this made my day :)

It is a rare occasion when I get a card from Russia.

Наташа, спасибо тебе большое пребольшое :) ;)

freezing rain

My poor little car did not appreciate it.

one more winter, one more snow

We had first snow today.

I feel the most comfortable wearing something like this. It does seem that woman who approaches 50 should wear something more age appropriate… What would it be though?..

strategic fashion

Wearing red gloves is the best way to detract attention from the red nose ;)

Brian and I started 7 days class today. Spending 8 hours every day listening and practising trading online is going to be very intence.

thanks to the internet

Finally, my sister connected with me through the internet from the other side of the world.

looking for my inner-self

Felling slightly disconnected, I am paving my way back to myself. It’s not easy, but the journey itself makes me happy. Life likes to make fun of us, challenging our ambitions and beliefs. I am working with two physical therapists whose method I questioned a year ago as non-scientific, and now I feel that this is exactly the type of treatment I needed. Body-mind connection seems to be the most logical healing for overworked and overstressed person like me.

When you know how you do what you do, then you can do what you want

he is a new president, not a messiah

This was repeatedly said in the news during inauguration day. But the day was so beautiful, and the new emperor president smile was dazzling and promising anything we wished for, that we all wanted to believe that he is… ;-)

it’s all about what we grow up with

Recently I spent some time on youtube finding lots of ‘goodoldtime’ music. This was one of my first songs I remember (she sings: I am walking and singing and there is no one in the world happier that I am). Эдита Пьеха was my role model, I even tried to imitate her voice when I was 5. Growing up with that much of optimism made a permanently happy person ;)

The most effective background dancing!
