Bambi is blessed to have old and close friends who are like family to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rita is one of them. It is hard to find words to introduce this friend to you, but Bambi will give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rita is full of talent at so many levels. Bambi is both inspired by and proud of her. Indeed, she is smart and highly efficient while being a critical thinker. She has a rich philosophy of life, an authentic perspective on society, and a good sense of humour. She is also highly educated. In addition to her devotion to her lovely family as well as her inspiring career (in two different countries), she keeps impressing Bambi with her art creations and highly productive hobbies. Among her numerous other skills is her mastery of languages, including her beautiful French. She writes elegantly with beautifully chosen words and with much lucidity and a refreshing honesty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this being said, Rita has a precious quality in life: she is humble. Yet Bambi managed to convince her to accept to share with us part of her talent, appreciation of nature, and writing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with a picture Bambi received yesterday night from her friend with a funny note saying: “Spring is here!<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi was much impressed by Rita’s new piece of art inspired by the cherry blossom season in Washington, DC. Bravo to her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a brief interaction about spring and nature’s beauty, Rita shared another picture taken from the following source: https:\/\/bit.ly\/40crm98<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything more beautiful and uplifting to the soul than the above?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi was deeply touched as this picture reminded her of a DEAR friend in Japan [hello Bente :)] and of another UNFORGETTABLE one in heaven (the eternal Firas who inspired Bambi’s blog!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The beauty of Japan through the eyes of Bente<\/em>” is the title of an older Bambi’s post show at the very end of this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To come back to Rita now, she is generous. Indeed, she helped Bambi find a musical melody to go with the current post. She chose for us Dalida’s song “Le temps des fleurs<\/em>” [“Flower Time<\/em>“], which Bambi happens to adore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merci “Ratrout<\/em>” (= “Little or cute Rita<\/em>” :)). OK that was a Lebanese-style teasing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
