I have never been really into posting in social media, but now I have no choice because it's one of the volunteer's tasks.
Today it was raining. I went out to walk and it was pretty nice.
A clip the other volunteer made of me. Others have the same layout clips with their faces.
Call me lunatic, but I am getting daily messages from the Universe.
Today's message was:
Sometimes, Kristi, when a tiny series of the most unpredictable events occur that otherwise make no sense at all… it's just my way of winking and hinting that something big is about to happen.
Hibiscus,
The Universe
In the past, I have randomly found playing cards. I google what they mean and I get my message.
Today I was going to the grocery store and I found this card laying on the ground.
Google says:
The ace of diamonds evokes everything related to the material world. In cartomancy, this card is the strongest diamond card and embodies all of its attributes. This card is a good omen and brings personal enrichment, social success or financial income.
I'm getting rich by volunteering? Interesting.
Today our day started with self reflection task. First we filled a google form about our weekends. There were questions about what we did this weekend, how we felt and did we discover something new about ourselves. For me it was easy, because I already blogged about it.
Second task was written like this:
Think of a challenging situation you are facing regularly (in work or private life). What is the reason for it? Write your explanation down on a piece of paper and then “let it go” … Burn it or bury it or make a paper plane out of it.
Next thing was about this month, March. We had to answer following questions:
What do I want to achieve at the end of this month?
What would I like to focus on in this month?
When and where do I want to learn?
The last thing:
Find a word to describe how you see yourself during the month of March.
Describe what kind of volunteer and person you want to be.
1. I like how locals dry their laundry outside, between the streets, balconies. Sometimes, when it's windy, I admire how their clothespins hold their clothes - I wish one day I had relationship this strong. I also love how the streets smell like Lenor Scent-Sational.
2. There's trash everywhere. First I thought I am just spoiled with Estonia's clean streets. After a while I realized that of course there is trash everywhere, because there is no public trashcans! I was holding an empty sandwich package in my hand for at least half an hour before I quit looking for a trash can. UPDATE I found 3 public trashcans today. But they were full and trash was still everywhere.
3. I still can't understand why are there fences everywhere. Basically everything is hemmed with a fence! Some of them are so old they barely do their job, while others are made of thick metal.
4. Traffic sign "no honking". That's the joke of the year. Everybody honks, all the time. First I thought I was walking in wrong place or doing something wrong, but then I realized - they just honk because they are happy, because they say hello to somebody, maybe because it's thursday...
It's a stolen recipe, but it's something I crave from time to time. It's sour, it's sweet, it's light and it's nutritious. Basil and lemon make this the best tuna fish pasta ever. I think italians would put me in jail if they'd see how I disrespect pasta. Buon appetito!
