Take care of yourself

I had escaped from a toxic environment into a peaceful nest. I opened Facebook and I saw a suggestion to take care of ourselves the same way we take care of our plants: place yourself in a healthy environment, hydrate often, remember nutrients, get plenty of sunlight, remove those who eat you alive, do what makes you bloom, be patient with yourself, good things take time.

Good idea.

Hoolitse enda eest

Olin põgenenud toksiliseks muutunud keskkonnast rahulikku pessa. Avasin telefoni Facebooki ja mulle jäi ette soovitus hoolitseda enda eest samamoodi, nagu hoolitseme oma taimede eest: paiguta end tervislikku keskkonda, niisuta sageli, ära unusta toitaineid, saa külluslikult päikesevalgust, hoia eemal need, kes Sind elusana nahka tahaksid pista, tee seda, mis paneb Sind õitsema, ole endaga kannatlik, head asjad võtavad aega.

Hea soovitus.

Don't drive faster

I was waiting for a good friend in the café to drive to south together. I ordered a coffee and started to drink it when I discovered a piece of wisdom under the cup: "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly."

Pretty good timing for this idea... especially since this friend has repeatedly saved me from difficult situations as a guardian angel.

Ära sõida kiiremini

Ootasin kohvikus head sõpra, kellega pidime Võrru sõitma. Tellisin kohvi ja hakkasin seda jooma, kui avastasin tassi alt lehekese tarkuseteraga: “Ära sõida kiiremini kui Su kaitseingel lennata suudab.”

Päris kümnesse ajastus selle mõttetera jaoks… seda enam, et see sõber on korduvalt mind kaitseinglina keerulisevõitu olukordadest päästnud

Major breakthrough

I tried an exciting new therapy and released the beliefs in my inner world about not deserving success. After that, when I opened Instagram, I was greeted by a picture from @notetostrangers with a large text: “You never know when you’ll make a major breakthrough.”

Suur läbimurre

Proovisin ühte uut põnevat teraapiat ja vabastasin oma sisemaailmas edul ees seisvaid uskumusi. Pärast seda Instagrami avades vaatas mulle sealt vastu @notestostrangers pilt suure tekstiga: “Sa ei tea iial, millal Sa teed suure läbimurde.”

Keys to happiness

My boyfriend and I went on a trip, the flight left from Riga, so we stayed at the Grand Poet by Semarah hotel one night before, which I had wanted to try for a long time. Driving through the city to the airport in the morning, I looked around with interest - there is a bridge and the advertising posters surrounding it have spoken to me many times before. 

But this time all the lampposts had keys attached to them… I tried to figure out how to interpret it. A flurry of keys, have I finally found the magic key to making all my dreams come true?

Võluvõtmekesed

Sõitsime kallimaga reisile, lend läks Riiast, nii et olime ühe öö enne Grand Poet by Semarah hotellis, mida olin ammu proovida tahtnud. Hommikul läbi linna lennujaama sõites vaatasin huviga ringi - seal on üks sild, mida palistavad reklaamplakatid on minuga varemgi rääkinud.

Seekord olid aga kõikide postide küljes võtmed… proovisin mõistatada, kuidas seda tõlgendada. Võtmesadu, olen lõpuks leidnud võluvõtmekese kõikide unistuste täitumise juurde?

Forget the phone

My friends and I were walking through a beautiful park in Malta from our way from Mdina to Rabat, when I saw a beautiful sculpture of a man and a woman kissing... and next to it a sticker on a lamppost that said: “Do more things that make you forget to check your phone.”

Best suggestion. I agree that it is much better to drink wine, dance and kiss.

Unusta telefon

Jalutasime sõpradega Maltal läbi kauni pargi Mdinast Rabati poole, kui nägin kaunist skulptuuri suudleva mehe- ja naisekujuga… ning seal kõrval postil kleepsu, mis ütles: “Tee rohkem asju, mis panevad Sind unustama oma telefoni vaadata.”

Parim soovitus. Ma olen ka seda meelt, et targem on veini juua, kuuvalgel tantsida ja suudelda.

Possibilities hide in the unknown

I was walking around with friends in Valletta, the capital of Malta, when I saw a pink A4 paper on the wall, where someone had written: "Possibility loves to hide away in the unknown. @notestostrangers"

A beautiful thought. And a wonderful account in Instagram, check it out!

Võimalused peitvad tundmatuses

Jalutasin sõpradega Malta pealinnas Vallettas, kui nägin roosat silti, kuhu keegi oli markeriga kirjutanud “Võimalusele meeldib peituda tundmatuses. @notestostrangers”

Ilus mõte. Ja äge konto Instagramis, soovitan vaadata!

Get your glow on

I tried exciting new hologram therapy and experienced the universe's subtle sense of humor, because the therapist looked like Keanu Reeves' Neo from the "Matrix" movie. The therapy style also resonated with it, and later it turned out during the conversation that the therapist’s roots are in the same village as mine... in a farm called Neo's . :)

The next day after that, the Plummé beauty oil I had ordered arrived… and when I opened the box, I was greeted with the text: “Get your glow on!”

*****

Pane end särama

Proovisin oma kunagise kolleegi toel põnevat uut hologrammiteraapiat - universumi peene huumorimeele järjekordne väljendus, sest terapeut nägi välja nagu Keanu Reevesi Neo “Matrixi” filmist ning vähe sellest, et teraapiastiil resoneerus sellega, selgus pärast vesteldes, et tema juured on minuga samas külas… Neo talus. :)

Järgmisel päeval pärast seda saabus Plummé iluõli, mille olin tellinud… ja karpi avades tervitas mind tekst: “Get your glow on!”

Praying, cooking & gardening

I was going to Malta and I came across a Facebook group where I read about the Catherine’s monastery on the island. As I had just been thinking about enjoyable small daily activities after holidays and in addition to cooking I had been supporting my friend by phone, the following quote inspired me a lot: “Nuns' daily life revolved around praying, cooking, gardening and cleaning. Living in extremely ascetic conditions. Even today, the monastery is active, although there are only around ten nuns and they are all elderly. The head of the monastery, Sister Michelina is a friendly woman of about 80 who can neither read nor write, but has dedicated her life to helping people. She talks about how a large part of her day is spent on the phone supporting people. Sister Michelina patiently and compassionately listens to the concerns of those in need and gives them advice on how to proceed.”

In Malta, I also came across the St. Catherine's church there and felt the joy of recognition, as always.

Palvetamine, toiduvalmistamine & aiatööd

Olin Maltale minemas ning sattusin ühte sellega seotud FB gruppi, kust lugesin saarel asuvast Katariina kloostrist. Kuna ma olin just mõtisklenud pärast pühi nauditavatest väikestest igapäevastest tegevustest ning kokkamise kõrvalt reisil olnud sõbrannale telefonitsi toeks olnud, inspireeris järgnev tsitaat mind väga; “Nunnade igapäevane elu keerles palvetamise, toiduvalmistamise, aiatööde ja koristamise ümber. Elati äärmiselt askeetlikes tingimustes. Ka täna on klooster tegev, kuigi nunnasid on ainult kümne ümber ning nad on köik eakad. Kloostriülem õde Michelina on sõbralik umbes 80-aastane naine, kes ei oska küll ei lugeda ega kirjutada, kuid on oma elu pühendanud inimeste aitamisele. Ta räägib, kuidas suur osa tema päevast möödub telefoni otsas inimesi nöustades. Õde Michelina kuulab abivajajate muresid kannatlikult ning kaastundlikult ning annab neile nõu, kuidas edasi minna.”

Sattusin Maltal ka sealsesse Katariina kirikusse ja tundsin äratundmisrõõmu, nagu ikka.
