist attractions from here. Built as a watchtower, it is now an exhibition space and museum. There is a restaurant at the top level of Galata Tower, while a bit pricey but the place offers delicious Turkish cuisine and exclusive coffee. After enjoying the scintillating views from the narrow, circular viewing platform, relaxed for a bit.

Istiklal Street

My friends named it the Oxford Street of Istanbul. Istiklal Street, which means “Independence Avenue”, is lined with 19th-century palaces, mansions and embassies which are now home to high street brands. This is a shopper’s paradise for high-street brands. Istanbul offers luxury products at relatively cheaper prices. This may be because of its unique geographic location on the world-famous Silk Road connecting Europe with Asia.

Seven Hills Restaurant Istanbul – Best Rooftop in Sultanahmet

If you’re looking for a restaurant with magical views in Sultanahmet then look no further than Seven Hills Restaurant in Istanbul.
They have a panoramic terrace that overlooks Sultanahmet Square with unrestricted views over the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. 
It’s the perfect place for photos and they even have a dedicated area where you can capture your visit!
The reason why most people want to visit Seven Hills Restaurant is due to their beautiful terrace that has magical views of Sultanahmet. 
Also, you can see boats sailing down the mighty Bosphorus Strait with views over towards the Galata Tower!

Alice..

Today Arturs said that when he will grow up and have his own family and kids, he will have the same type of dog and will call her Alice.

Only one thing which I regret about – that we do not get Alice much early. When boys just a born.

The main reason for choosing dog, was that Alex was really afraid of them. And I remember this first funny days, when Alex was walk around the room only on sofa, and scary to get on the floor.

But couple days later – they become a best friends.

Boys love Alice, and they really will miss her when she will pass away. I’m don’t want this day come. Really will be very sad. We love this nougaty girl.

This year Alice will turn 10 years old. And she still acting like a teenager sometimes.

Only little bit calm and lazy. But again, probably because of surgery, which was in December 2022.
She tart eat much more, and we really need control her food, because she can eat non stop if we will let her.

Istanbul 2024 #Day 3

Istanbul has thousands of mosques, hundreds of active churches and even twenty-odd active synagogues. It boasts a strong affiliation with Islam along with an understanding and tolerance of the western European culture. And that’s what makes it popular among tourists.

The mix of tourism places with real life streets just next corner make this city really special.

Balat is a neighborhood in Istanbul that straight out of a fairytale.

Our last supper in Istanbul and had a memorable time. When you’re travelling, every moment is cherishable. There is tremendous openness to everything, including human connections. There’s an understanding that the moments and experiences that make them are ever-fleeting.

The freedom and confidence you experience while travelling becomes addictive. And after a while, it spills onto every aspect of life. Once you are home, the eagerness for new experiences and the ability to laugh at misadventure becomes second nature. Istanbul gave me memories of a lifetime. The vibrant colours, the local warmth, the traditional food taste is forever etched in my memory and this only makes me look forward to my next adventure!
