My Romantic Evening With A Candle or How I Was Kidnapped!

Yesterday I vanished without a trace…I was kidnapped by a great blackout on our street.  This unexpected “crime” happened during my English lesson. But thanks to my mom, my lesson was “lighted” by a candle with some mandarin peel.

I felt stormy inside. I didn’t really like an idea of staying in this complete silent darkness all the evening. Thanks to God, this darkness was not so scary. On the contrary. My evening was warmed by a lovely chat with my mom in our kitchen. 

Then there was a piece of miracle. I got mail! Well, the thing is I am on cloud nine to receive something. It doesn’t matter what. It might be even a small letter from a friend of mine. What really matters is this warmth I feel whenever I open an envelope. That dark evening I received a wonderful bunch of sunrays: a book from my dear friend who despite being so far away is really close to my heart, and some amazing greetings cards I didn’t expect to get! 

So, I spent my dark hours with my curious nose into the book and cards: smelling and absorbing them all. (Haha, hope you don’t consider me now a nosy maniac!) ;-)

I’m grateful to God for this rare chance to be in silence with my mama. For the evening peace. For some very dear people in my life and even people I don’t know but whose big hearts make me feel so alive. 

I’m the happiest recipient in the world! Well, at least in our village for sure! :-P
