Autumn magic / Jesenska čarolija
Autumn magic always appears when you least expect it but sometimes there is joy in being caught off guard. A pleasent suprise is always welcome. So, why not pleasently suprise yourself ? Last minute picnic and perfect weather. An hour of blissful peace. It is Autumn. We do our best to adjust to it. Nature seems to take this change of season gracefully, so we try our best to mimic its strategies. We layer out outfits trying to keep up with the weather changes...and often we have a lot of fun in the process. Autumn is a good time to remember that change can be a good thing...and that trying to control everything kills the joy in living. Make the most of every moment because you might not get that second change. Life is not always fair, nor does hard work pays off in the way people assume they do. People get easily discouraged if they don't experienece success in the traditional (i.e. material) sense of the word. Hard work has its benefits. Doing the right thing gives us a feeling of inner peace but it does not mean success is behind the courner. Every investment, be it emotional, spiritual or material is a risk of some sorts. Life is a gamble, so when you get the change to have a moment of peace, cease it. One moment of autumn magic can be the rest from all that hard work that you need and deserve.....Magic is not something that can be bought or earned, it is something that happens on its own. Do not forget it.
Jesenska čarolija se uvijek pojavljuje kada je najmanje očekuješ, ali nekad ima radosti u tome da nas nešto zatakne nespremne. Ugodno iznenađenje je uvijek dobrodošlo pa zašto ne bi ugodno iznenadili sebe? Piknik u zadnji tren i savršeno vrijeme. Sat blaženog mira. Jesen je stigla. Trudimo joj se prilagoditi. Priroda graciozno doživljava promjenu sezone, pa se i mi trudimo oponašati njezine strategije. Odijevamo se slojevito u nastojanju da pratimo vremenske promjene, ali često se u svemu tome i zabavljamo. Jesen je dobro vrijeme da se prisjetimo da promjena može biti i dobra stvar...i da pokušavanje kontroliranja stvari ubija užitak u življenju. Život nije uvijek pošten, a i naporan rad se ne isplati uvijek na onaj način na koji ljudi misle. Ljudi se lako obeshrabre ako ne dožive uspjeh u tradicionalnom (tj. materijalnom) smislu. Težak rad ima svoje prednosti. Osjećaj da smo napravili nešto ispravno daje nam osjećaj unutrašnjeg mira. No, svako ulaganje bilo ono emotivne, duhovne ili materijalne prirode je rizik. Život je kocka, tako da kada dobijete priliku za trenutak mira, iskoristite je. Trenutak jesenske čarolije može biti odmor od teškog rada koji vam treba i koji zaslužujete...Čarolija nije nešto što se može kupiti i zaraditi, događa se samo od sebe. Nemojte to
zaboraviti.

Have an amazing new week!

ReplyDeletethanks Linda.
DeleteWhat vicarious pleasure I can get from looking at these magic moments of late autumn sun. We were lucky last weekend when I spent the first day of November with bare legs in blazing sunshine. Now, however, it is grey with sideways rain and drizzle, so these images are ones to feast on.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the virtual sunshine here:)
DeleteNice outfits Ivana !!
ReplyDeletewonderful pics.

thank you Ivan.
DeleteThese are great-looking outfits, and you show great style with both of them. I'm not sure whether I like the cardigan outfit or the poncho outfit more.
ReplyDeletejohnbmarine.blogspot.com
thank you dear:) I'm not sure which one I prefer either.
DeleteI love your outlook on Autumn. Indeed it is a season of change and what fun it can be if we just go with and embrace whatever comes. How nice that you got to enjoy some of the magic and a lovely picnic at the same time. We're still having an unseasonably warm autumn in NYC and I'm getting out and enjoying those almost summerlike temperatures whenever they're around. I'm really hoping this means we might have a mild winter :)
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
I hope so too:) mild winter would be nice.
DeleteI think every year now, i fall more and more in love with fall. It is such a beautiful season...minus the weather :). So yes, i agree with you and it sure is a time for change and change is not always a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteYou look so happy and warm. You have a gift for layering so well. Beautiful post.

I totally agree...it is a beautiful season:)
DeleteLet's see, I deserve a pony, a billion dollars, an Astin Martin painted like an X-Wing, a lifetime supply of Tab soda, athletic ability and more hair. Oh, wait! I need to re-read that, I think I did it wrong :) Nice head-to-toe fashion, certainly protected from the potentially damaging rays of the sun or prying eyes. That shawl is totally gorgeous. It really jumped out at me, very nifty addition. No essay tonight, got home too late. But writing in my head. Happy Monday my lovely friend.

writing in my head is what I do very often....it will get to paper eventually I'm sure.

DeleteWhat a beautiful location and amazing set of photos. It makes me want to go somewhere like that.
ReplyDeleteMeni u zadnje vrijeme baš fali tog mira i nekakve prirodne spontanosti, svaki trenutak u danu mi je pomno isplaniran i trenutačno se pomalo osjećam kao u kavezu, pogotovo jer je vani predivno vrijeme, a ja se ne mičem od stola i monitora. Ali drago mi je vidjeti da si se nauživala u prirodi, uvijek volim vidjeti onu tvoju plisiranu suknju, odlično ti stoji! :)
ReplyDeletehvala ti...i ja volim ovu plisiranu suknju:)
Deletea malo spontanosti uvijek dobro dođe.
DeleteI love all of your outfits! Especially your pretty shawl :) I wish we had some sunshine to go with the colder weather instead of it always raining :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love this shawl too:)

Jako lepo rečeno, posebno poslednje dve rečenice. I sama primećujem tu jesenju čaroliju koja se pojavla upravo onda kada sam prestala da se protivim jeseni i da raniji pogled na sumornu prirodu koja umire gledam kao na pauzu koja nam je svima potreba s vremena na vreme. Uostalom, bilo bi dosadno da je stalno isto. Iako volim leto, verovatno bi mi se smučilo da je stalno toplo.
ReplyDeleteŠto volim takve neplanirane dane. Vidim da ste uživali :) Mnogo su lepe fotografije, divan sučnan dan i prelepo mesto. Tvoja kombinacija je udobna, ženstvena i inspirativna, posebno mi se sviđa suknja :)
hvala Tijanice:)

DeletePazi danas... odlucila ja uzivati u jesenskoj idili i kada smo slikali post, reko budem bacala onako lisce oko sebe i krenula i... pospricala se s psecom pisalinom :D Hahaha... od cijele livade lisca, ja nasla popisano lisce :) I bijela dolcevita vise nije bila bijela...
ReplyDeleteSreca prva: vec smo imali nesto fotkica
Sreca druga: bolje pisaka nego ono drugo
To su te spontane zivotne radosti :)
Izgledas mi krasno a s tekstom se ne mogu sloziti vise. Divno napisano! :)

Your're right, Ivana, we often (and so easily!) forget about the magic and if it comes to the success we feel like we reach this only when we see some material benefits, which is also sad situation. I'm so happy that you could feel this magical and beautiful sunny Autumn in your country on this picnic, you had to have fun :) Btw, you look really pretty on each photo, my dear!

DeleteThis is such a beautifully written post, Ivana and we do tend to forget and take things for granted. The weather here has been temperamental, the sun if finally out today after non stop rain for almost a week.

Don't know why but you look different here. Did you cut your hair or something? I'm in Vienna now so will try to pop by whenever I get time 😜
ReplyDeletemy hair looks lighter in the sun, that must be it..I haven't cut it in a long time:)
DeleteDon't you look like a ray of sunshine. As always, you and your hubby look great together :D.

ReplyDeleteJednostavno obožavam tvoje tekstove, tako iskrene, iz srca i duše i uvijek tako tople.. Uživala sam, i najradije bih te nagovorila da uz svoje ilustracije sjedneš i napišeš i knjigu. Ja bih sigurno bila prva u redu za autogram :)
ReplyDeletehvala ti puno...pišem ja puno, a nadam se da će se jednog dana to i u knjigu pretvoriti.
DeleteWonderful words Ivana and your photos are very pretty. I love this place :)

DeleteGreat place for relax, I'm happy for you, is good to enjoy a weather like this. I didn't get out since last month.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the skirt and the scarf are so beautiful together!
