When it comes to Greece, I am lost. Admittedly I have not followed the happenings very closely until last week. We have been to Greece several times on holiday, one of my best friends lived in Athens for nearly a decade, so we kind of knew the country's position is not brilliant but neither is the rest of Southern Europe's.
Then, last Tuesday, in the heat of the Greek crisis, I came across a fellow blogger's post and it all started making sense. It was written straight from the heart and it struck a cord inside me that made me write a comment on her blog, like it on Facebook, share it with all my social media friends and even send it via mail to people I felt would appreciate reading this first-hand insight of a Greek living abroad.
Next thing I know, a day later, The Huffington Post, had published it on their site.
I spent the rest of the day with a smile on my face. I told my husband and my kids about it, which NEVER happens. All this, because I am truly thrilled for my blogger friend for having written such a wonderfully touching post and being rewarded by it being published on Huffington Post. Bravo Katia. I just hope it goes viral and many fellow Greek compatriots (inside and out of Greece) will read it.
Take the time and click here. It is worth the read:

Ingrid, I am humbled! Thank you, once again, for your kind words and for sharing this so generously. It was, indeed, written from the heart, and I am very touched and happy that it resonated with you. Now all we need is an agreement for Greece :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your post. Very honest, straight from the heart as well! My turn to share :)
All the best, Katia
