Day 288. Happy end

  During all my childhood I loved fairy tales because they all had their happy ending no matter how difficult the journey was. Well, today I got my happy ending too.

   It was my last day of work in this school year. It's been a full one. Ups and downs and then ups again. I remember that last September I started my first year of work being full of excitement. And then I was afraid that I wouldn't know how to handle some unpredictable situations. But slowly I learned all that and much more. 

   At first I thought I'd be a mini god with so much power to use. But as the months passed I realized I had unrealistic expectations:) Only 10% of what I learned in university would help me in practice. Oh the joy of discovering that!

   But all in all, after making mistakes and learning from them, after so many activities with the kids, today I stepped in a class for the last time this year and the kids all gathered around me hugging me. They were sooo cute especially because they wouldn't normally do that so I wanted to make sure. I asked them what that meant and they said "We love you!!!" So, if this is how my first year of work ended, I'd say it's definitely a Happy End. 

   To many more happy endings!:)

Day 190. A happy end

   If she wanted to remember something about that day then it was two things: the dreadful, cold, windy weather that surpassed all expectations when she thought spring was blooming and the fact that she lived another movie moment even though these two things don't seem to be mixing together.

   It would have been just another good day if it wasn't for the wintery splash. It was that kind of cold weather that gets into your bones and makes you wish you could move to a tropical island. It doesn't even matter if you're going to eat bananas and coconuts for the rest of your life. You just want to get out. So she was prepared to go home from work, knowing she'd have to play hide and seek with the wind and let it chase her for about half an hour. Then... she heard a whistle. She turned around and there he was. Standing behind her with a warm sweater in his hands. She felt she could marry him right there, right then. He reached out. He left his cozy home and ran through the cold to be sure he catches her. That was one of those moments when she knew. She just knew he's the one:) 

   Then she got the sweater on and she embraced him with everything she was while the cold wind was blowing and small snowflakes were falling above them. She took his hand in hers and they left ... happily ever after:)
