KEEPING ON SMILING

Sometimes it's hard to smile. I have my days when I don't smile a lot. Today I had my reasons to smile. I heard the voices of people I care about. I saw someone I love very much. I received the words of love. Isn't that a good reason to go to bed with a smile in my heart? ;) 

Green Eggs and Ham for a Cat in a Hat or Surving another day without the Sun

I miss the sun. If you only knew how. I wake up in the arms of the cloudy spring. I don't give up. I hope for a nice surprise. For a sunny kiss on my pillow. This waiting is my joy. I wait. And I hope. My hope is like a candle. And I carry it through the darkness. ;)

Today my good friend sent me some more grammar books I'll happily use for my little students and myself. :P I wouldn't mind into turning an English speaking baby. ;) 

I'm thankful for my hope. I'm thankful for being able to polish my nails by myself. ;) I'm grateful for my new leaf of life. For someone I love. :) My day was cloudy but I think of my sun. :)

  My Handwriting and Silly Questions

Today my little student asked me "How can you write like that?" looking at my stiff fingers and the way I hold my pen. This sort of questions used to make me speechless and heartbroken. This time I felt funny. I smiled at her. And I said "I don't know. You see my fingers are not so flexible like yours, so that's my way". And...guess what? She said "I wanna try to write like you. Let me try..."....Haha. Yeah. 
Then one of my good friends wrote something silly to me today. And wonderfully his silly statement made me feel happy. Really. 

So, what shall one do to be happy? To be yourself. To have someone who accepts you and loves you the way you ARE. Without trying to remake you. 

I'm grateful for my fingers. For their great job. For their patience. ;) And for my lazy student who takes me easy. And for my friend for his being. For his time he presented to me. I'm grateful for my dear brother living far away. For his kindness to me.  For people who remember me and call me. 

Joy rolled in a Pancake and Knowledge in the Eyes of My Student! :)

Today we've started our Shrovetide. It's a special time when we bake lots of pancakes. They are like little suns. Melting in my mouth. This is my slow joy. ;) Well, I like to make it slow. To enjoy them with tea. To make a smiley face with honey or sour cream. ;)

Today my student made me feel so proud. I was in a bad mood. But her correct homework and the knowledge I saw in her eyes made me feel so sunny. I felt like I could fly. 

I'm grateful for my own little progress with my new foreign language. I know more vocabularies and can pronounce them better. I don't know if it all makes any sense. Maybe I am just wasting my time. My minutes of life. My precious moments. But it's like a sunray for me. I hope it'll be my sun too. Never mind my midnight nonsense. 

                  Laughing My Head Off 

As I've probably mentioned already - I love to laugh. I love to watch some comedies. I love to laugh with people, who like an echo laugh back...

This evening I enjoyed a nice British comedy. I had a nice portion of laughter. Let's say I almost laughed my head off. Then my mom joined my "shaking" moment and the power of our laughters connected made our day much brighter. 

Laughter is the best way to stay alive. Tears are important too. They both are essential parts of Life. I'm thankful for my peaceful evening. I'm thankful for my laughing moments. It's great to laugh and "infect" other people with my laughter...:D

A Bunch of Candies....and a Wonderful Moment of  Being Together! 

Today I had the best bunch of flowers in my life ever...a bunch of candies! ;) That was so cute especially if to take into account that they were presented by my young student. :) 

Later this evening after finishing my lessons I had a nice time of my life. The moment when I didn't feel alone but together with different human beings-my dear friends. They are all from different places. They are all very unique. I felt their voices, imagine their face expressions and literally felt the touch of their kind hearts. I somehow felt free. No limits. Just easy. And so warm. Even without any cup of tea. :)

I'm really grateful for my Saturday -sweet and warm. For this rain outside. For my smiling. For feeling myself not alone. I am together...

Unexpected Calls

It is great to hear the voice you were looking for so much. It is great to call someone you love. It's really amazing to speak with someone who cares of you. 

Today Ukraine is celebrating Women's Day. I wouldn't say I like this day so much. I take it easy. I don't mind receiving any nice greetings or words of love my way. ;) Today I was selfish. I did not make many calls myself. But I enjoyed receiving unexpected calls from people I don't always communicate with. It was really heartwarming to talk to people who thought of me today. I don't feel any anger towards those who did not call me. Everyone is busy. It's clear. I am myself this way. But these unexpected calls show me how I should really care of people around me.

I'm grateful for my friends and people who hardly know me for wishing me all the best. I'm grateful for my free day I could enjoy with my mom. I'm grateful for every person in my life.
