Here is my positive story from today:
Here is my positive story from today:
There
was a blizzard outside. It was freezing cold. I just came back
home. The roads were basically impassable. There were snowdrifts which in places reached 2
meters. I was soaking wet. No
electricity, no heating, no running water. Everything at home had been frozen.
The thermometer was showing -8℃. I tried to light the fire in the fireplace.
After some attempts, the fire finally started to burn. Thanks, God! I was looking at it and thinking
– No matter your circumstances, you have to
survive and not only survive but thrive.
My
mobile rang. It was my brother. I assured him that everything was okay.
I’m trying to be the sunshine in the cold
winter day and encourage everyone around me.

I lolled back in my chair by the fire and
started to write in my diary: Beauty Witness exercise by Brendon Burchard.
1. What
beautiful thing have I seen today?
2. What beautiful thing have I heard today?
3. What beautiful thing have I said today?
2. What beautiful thing have I heard today?
3. What beautiful thing have I said today?
I do
that exercise every evening. But what am I supposed to write today?
It is
so difficult. But you know, in everything bad, there is something good and when
you look for it, you will find it.
So I started to dig deeper and deeper. As I was contemplating near the fire, I heard a
strange noise outside. I went to the window to see what is happening and I gasped in disbelief. The ground was
covered in snow magic. The surface of the snow was shimmering. I felt as if fireflies were dancing in the snow. It was so beautiful.
I
came back to the fire and opened my favorite book of poems by arch. Seraphim. I
felt inspired to translate one of his poems and here we go :-)
Winter by arch. Seraphim (translated by Dimita)
After
midnight snow
the
world has no shore
Flies
mist
with
light wings
What beauty
spread in the world
And
feels the heart
that
in the sky
above
beautiful vault of heaven
the
Creator is alive
Field
is sleepy
Infinite the sky
Pines, oak tree
in
diamonds shine
:-)
I sat
by the piano and played a melody to those words. Then I tried to find the right
chords…
Suddenly, while I was busy with playing and singing, I heard
someone’s voice.
– Sweetheart, it’s me! How are you, treasure? I love you.
I turned out and found myself looking at the beautiful eyes of my
boyfriend.
I was thinking that I was
dreaming.
– Wow, what are you doing here? You are
supposed to be at work.
– Right, but I was worried about you and
I’ve decided to come to give you a hug.
– How did you fly through all of this
snow? The roads are impassable.
– Yes, but they have been cleaned now.
It’s 6 am in the morning.
– Wow, really?
I couldn’t believe it.
– I was so absorbed with
music...
– I see. I’m looking forward to listening
to the beauty which you have created - said my boyfriend and hugged me.
I felt embraced with
all the love in the world at that moment.
So that was how my magical evening unfolded and my Beauty Witness journal
filled in :-)
