Oh, how beautifully said, it warmed my heart (which will go to the doctor tomorrow)!
I'm not a good English speaker and I'm always afraid of using some word or expression in the wrong way or with another meaning, that's why I'm so happy with your statements. It means I am not wrong too much. Thank you for reading my posts, now I am forced to be even more careful about what I write.
Yes, yes, yes... islands come after spring!

I hope everything will be fine tomorrow at the doctor!
As for your English, I know exactly what you mean! It is what we often say with @fotostef. Who knows what we have said and what others understand! It happens in our language, too, so imagine in English!!! Communication is not always easy! Once I wanted to tell you sth and I asked Stefanos if he knows how it is said in English. He asked me whom I wanted to send the message to and when I said @bluemoon he said that you will understand it anyway! And he was right! I bet an English speaker would be like, what??? Quite interesting, isn't it?
Ah, how nice it is to be together in this English language issue and I'm glad we get along so well!
Stefanos was right, we understand beyond the language, we understand the meaning of the discussion. If I don't understand, I always ask.
Thanks for the encouragement. I don't like the hospital at all, nor have I ever been before (In fact, I was decades ago, when I met some Greek students who were studying in Romania and doing their internship in the hospital. It was 50 years ago)
I really hope everything will be ok tomorrow! Hospitals are awful, but once every 50 years is manageable :)
(A few decades ago many Greeks were studying Medicine in Romania. I guess they still do, but I am not sure.)
Ha, ha... "once every 50 years is manageable!" You're right, I was beginning to think this was going to be my whole life. Four years ago, my mother who was 85 told me that she thought she would live to be 100, and she died a year later. In the last months of her life, I realized she was no longer thinking straight, so to speak.
Yes, I have seen Greek students in Romania even now.
I would definitely prefer to spend the last year of my life (and every year of my life) thinking that I will live to be 100 than worrying too much all the time!
I hope everything went well today at the hospital!
You are an optimistic person and I understand that optimism is very good for your health. Life is easier when you are optimistic!
Well... a good thing it's over! It was heart surgery, done through the femoral vein and it was at one point very painful. Through some wires that went to the heart, electrical impulses were transmitted that made me think I felt what death row inmates on the electric chair felt. The doctor warned me it would be painful but not dangerous but I was afraid my chest would explode!
Now I'm home and have to be quiet, mostly in bed, for a week.
Ok, that really sounds scary and awfully painful. I am glad you are already at home and I am sure Magda will take good care of you! I wish that the recovery will be super fast!
I am not sure I am as optimistic as I sound. But yes, I think so too, it is good for the health and makes things less heavy. I think that I am less or more optimistic in certain themes, while I can be less or more pessimistic in others (maybe it depends on how well informed I am as you say? It surely depends on many things).
I have noticed that when I think of how small and insignificant I am and how I can't change anything big in the world, which is a pessimistic but absolutely realistic thought, then I feel more calm, and maybe then I seem too optimistic. Hats off if it makes any sense @bluemoon!
