It’s just happened….
The opening story is always very important, and I felt honored and also nervous that writing this blog and being the first one who will do it, was putted on my shoulders. I was thinking about it for a while- how should I start it. I was looking at many thoughts and ideas in my head and wondering -should I start with the poem or quote or maybe a joke? And then it finally hit me. How about I just start with an actual life expirience... a true life idyll…
This was a beautiful Sunday morning. Even if it was raining outside and the sky was gray, it was still perfect. The rain sounds on our roof window made a relaxing sounds. My roommate, also a volunteer, was sitting in her favorite chair and crocheting while watching her favorite TV show and time to time laughing in funny moments. Meantime I was doing every Sundays small cleaning and thinking about the stories I read the day before and in background I could hear my favorite songs from Elvis, Frank and Louis. That was the moment, when I suddenly release, that finally in our 6 month here in beautiful Lioba klooster territory, after lot of ups and downs and ups again, after so many educating and beautiful experiences here, after trying to find our way how to work and live together with each other here – we have finally and unconsciously succeeded and now just enjoying or life. It felt something like those old sea traveler stories - when after the stormy night the sun rises again, bringing a new sunny day calming the ship and the soul. That is the moment when you realise that life is so beautiful and you need so little to be just happy.
I wish to you too - to notice these small, beautiful and uplifting life moments and see that it is so easy to be happy and be grateful for it
Lots of warm hugs
