Hot Thermal Spring

In winter holiday Hubby's school's study group went to Sicak Cermik Thermal spring -31 kilometres far from the city center-for a week. I went with the kids two days later. We stayed at the same suit room as we did last year. This time English study group was studying in our room. So we spent whole day with the students doing exercises. It was nice . I took cure baths twice a day for a few days. Normally 21 days of bath is good they say . Cause we had limited time I started to have double a day . The water degree is about 45 - 50 degrees.
The water consists sodium, sulfat,hydrocarbon, magnesium and carbonat, and it is good for rheumatism,digestion system,kydneys and uriner system, and a few more problems. Three days later after the bath joint and muscle aches start and the cure starts after that at each bath.
And I learned that double bath has no use.
In the middle of the silence of the winter far from the city center staying in a hot hotel was the best part of this holiday for everyone. One additional good thing for me was no cooking , no housework . There is a thermal hospital unit of the university hospital. Nowadays my backaches are so bad whenever I go to the doctor sure I will be given 21 days of cure there. But the idea of staying at a hospital alone sounds really scary to me.

A day of Mevlana trip

At last I went to visit Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi in Konya. Infact my desire was to visit there on the week of Seb-i aruz , but the tour was postponed to the following week so we couldn't see the whirling semazens.
Insallaah next time. Cause the days are very short in December we just visited the Mevlana museum and Alaaddin Mosque from Seljuk times. The mosque is 900 years old and has 60 coloumns and can take 5 thousand ppl at one time.
A mubarek person says whoever visits Mevlana gets his or her spritual share. While I was walking in the museum I realized that sufism was not so easy.
And one more decision next time I won't go there by a package tour.Sitting and listening to the ney among those mubarek people without being disturbed must be a nice experience.

The Book of Strangers

It was a nice winter day. The sun was shining through the windows and she was enjoying that warm silence while reading . The book was very interesting so she preferred staying in the class at lunch break. One of the boys from her class came in and said hello. She replied and went on reading . He was wearing jeans and a warm shirt. He stood towards her and introduced himself. She was wearing a black skirt and a green sweater and a pearl necklace . She answered his questions about her info and then the boy asked if he could check the book.
A few minutes later ''This is very interesting and you are the first girl I have ever seen reading such books '' he told. They went on speaking about it for a short time before the lesson started.
The book's name was The Book of Strangers from Ian Dallas.

away enough

Well some differences in our lives and new situations bring their own inner fights, panic and beauties etc. etc. All we face with hard problems from time to time . Unless we find the answers the problem gets bigger and bigger each day even each moment. We can see the solutions but not clearly . Normally, we humanbeings have a hidden ability such as finding the solutions on our own but sometimes we need a hand or just a wise word to make sure our own answer.
''The view of the garbage doesn't make the mirror dirty. ''
Of course everybody says wise words but everybody doesnt give the same effect. So finding the right person to share is one of the main solutions .
The next step is leaving the problem to decay in its corner and taking the mirror away till the garbage doesn't seem.
The third step is not to forget to help enough to anyone who has likewise problems.

the latest tip (winks )

Well, Is it Salary day and do you have to go to ATM and deliever nearly whole of your salary ?
Wear your favourite and most comfortable clothes. Jeans, sweater, trainers, a cap and a long coat and an ipod full of your favourite songs. Start listening in the elevator . Walk on the way without looking people on the street. Cause some of them can make you uncomfortable with their weird gazes. You can see someone familiar and have to corrupt your own joy for a hello and how are you . You should see less people so timing is important . You shouldnt go out at the rush time . And delivering time should be short or you can lose your teenager mood. When you are back home leave your mood at the gate and come into your house as an adult full of responsibilities.

summary

Eveluation has its own ups and down . I'm calling this situation that way cause it has hope.
Those poems in which pains have always sounded very exaggerated to me , have started to seem real.

Chain of surprises

This weekend when I went to brother's shop they told me a short while ago a friend of mine came and left a package for me from Spain. I tried hard my mind but couldnt find who it was. When I checked out the presents and saw a bottle of original wine and a pair castanets from Sevilla I found out who she was. One of the teacher friends with whom I worked at the same school for two years . When I last visited her she told me that she would join to a 3 weeks of Spain trip for their school project.
As soon as I came home I phoned and thanked her happily. Thats very kind of her thinking of me . She moved from this city last month but at the end of the trip she directly travelled here to see everybody for the last time. So I didnt remind her that we dont drink any alcoholic drink . Even I kept the bottle for one day for the possibility of a short visit of her one more day .
On Saturday night Elif dropped and we talked about this winter's fashion and off season sales.I told her about a jacket I saw in LC Waikiki.
On Sunday just as I was working in the kitchen the door was knocked and son opened and the door was closed again. Son came into the kitchen with a present packet. And a phone from Elif , '' Is that that jacket?''
These two surprises and a nice ifthar with some colleques of hubby made my weekend.
