Sun...Rain...Friends and Hope

woke up in the morning and looked outside...for the first time in the last weeks I can see the blue color of the sky and no clouds...instantly I got a big smile on my face and felt that today it will be a special day...if you ask me why I can tell you that is the way I felt; now I can say that YES it was a special day!

...a day of re-connection to my good friends,a day of hope and inner peace. It all started with a skype conversation with a very good friend from Austria...Even if we didn't talk since 2 months, I felt I was next to her and I could imagine her face and gestures when she was talking or listening to what I was saying...it was the first time since I am in England and stay home when I didn't feel lonely!...I realized that is not necessarily about the place where you stay if you are spiritually and emotionally connected to friends.....

The day didn't stop here...I decided to go out and enjoy the sun...started walking towards the center I saw a Mary-go-round (carusel) and an old men selling sugar cotton - I don't know the English name(Zucker Watte or Vata pe bat)....this reminded me of the beautiful spring days in Herastrau - Bucharest spent with Marina...a good friend from Romania...

...going around the city on streets I have never been before, I discovered a nice park and church and an opened market with fresh vegetables and fruits and old books....I bought 4 volumes of Harry Potter and couple of CDs with old music...I've got them from a stand where they were collecting money for Alzheimer disease research....the ladies at the stand were really friendly and one of them told me that she would like to see more young people opened to buy old books and donate money for charity... I am not the biggest fan of charity, but today I saw in her smile the happiness of being helped to do good for other people....

Of course it started raining..we are in England not in Spain:)...I started walking in the rain and know what? I enjoyed it sooo much!!! It projected me back in childhood when we used to play and run in the rain as we were told by the old people that if it rains on you you grow:))...like the plants and flowers:)

After a bit of going around the city I got back home and started preparing some presents for my friends from Austria...it makes me feel soooooo good when I am creating small presents and relaxes me a lot...it is a small thing but definitely sweets up my life:)...why not doing every day something we really enjoy?? because we don't have time?I think it is a lazy excuse and we should start appreciating ourselves more and spend time to do what we like at least for short time...

The evening was closed by a long phone conversation with a dear friend that currently lives in the US but soon will move back to Romania.I haven't seen him since about 3 years and lately we got back in contact...we have a strange story behind us, but I still feel him as one of my best friends, as a person that is special to me and he doesn't need to do any effort to be like this - he is just himself...
.......still today he amazed me with his thinking about sustainability and ethics...I realized he got mature and he grew up...but more I realized he believes int he same things as I do and this gave me a lot of HOPE and strength to believe in my dream of contributing to a better world...Thank You!

Even if I have other friends believing in this, he is not from the same group as they are...he is coming from a different world and still has the same view...I am happy to see that young people think of the future generations...I am happy to see that a person so close to me and I believed we are very different in thinking is on the same line....there is HOPE!


...before going to bed I got a text message from my friends from London.It is the most beautiful thing I received lately...she just says she is happy to have me as friend! This is so fulfilling and it means a lot to me.

With a smile on my face and peace inside me, I am going to bed....it was the best day since I came here...the sun starts shining on my street as well....
