The 1st day of 2011

After working till midnight in the office on the 31^st of December 2010, I went over to my friends to wish a Happy New Year to them, had a bit of chat with them, some sausages, and very delicious cakes.  I spent half an hour trying to get a taxi, but finally managed!  The way home was rather long, we got into a traffic jam, as there was some kind of open air party near Oktogon.  Arrived home, bed, strange dreams, and then!!! the new year really started when at 11ish when I woke up.  The first few thoughts were not at all inspiring, still felt tired, it was cloudy outside, and cold in the flat.  But as already mentioned, this “diary” is not about complaints, but about the small miracles of each and every day.  This day was great because I met a friend from Germany, whom I have not seen for about 3 years now!! (We know each other from St. Petersburg where we were exchange students at the same time.) Moreover, I met his girlfriend too, and we had an extra delicious coffee latte macchiato in Burger King! I know..not too idyllic surrounding for a meaningful talk, but the focus was on us seeing each other again! He is doing great, working of course, but living in a very cozy relationship, and it made him and me happy as well, that even after 3 years, when we meet, we do not just talk about superficial things, but we are able to go under.  He even said that talking now, feels like we just saw each other for the last time only yesterday! It is really marvelous, how you can pick up on other people’s life so quickly even after 3 years!  After the meeting I got home with lifted spirits.  Then I listened to the radio a bit, danced some..just for my own pleasure and then again was on the way towards the lovely home of my friends. 

After getting off the subway, walking towards the flat, I looked up the sky, and saw those beautiful stars shining down on the city..I love the stars, they make me so happy, I love to look for the different constellations, and it gives me peace to know, that these very stars, building up Ursa Mayor for example are with me in Budapest, but also in my village, where my parents live….they were there when I looked for them in Transylvania, and also in Prague.  I regard them as my old friends, they mean stability, and permanence in my life..things can be changing, people, situations, conflicts, good and bad moments come and go, but those stars they..they remind me of the eternity of the soul, they remind me my aim to stay patient, and strong in faith, that anything can happen, but God is there…through the changes in life He provides me the chance to grow, if I endure…if I do not fall in to the pitch of self pity and misery, if I trust Him and let Him show me the path He will bless me and provide much much more topic for this blog. Also, the stars carry a bit of magic in themselves..they have seen so many things happening on Earth, if they could tell a tale..we’d have much to listen to. Probably from different perspectives than what we know, through history…they are true diamonds of the nights, companion of the mystical moon.  They mean hope for me..I could stare them for hours without stopping. 

The next very pleasant moment got to me at my friends’ place. I could call it the happiness of Zee. She arrived after me, and was just full of energy!  She had some worries, some questions, and she almost right away received the answers for them, moreover some guidance was included! What can be even more joyful is that I can be part of her future free time activity too! It will be a kind of workshop, connected with miracles..I do not know much more about it yet, but for sure I’ll include news on it here, as the time goes on and we’ll take part in it.  Unfortunately I had to leave my friends early…there was another obligation…that is work…yup, I am on nightshift today, so I had to come to the office by 10 pm…aaaand there is 45 minutes left from this day, so looking forward attentively if another moment of joy will be fitted into that time :)
