Hello again!

Times are not easy indeed, everything seems passing by so fast and nothing is simple, we too have had some difficulties,

there’s no use denying it. And even though our encoun-ters, dear readers, may seem watered down by time, the

enthusiasm in our stories is certainly not. Everyday stories, or tales told by some elderly friend, that take us to moments and adventures of other times.

Might it be yesterday or today in the end it doesn’t matter, the important thing is to never give up dream-

ing and sharing this dream with you. Why? Because we mustn’t forget that dreams pushes us all, children and

grownups alike, to find that world that we seek but too many times we forget about, caught up in our everyday haste.

Dreams make us remember our true nature, our deep necessity for love and kindness. The fact that we can sometimes stop and dream, in spite of every-thing, shows us how fortunate we still are today because no bombs or violent ter-rorists prevent us from doing so. It might seem easy rhetoric but sadly we must ac-cept the fact that it is a reality of today’s world and that is why we MUST consider ourselves lucky, seeing beyond our small (fortunately still small) struggles. This issue is especially dedicated to young athletes and we hope it could contribute to Torino 2015 – European Capital is Sport’s image.And so have a good read! We hope to continue doing so… still, perhaps more punc-tual next time. If you too would like that, take a few moments of your time and have a look at this.
