It's so cold out there

According to any calendar, autumn has just started, but I still feel like the weather doesn’t really understand what it should be like. In my opinion, it is behaving in a very special way, not really normal one. I think this season of the year should be a colourful, slow and smooth transformation into winter. Every day we have to leave our cozy beds and go out. However, instead of being amazed by the (still) warmth afternoons and stunning colours of the trees, there is nothing pleasant waiting for us outside – only some freezing mornings, heavy rain and horrible wind. I think this year winter is playing tricks on us. It is going to come sooner.

Why don’t you have a rest?

source: forsal.pl Nowadays people are living so fast. Every morning you can see them almost running to get to work, pupils with big school bags walking fast because they’ve overslept, old ladies going to the market in order to be the first in buying the best groceries and cars passing by with an incredible speed. What makes all of them losing their heads? Well, the answer is pretty simple: money and obligations. All the society is used to this type of life and I’m afraid sometimes we don’t have any other option. I’m one of these “running people”. I always walk hurriedly and have a lot of things to do in my tense schedule. It’s very annoying when someone is walking slowly in front of me and I can’t get ahead. In such situations I have an impression that this person is stealing my valuable time. Of course it’s not true, but when you have a hundred things to do, every minute is priceless. However, every day I try to find a moment only for myself and I think all of us should t...

Let it snow!

I’m somewhere in the middle of this battle. To me, snow is a nice thing in December, with all those lights, Christmas Trees and other adornments. It looks really magic when combined together. I love these lazy evenings with my decorative candles lighting in the room, a good film and snow outside. Nothing better than moments like this, with a warm blanket, of course! However, if the snow falls in April when it’s absolutely not supposed to, I rather hate it. Moreover, I’m cold almost every day so winter is especially tricky to me as I try to stay warm at home or during classes and snow doesn’t help at all. I hope it will fall at Christmas Eve, though, which isn't now as obvious in Poland as it used to be :)

Coming home!

This year All Saints’ Day is Thursday, so we’re going to have a good deal of free days. Since the day I moved to Poznan I didn’t have many opportunities to go back home in order to celebrate this holiday because the no-classes days were mixed with “normal” ones really inconveniently. However, this November I’m looking forward to going back to Radom, where my family lives. We will be visiting both of my grandparents, cousins, spending time together and of course lighting candles on the graves of the members of our family who passed away. Priests always say that the 1 st November is a very happy holiday because we celebrate the memory of all saints – people who are living peacefully in Heaven. If the atmosphere of these days still seems to you more depressing than cheerful, don’t hesitate to visit the cemetery after sunset, when it’s already dark outside. I love the view of hundreds of lighted candles, it’s so beautiful! I’m sure you’ll be amazed as well.

Almost perfect
