My New Joys 

I am really sorry I did not keep you posted with my daily joys last week. It in no ways means that I had no joys. My week was very nice: full of work, new people and even a new discovery. So, let me share some of my joys with you:

I am grateful to my good friend who spent some of his life time and shared some of his native landscape with me. It fills me with so much joy to realize how lucky I am to have such a friend who wishes to bring me some happiness, to make my day really special! :) Even if my day's rainy and dull.

I'm grateful for my two of my new students who came to me as a real miracle. Truly speaking, I had some sort of silent time with teaching. Most students are still talking their finals now, so the number of my students has decreased. Now with my dad's health condition I really feel like working a bit more. It's not just duty or responsibility. It's what I am happy to do as long as I am able to. I have no idea how long. But I hope long enough until my dad is healthy again and can come back to work. So, I'm grateful to God for sending me two unique students! One is a lady who does not know a single English word but who is leaving abroad pretty soon, so she needs something intensive...so even though I feel scared to teach someone so fresh, I did grab that chance. It's some new experience for me too. And now my heart is singing when I hear her English qustions...I love it! Let it be broken or with lots of mistakes...her dedication alone makes me feel happy and hopeful. I'm also excited about my new student who came from abroad. I've been teaching him both - English and German. It's tricky. But I enjoy it. It's simply wonderful to show him the light in this dark corridor  of two foreign languages.

I'm grateful for my little friend, a black raven my mom picked up some days ago. He was not really able to fly, was hopping on the ground...so my mom decided it'd be a good idea to help him...so we happily fed him for three days. We gave him boiled fish and eggs. We were even trying to teach him/her to speak...and he /she did pronounce sounds! ;) Soon, though I could not stand his cage staying...I know what freedom means. How great it is to be free. And how awful it is to have no hope, no space to stretch your wings...So, we took him/her back...home...and he was soooooo happy to "fly away"....Yeah...he could already use his wings...

I miss him/her but I'm happy to realize that he/she is free....I'm grateful for my freedom. For moving around the way I can. I'm happy to give freedom to someone who must be always free. Birds can't be kept in cages. It's not right. It's not fair. If you have wings, you should fly....

I'm grateful for my blessed Sunday. For my hope. For my piece of freedom. For the rainy clouds. For catching raindrops into my palms. It feels so nice! Like catching loving tears...
I'm grateful for someone who was waiting for  me. For my silly joy. 

I'm grateful for our cherries and apricots' season. I'm grateful for my open window and some fresh air coming my way now. I'm grateful for my lovely female friend who supports my crazy ideas. :D I'm grateful for my new ideas. Some of them are very strange...BUT who knows? Maybe a bit of craziness is what makes our life happier? ;)

I'm now going to hit the sack, to slowly fall into a different reality of my dreams.
