HAPPY November Day or Nine Years Ago...

This is exactly nine years since my life has changed. Forever. There was not a single day when I wouldn't speak/write/listen to the English language. This day nine years ago I met my first native speaker friend and teacher. Nine years ago I still had no idea that I'd ever speak English, know many nice people from all over the world and become a translator and a little bit a teacher. I did not know English would ever bring me that far...

                                    Me, my dear friend Joel and my mom seven years ago...

I can't help but thanking God for everything. For the right moment, the right person. Everything is a like a big chain of happy events in my life. Everything is like a big complicated puzzle...Now I am just speechless looking back at all my challenges, at all those moments I never thought I'd ever experience and people I never expected to meet.
Today nine years ago I started my new era. I started my new today. Not all of my dreams have come true. But what I never dreamt of - is my reality now. I do not really deserve everything I have. Someone Above decided to make me happy. I didn't get the right functional legs or hands. I was supposed to be a couch potato for the rest of my existence. I was not expected to be independent at all. Now I can do pretty lots of things. English has give me the wings. I can fly with my thoughts. I couldn't come to most of my good friends. They came to me instead. My words have brought them to me.
There are some songs which are closely connected with that amazing time nine years ago - 

I am happy to be where I am now. I hope to be brave enough to change my life soon again. This part of me nine years ago will always stay with me.
I'm grateful for having English...I'm grateful for November 2004. I'm grateful for every person in my life I've met. I'm grateful for their patience with me. I'm grateful for being in love with languages. I'm grateful for just being. Life is beautiful. I know it now. :)

P.S. Today is ONE year since I've started my blog...I'm sorry for my huge pause. I didn't post my joys last month much. But I promise I'll catch up! ;) Just stay tuned up! ;)
