RUINED PLANS CAN MAKE ME HAPPY!

Do you plan your life? Do you plan every day? Do you plan your holidays? Do you plan everything? I used to do it. I used to plan every hour of my life, every hour of my family life. Whenever the plans didn't work out I felt upset, stressed, unhappy (I feel like I had already written about it! Ha, ha! The first stage of shizophrenia??? ). Anyway, I'll keep on going.

It was Sunday. Thousands of plans (as usual on weekends). But no! We didn't have luck. This was the first thought. But minutes later we decided to change plans. We decided to go down the stream. Why not to go to the park?

So here we are.
It was all green and the lilac blooming. Everything is calm and placatory. On summer Sundays the city is quiet and deserted. It was literally a relaxing time.

I saw doves courting other doves, sparrows trying to steal bread from doves, a toddler touching the tree bark (what a face she had). I wanted to stop each moment of that day.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me. Well, I didn't plan to take a break. Remember? Plans, plans... And lucky I am that day everything went in a different way.

So, it wasn't exactly that day when I realised that misfired plans could make my day. It was some time ago when I decided not to become a slave of the daily events. As you see it can be better for us. I sometimes feel that Universe has different purposes. I love Universe's arrangements. They make me feel happier and less stressful. It knows better my needs. I trust it!

Let the day open different doors in front of you!

Love you all!

PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT BUT GOOD ONES MAKE ME HAPPY!

Hello dear friends from all over the world!

I judge by appearance. Yes, I do! Almost always I'm wrong. Do I think bad about people? I guess yes. Well, I'm trying to control my mind. Furthermore, I've never met any bad people.

The world I live in is full of nice, kind, clever, open-hearted people. Why am I so negative about every new person I meet? I've surrounded myself with fabulous friends. I don't have many of them but they are real ones.

The voice, the clothing, a detail in the appearance may make me feel uncomfortable and I begin thinking in a wrong route. The route takes me to the palaces of my mind. Curious, right?

I know that there are more splendid humans than the mean ones. Then why I become so nervous when I meet a new person and trying to find sometihing negative about him? And all the time it turns out that this man or woman is the nicest person at this exactly moment. 

I don't know any of these people in the photos. I don't know their names but they are good people. Although I know nothing about them. They are nice! Just because I've never met bad ones and they didn't do anything wrong to me.

People are different but the person is nice! Proved!

DETAILS MAKE ME HAPPY!

So glad to see you here!

How many things are making you happy every single day? I have enough things to be impressed by during my life! 

 Every day, every trip is full of pleasant details. Sometimes I can remember only details at the end of the day. 

I can't remember anything unpleasant if I pay attention to the features. When we think about the past we usually recall things, items, parts. When I bring to my mind the painting I liked in the museum what comes first? A brooch lapel pinned, a kitten sitting in the corner of the room, a butterfly resting on the wall. 

Nature is always so inspiring. And relaxing.

Creating something special may enthrall me. And you? If I pay attention to every piece ot the stuff I make it becomes my jewel (or my daughter's favourite toy).

Thank you for being with me!

Love you all!

OLD VILLAGE...

Hellooooo!

I'm so glad to be here again. I've calmed down (a bit) after my last post here. We had rainy days and I was voiceless. That is why no new videos. I don't know why I didn't write anything here. But I found some really warm and kind memories in my subconsciousness. Ha-ha! 

About two years ago I visited a place of my childhood. I used to spend at least one month there every summer. My grandparents are in the better place now, so I don't go there that often anymore. Alas! 

It takes about 2 hours from our city to get there by car. I remember we had great time with my daughter and doggy.

The place has changed. Of course! I don't know if it became worse or better. It's different. But still it stirred my memories. Oh, warm memories from childhood. I can't say that all my youth memories are cosy. These were very pleasant...

It's a typical village here. Some houses have plumbing system, others don't. Look at the gates. Yeah, they are not modern at all. But all handcrafted. And the sheep. I was so excited to meet them! Oh, those memories. We were always waiting for cows and bulls after pasture in the evening. Children weren't frightened of cows but bulls... Usually there were one or two of them following the cows. Kids used to climb up the trees or fences, less brave ran home. I used to be pretty brave. Bulls were huge (in the eyes of children). Sorry, no photos of bulls or cows.

I can't recall these bright houses. I don't think we had them long time ago. Now they look incredible.

A breathtaking fur-tree!

Have a look at these window trims! Pretty new house with old traditions. Love it!

Can you see anything? I knew about this way of building houses but saw it for the first time. People are living in their old house and making the new one around. Genious!!! House inside the house! Is it usual for your palces?

My grandparents' house hasn't changed. Well, it became older, nothing modern. It's very warm and brings back so many memories... No loo, no shower... How could I spend there at least a day in such conditions???!!!!!! We used to go to banya! I was happy there.

So, the river became smaller, the trees became taller but the people... I couldn't believe my eyes!!!! They haven't changed at all!!! The time has passed them by! Unbelievable!

And you? How often do you visit your childhood?

Have a nice week end!

Love you all.

I LEFT IT!!!!!!!

Well, hello!!!

I am so excited now! The weather is great! I've just come home, making something for dinner. So what happend???? I've left my comfort zone. Whoooohoo!!!!

I made a video. Ha-ha! What is so exciting in it you ask. I want to tell people from all over the world how amazing our city is. So I decided to make videos in English. It wasn't easy. 

Number 1: English isn't my native language as you may have noticed. In my place people don't usually speak English every day.

Number 2: Everybody's watching when you speak English. I didn't enjoy it I should say.

Number 3: I didn't like my voice, my accent, my grammar, my appearence in the video!!!!!! So I refilmed (is there such word in English?) 3 times. And people, people were watching.

Well, what I can say. This post is about our comfort zone. I left it and I feel so free. I've never jumped with a parachute but I guess it is something I can compare my day with.

While filming I decided to put some pictures (of better quality, video isn't in HD yet) in my blog so you can enjoy them.

Yes, I did it!!!!

Try something uncomfortable (not shooes, please)

Love, you!!!!

OUR HANDS

Hello everybody!

We all believe in miracles till the certain moment. My daughter believes that one day she'll meet a fairy (btw children make us think that some magic might happen, at least in my case she makes me think so).

Well, what I think is that we can do magic. With our own hands. You don't even need a wand... 

 Some things are difficult to make others are easy. Just hands to create something incredible (sometimes not very). But the process is always so exciting. People can make impressive things. What am I writing about?!!!!!!

Handmade stuff!!!

We can make alot with our hands. A lot of cute, helpful, outstanding and unnecessary things.

It doesn't really matter how old you are. You can always do something. And maybe someone will like it. Maybe not. Don't worry enjoy the process.

Making a wax candle

Let's do magic!
I believe in all of us!!!
Love you all!
