lightning storm.

That's what I love about summer in Russia. And that is what reminds me that it's necessary to find something good in every thing or situation, and there IS something good... So I like to sit on my windowsill when is storms and take photos of lightnings. The place is just right and the view is great... It will be sad to leave this place...

I reminisce...

strange, but this was the song I listened to when I was saying goodbye to the sea...

for me.

- make lists
- follow plans
- remember to be thankful
- don't get upset or annoyed with things that don't concern you
- don't hurry to get upset and annoyed
- breathe
- better keep silent
- love yourself
- don't give too much time to people that don't value it
- think positive
- focus on the good
- remind yourself of things you love
- good things stick to positivism

home.

Happy to see my parents, to be with my cat. She was surprised, I think she didn't expect to see me, she was sort of in shock. It's as if she recognized my smell, but couldn't believe that it's me. Now it's better.
Celebrated my father's birthday on the road. I can imagine he wasn't very pleased.
Met a school mate, had a nice conversation, he's a nice guy. He invited me to his rehearsal. was really surprised to hear my boyfriend never did.
Now I'm home. Trying to tidy up my room but feeling so tired and lazy all the time. I felt so good in Israel. Now I think I have to work hard to keep calm, to not notice the unpleasant people... sometimes it's so hard... May be I'll read the books my aunt suggested. Some self help stuff, I'm always a bit skeptical, but may be that's just what I need...

Think positive. Be thankful for the good things you have. Love the people who love you. Loving caring family. Nice pretty cuddly pet. interesting books. music. Think happy.
