Dancing Bees, Cat in My Arms and the               Spring in My Hair

I think SHE has arrived. I mean spring. I call her in Ukrainian "she' because there is certainly something female about this beautiful season, don't you think so? 
This day I have sort of escaped from my every day cabinet fever. I simply set my mind spiders free...;)

Our garden...spring is slowly painting...

It has been perhaps the first time this year I have forgotten about all my recent losses and problems. I just enjoyed the sunbathing, smelling the spring in the air, with my eyes sinking into the blue endless and clouds-free sky. 

The firsr March flowers...

I had the time of my life to pat our big but still childish dog Kissa, hold our neighbour's snowwhite kitty and admire dancing bees around the first flowers....

              This short video from our garden can hopefully make you feel what I have felt today...something marvellous!!!

                                          This lovely kitty was purring in my arms today...

I'm grateful for my moments of joy today. I am happy to feel God's love in this beauty of nature He let me see today. I'm grateful for my dear little frienfds - my dog and the neighbour's cat who love me just for what I am...I'm grateful for being just 26 years old this time...and for this blue moment I will remember forever...

                               Hope

Have you ever had this feeling like you need someone so much but this person is away and there is no way to contact him\her? I believe almost everyone has experienced that tricky situation. 

I have lost some very dear people to me this year. Their voices are still in my ears, on my mind. I miss them. Never thought I would. Thanks to God, I somehow manage to keep my sad thoughts away while translating something or teaching. I'm happy to be busy these days. 

Today I enjoyed completing some of my long-awaited tasks. It is funny but for some urgent things there is no time. Time is a really mysterious thing. It always slips away. I can hardly catch its tail. But sometimes I can somehow follow it, almost running. 

I'm thankful for spending some time with my family today. My dad has come back home. I could share some of my joys with him. It was so nice to see joy in his eyes. 

I miss some people. Some of them I won't see in our world anymore. Some I may still see one day. No idea. But I'm happy to have had and still have them in my life. 
I'm grateful for this unexpected strength I had today. I'm grateful for my hope. It's great to hope even if there is no evidence of your hope...

                        A Warm Hello

This day I received a warm hello from my far away friend who's like a brother to me. I felt really happy. It's great to feel myself needed and cared for. 

I have enjoyed a wonderful talk with another friend of mine. It always feels warm and so cosy to speak with him. 
I'm happy I have "survived" my hyper-active student! ;) I even turned into her teacher of music for five minutes. ;)

I'm grateful for this invisible thread of people who care of me even though they don't have a chance to see me so far. I'm honoured to be in their thoughts and prayers. Life is great when you see someone close to you  even let it be miles and oceans away. 

             Freedom from Hectic Things

Today is the first day of Lent what means one should restrain oneself from some certain kinds of food and usual entertainment. We've already started our Easter preparations (by the way, our Easter takes place on 5th of May, so we have some more time!).

 It's a special time of the year. It's like an exam for me. I usually fail it this way of another. Even today my emotional condition was far away from the one I'd desire. But I'm still glad. I'm happy to realize that I actually need little to be happy. I just need my peace. And today I hope to listen to myself, my inner part. I'm spending this evening the way I don't usually do. I enjoy the silence, my thoughts. 

I'm grateful for this chance to learn myself and my own world. It is really necessary sometimes. It is a very long journey. Let's see where it'll bring me in six weeks. 

                           Imagine

If only my imaginations were visible! :D Maybe I could really make some of them visible by describing them. (?) But I'm afraid it's just like looking at someone...you never know how this someone sees you...You'll never know for sure. You'll always guess...

Today I was day dreaming. Listening to music and dreaming. And I am happy my dreams have no limits. They are sometimes weird. But they are so. Like me. :)

I'm grateful for this day. I'm happy for my friends who listened to me today. Who read my messages. For the sunshine I admired through the window. For the happy birds singing.
I'm happy to have my friends. I'm happy to be accepted the way I am. And I'm happy my friends see a better person in me. Better than I actually am. :)

                    Ice-Cream Joy

I'm like a kid when it comes to licking some ice-cream. :D Well, actually I just enjoy when it slowly melts in my mouth. I should care about my throat, though! Today after five hours of teaching I enjoyed a sweet plate of ice-cream (I'll start my diet anyway soon, so my body should stay patient!) while watching a movie. I know it's not the best way to stay fit and happy...BUT sometimes it's the best thing one can do to recharge his\her batteries. :)

I'm thankful for my busy Saturday, for my Internet back (that was disconnected yesterday evening for some hours. 

I'm happy to feel myself a child. I'm happy to have some carefree moments when all my every day troubles are frozen by a spoonful of ice-cream! :P

                        Booked Miracles

Can one book a miracle? Probably not. But one can certainly hope for it. 

Today I witnessed some miracles. I saw first yellow crocuses and green onions in our garden. An invisible artist has been painting things around for many days...I can't wait to smell it as well!!!!!!!!!!

Then I was doing my usual things and as soon as I finished some urgent articles, the power went out...And I was surprised. Well, not really about a powercut. It happens everytime it's windy here. But by the fact that I was given time to complete my work. 

There is really something wonderful about every day. My life is a miracle itself. The fact that I exist and type these sentences is perhaps the greatest miracle. ;)

P.S. And...the light is back!!!!!! Isn't it a miracle? ;)
