Gratitude


 This weekend was all about gratitude. I have been contemplating and feeling gratitude for everything that happened in my life until now. On Saturday I woke up around 5:30 in order to do a joy and gratitude practice. After I finished my practice, I immediately dressed up and went for a walk. Actually, I had scheduled my manicure appointment. Afterwards, I met a friend for brunch and some vintage shopping. I made some choices this weekend and at some moment I doubted my choices. The people I after the decision was made, they only came into my path to reassure me I made the right decision.

Starting with that moment, I remembered that there were times in my life when I felt so upset on people, on God, on Universe. Those moments when I thought everything was against me. Nowadays, I may only feel gratitude for everything that happens. I am grateful for my neighbor who flooded my apartment. If it weren't for her, I would not know my limits and what I am willing to pay for my comfort. I am grateful for my friends who bring light, love and experiences in my life. I am grateful for all those who hurt as I would not know my strength. I am grateful for those who come and pick a fight with me, as I would still run from conflict. I am grateful for those who challenged my limitative thinking and made me go outside the box. I am grateful for the people who made me stay in question and find my own answers. I am grateful that I wake up every morning and I breath and drink some good coffee. I am grateful for my body who helps me everyday to carry myself in the world. (By the way, during the weekend I walked more than 43,000 steps.)

I finally got my answer why we should pray for those who hurt us and for those who light up our days. We pray for those who hurt us or disappoint us for God to bring light into their path. We pray for those who once brought light into our lives so that God multiplies their blessings. 

Do you feel grateful today? Are you still alive? Can you walk? Can you talk? Can you enjoy some good coffee?

HOME

       There has been so much going on in the last two weeks that I am not sure how to tell it to you. I went on two hikes both quite difficult while I was discovering so much about myself. On May Day, we started our trip to Brasov from Bucharest. On our way to what would be our home for a couple of days, we stopped at my mom's place. The entire time I felt like I am going home, home in a spiritual way. I felt so much gratitude for everything and everyone. This comes from a person that would only dream of feeling this.      Four years ago I was in a relationship with a person who would reflect every pain I have. I still remember to this day that we were gathered in his kitchen, his mom and dad and us. He was comfortably staying on the sofa, while I was discussing with his mom in his kitchen. I have it graved in my memories when he told smiling: " We are alike. You are a runaway. The only difference between you and I is that you also physically runaway ...

Love and growth

           I've been thinking for a while in writing about relationships. What I can tell you is that I never had an example of a healthy relationship in my entire family. I don't mention my parents relationship as they were not able to reach agreement on joint custody and visiting hours. I also mention the extended family.  I've been raised by a single parent and the hardships of a relationship were hidden from my eyes.           My friends mentioned to me that I am the Creator of my relationships and I can build what I call "my perfect relationship". My friend also mentioned that I am not able  to request from my partner what I am not and that I will need to work out on my fears, traumas etc. It happens that my partner will trigger all my traumas while he will create the space to heal. There will be a dance between us.       What my friends were saying at that time seemed otherworldly, but their words...

Renting my baby

           I've been going through a lot of changes and challenges lately. As I moved in autumn at my boyfriend's place, I kept for a while my place free. Almost one year. This winter I paid utilities almost 100 EUR, which I found quite a lot for a house I don't live in. I discussed with my boyfriend to take all my precious books from there and have a space dedicated in his house.              Beside the logistics of moving my library to my boyfriends house, I also needed to handle a lot of documents so that I can officially be the administrator. This is the house I renovated. I was thought it is important because I chose every piece of material with my hand. I went two or three times to the stores so that I can decide on the type of sandstone I want. I watched two times the documentaries related on interior design on Netflix just to think to the flow I want to have in the room.          ...
