Easter holidays 2025

  This Easter I had so much fun with my little boy. We have a tradition in my country to paint boiled eggs in different colors. I don’t go into the religious aspect, I like to focus on the fun part. So we paint them in whatever color we want (just the first one should be red), we can draw them, put stickers and so on. I enjoy it very much. My son is old enough to help me paint the eggs this year and I bought different paints and stickers. He was so excited, smiling and wanting to participate in everything. I thought he will make a huge mess and I have to clean like crazy after that, but he was very gentle and careful. The tradition says we can paint them on Thursday or Saturday. My boy and I did it on Thursday and on Saturday; he went to paint eggs with his grandmother at her home. On the next day – Sunday we smash the eggs - it is like a competition. It is a “fight” between the members of the family. Each of us choses an egg and we go against each other, smashing tops and tails of...

My new passion – piano

 




I have always loved to listen to music, sing (as much as I can) and dance. I wanted to dance professionally but my parents had other plans so I trained martial arts. I used to sing at school in the choir. It was a lovely experience and I enjoyed it very much.

Another desire of mine was to know how to play an instrument. My first love was the guitar. I bought my first one when I was 15 years old. I struggled twice to learn to play it without any success. I was not serious enough.

When we came to live in the village, I was looking for something appropriate for my boy to go to in the close town. He was almost 2 years old when we started visiting a music teacher. They were playing with different instruments and he quite enjoyed it. Suddenly, he started to be very distracted and I decided to stop him from going. My idea was he to go to piano lessons in the future.

Best thing I did for myself in years – I decided to start piano lessons. I did not know anything about it. I did not know if I would enjoy it but I desperately needed to do something, to learn something, to have my own thing, a hobby were I could be me and express what I feel inside.

Few months later, I absolutely love it! Slowly, I am learning, still just in the begging, but I am so grateful that I let myself try it and pushed away all the OCD thoughts. My teacher is amazing; we have so much in common! We both love reading and we started to play board games and do puzzles together.

Currently, I am learning the moonlight sonata. I found that it focusses me, my mind goes blank and clear, I feel so calm, everything around me disappears. I guess it is a new tool to relieve stress and would be helpful when I have OCD thoughts.
