Day 23. Cooking, my love

   I know, I'm the perfect wife to be:> I looooove to cook and bake:) Today I had the chance to play with dough again. I love its smell and its softness:) 

   

   Here's the result of today's work:

Day 22. Optimism

   Even though today it rained almost all day I gazed at one of the most beautiful sunrises I've seen:) The sun was rising so carefree not minding the gloomy clouds above. I liked that. It was something like "If you're optimistic, no matter how hard the times will be, you can go through." 

   We should learn something from everything we see around us. Sometimes the details count more than the bigger picture.

Day 21. One of those golden moments

   I initially chose a different moment of the day to talk about, but it surely doesn't bear the same importance:) This one right here is one of those golden moments when you're sooo relaxed and carefree like you usually feel during a holiday at the seaside when the breeze caresses your hair. Nevertheless, an evening spent in my own vineyard (located at the 4th floor of a block of flats) while reading in the last rays of sun can surely compare to all that seaside retreat:) It felt like a total relaxation. Just like a bubble bath. (Girls know what I'm talking about). Like all issues that need to be solved can be postponed and it's just you and the book in the sunset. Lovely! 
           You should try it too:)

P.S. I love my bookmark so I think you should see it too^^ (Full view to read the motto)

Day 20. The points go to...

 ... the kids from three different classes from the second kindergarten I'm working in:) You know the story. When kids are good and pay attention to the lesson, they receive a reward like this. Today I awarded some colored stickers for the first time in my life and I loved doing it!:) The activities were awesome, the kids were awesome, everything is awesome!:) I'm in heaven! Don't ever take me out of here!:)

Day 19. Sun dust

   You know it's going to be a good day when the morning starts like this. Nevertheless, it's always good to wake up with a smile on your face no matter the weather:) Let's smile more often!

Day 18. A good day for picking apples

   ...but a bad day for me. I'm having a cold and I hope it will pass soon because I don't want my kids from the kindergarten to be sick because of me... Pills and tea and bed time.

    On another note, I can't fall in love with Cecelia Ahern. I'm sorry, I just can't. Maybe I'm reading the wrong books but everything seems dull in comparison with Marc Levy. Is it worth it to borrow "If you could see me now"? I don't like the Romanian translation. Maybe that's why all her books are so dull...

Day 17. Buried treasures

   

   Most of us have good memories from childhood regarding our time spent to the countryside with our grandparents. In my case, a new visit revived the feeling of freedom, the smell of green grass in spring, the wind through my hair while chasing butterflies, the smell of fresh cheese cake made by grandma. I had simple grandparents. Simple, yet humble and good people. Now it's all deserted back there. It's like time has buried all these treasures somewhere down deep and now it's a whole new land. A deserted one. One that tells you life has come to an end there. I miss my grandparents...

Day 16. Reflections

   In our everyday life we are are mere reflections of our behaviors even though, many times, we don't acknowledge. Everybody's looking. Some are learning from our very own behavior. Some don't want to be like us. Some want to follow our steps. We have to be careful. Footprints like these can never be erased and can have deep consequences.

Day 15. Birthdays

   Birthdays remind us we have friends. Friends we don't see all year long but we get the chance to see on our b-day. Or friends that we didn't talk to in a long while and still, they send us a "happy birthday" wish on our Facebook wall. Friends are connected to birthdays. Always will be. Even if you're flying solo and you don't have your own "group of favourite people", some classmates will surely remember your birth date and there you go! You've got yourself some birthday wishes:) Maybe you think they're just a formality, but if you look at them the other way, you'll see how much those wishes actually help you want to fight another year, enjoy it and find the best part in everything. 

   Let's focus on the bright side of birthdays! Hanging around loved ones... no matter who they are:) You don't even need presents... Ok, maybe just a few:))

Day 14. 50 shades of autumn

   Last Thursday autumn showed us her bad side. It rained all day long. I know some of you love rainy days, but I don't. I'm exactly the opposite! I LOVE sunny days and I take my energy from them. So, as you can guess, rainy days make me blue and "help" me find the bad part in everything. Yeah, what a psychologist since I can't psycho bubu myself with this one... I don't know, I've always been like this. In love with the "springy" kind of weather. The one that reminds you nature is alive and kicking. Rain just melts everything and covers the beating heart of nature. 
   Don't you agree?

Day 13. Immersed in the past

Wow! I LOVED the surprise life gave me today! I had to attend a meeting for the school psychologists and we gathered in the Festive Hall of a high school. I could have never expected SUCH a festive hall! My dear God, it was like I stepped into another world, a classy world of the past. I loved everything in there: the windows and their curtains, the elegant chairs, the cuckoo clock and most of all, the chandeliers<3 The finishing touch was a beautiful quote hanging on a wall, a quote by my favourite priest (and also the wisest): Bartolomeu Anania. So I chose to upload 2 photos today. Only because you HAVE to see the quote as well!:) 

Day 12. About people and leaves

   Even if we are all like leaves floating on a river towards The Unknown, it's always worth it to fight for what we are and for what we want. I know the river isn't calm from time to time, but we can't give up. We have to keep on fighting. 

Day 11. The bond

   I know, I've talked about childhood before, but working with kids and being among them has its effects on me. I've seen a mother pick up her child in kindergarten today and she was so affectionate with her little daughter. There was surely a strong bond between the two. The girl said she liked it there and she'd come tomorrow too and her mother kissed her proudly. Then, I say: What can be more beautiful than being a mother and having a beautiful child who will light up your days? I think I'm getting old for saying this (I wouldn't have thought about it some years ago) but I bet I'll actually enjoy the adulthood we want to achieve when being little and the one grown up people say you want to avoid:) Can't wait to have my own family and my own kids!<3

Day 10. Sunny Sundays

All Sundays should be sunny and peaceful. I'd love to travel to a new town every Sunday and discover its wonders while walking in the sun. So peaceful and eerie!:) So was yesterday in Satu Mare. I loved every bit of its countryside like streets filled with colorful flowers and beautiful gates. To many Sundays like this!:)

Day 9. I do!

   I don't know about you but I love love love weddings!:) They make me all warm and fuzzy inside and I can't but enjoy watching photos taken by famous wedding photographers or attend weddings myself:) 
   On Saturday I went to one of my best friend's wedding, a wedding that was expected and planned with a lot of care and joy. The bride, my friend, was more radiant than ever and the wedding itself was so beautiful, classy and elegant. No glam, no kitch, no over the top. Everything was simple yet so vibrant and suited to the couple's personality. They are perfect together and for sure this wedding was an event I'll never forget. 

   My friend's married now and her beautiful wedding reminded me how important it is to love and be loved and the joy that comes with the feeling... the feeling you belong to someone and that someone belongs to you.

Day 8. Return to innocence

   I can't tell you how excited I am to have my own office in the kindergarten<3 These days I've made a big pile of toys I received over the years and I intend to move them into my office so that children would love that place when coming "to visit" me. So I'm practically moving my childhood over there:) When I finish making the interior design, it's going to be a fluffy, colorful childhood retreat, sort of like children's paradise (I hope:P) even for me so I'm kind of returning to childhood through this (so I can express my childish personality without anyone suspecting I'm immature)^^

   I'm very thankful for having this opportunity and I want to enjoy it to the fullest!:D

Day 7. At peace

Have you ever felt that you had everything you wanted and you could die in that very moment and be at peace with yourself without feeling the fear that usually comes with death? I was at peace with myself today. I cried of happiness and that doesn't happen often. I realized I understand life differently and that I'm still a child... one that's eager to learn new lessons and help new people:) I love my job!:)

Day 6. Celebrating friendship

“A friend is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.” (Aristotle)

  Friends are very important in everybody's life. My special friendship began in highschool. We used to be deskmates and even now, after 5 years since we graduated highschool, we are still best friends. That says a lot. I'm very proud of us and I know for sure we'll be like this forever. Crying on the other's shoulder, sharing the big news, the small ones, asking for opinions, watching movies and cooking together and so many more! (I love you, Julia<3)

Day 5. Towards the light

   We are in the dark at the beginning of the road but little by little the light reveals itself and we take another shy step towards it. Of course we need help and patience but in the end knowledge will be gained and never lost. I gained knowledge today. I hope my road towards the light will be just as smooth from now on:)

Day 4. Choices

     Every day we have to make choices. Since we wake up till we go to bed in the night, our life is controlled by our very own decisions. Now or later? Short or long? Healthy or not-so-healthy-but-yummy?:)

   I had to make a choice today. Nothing big, but yet important for me. After a hard struggle and asking people around I got to the best solution. I realized I can use both of my options. At times this is the best decision since every choice has its consequences and we have to be careful about that. I wanted to be happy and make someone happy as well so now we're all happy. I guess I was pretty lucky:)

Day 3. The unexpected

   Life constantly gives you reasons to smile. Every day you can meet the unexpected that changes your day and brings a smile on your face. For me, it's all about dogs.

   Today we walked (my boyfriend and I). Not much, but it's a good start to become a healthy habit. And as we were walking, we bumped into this cute fellow. We spent some minutes by his side, petting him and talking to him. He seemed used to people because he wasn't scared and didn't run off like many of the dogs I met on the street. He wanted to be pet. My boyfriend asked me if I'd adopt him. I would have said YES in a heartbeat if I didn't still live with my parents.

   This made me remember how much I want a dog. Maybe you'd ask me WHY? and then tell me that involves a great responsability. Honestly, I think this might sound a little selfish, but I want a dog because every single time I met one until now... I smiled. It doesn't matter how sad or troubled I was, dogs always made me happy. They're adorable and, above all, they're searching for your affection and they want to give you theirs. What can be more special than that?:)

Day 2. Spoonful of autumn

   I was sooo happy to be able to spend the morning in the middle of nature again, holding hands with the young lady called Autumn. I love feeling her scent, touching her colors, embracing her warmth while laying in the sun. 
   I can feel it! It's going to be a lovely autumn!<3

Day 1. Childhood

    I wish I had a bee of any type so I could easily represent my first workplace, but unfortunately, the only bee I had was on the earrings I made for myself and then gave away to a dear friend, so I searched in my room for another item that reminds me of childhood and kids. Why? Because I am going to work with them the following year. 

    Today I found out I'm going to be a psychologist at a kindergarten in my town named "The Little Bee" (hence, the bee I needed for my photo). In the end I laid my eyes on a little smiling star that always makes me smile and a cute pencil with a teddy bear on the top. 
    I think this photo suits the day. The day I found out shooting for the stars is good because you always get where you want in the end. 

                                      And for me... it's just the beginning :)
