Jan 7, 2010 - A Journey!

Hurrah!

Today, I'm going to Smolensk to visit my friends!

Jan 6, 2010 - Merry Christmas!

Tonight is the day when we remember the birth of Christ.

His birth changed the world. Thousands of years before people weren't able to be saved, and didn't know what real love is. After Him the people are able to become aware of it. This is the real happiness that we live after His birth!

Jan 5, 2010 - Happiness is...

Today, I've found a very wise phrase said by Andrew Makarevich.

"Happiness is what can't be planned"

(From his book "Сам овца" published 2005).

Jan 4, 2010 - Ice!

As I decided to contact as less people as possible this vacation, I started figuring out what could I do today, so, it would be happy. I suddenly I realized that I haven’t yet got a walk across the lake this winter. I took Bonya with me, and hurried to correct the mistake. Having almost reached one of the islands I understood that Bonya is cold, and can’t go further anymore. Unfortunately, I had to turn back. But it doesn’t mean that I won’t cross the Sapsho this year. I planned to photograph all the islands. They are very beautiful in winter. And today, I’ve got some other photos which I post here:

Did you watch a High School Musical?

I watched all three parts and I liked them!

Today, I found a cool video of so called High School Musical 4.

Enjoy watching!

Jan 2, 2010 - Friends

Good friends...
It is so important to have them.
And I feel very happy that there are a lot of them in my life.
I've got a message from one of them - Vitaly. He wished me a happy new year, and gave me very important advise. I've never got the kind of letters...
It is right to time, to my feelings, and there are no wasting words in it.
Thank him very much!
I wish you all to have such friends, who care about you when you're happy or not, when you have problems or don't. And don't forget to pay them the same good coin.

P.S. That's him this summer having a rest at mine. The view of Lake Sapsho.

Jan 1, 2010 - Happy New Effort!

Happy New Year!

Tonight, I went to bed not late, and decided to awake at 7 a.m. and start the day with morning exercises and skiing. And I did it!

The third decade of December was connected with my sport efforts. But that was not regular. Now, I want to limit myself more strictly. I am going to wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning every day, and go to bed between 10:30 and 11:00 in the evening.

This morning, I'd started doing my morning exercises three times before I finally was able to do them. The body is yet not completely awoke when you are washing yourself, make the bed, and so on. Therefore, you shouldn't start doing it right after awakening. Wait a bit. But for that you need to wake up at least a half an hour earlier than you are used to.

After that I had my breakfast, surfed a bit on the internet, and then skied. It's such a great pleasure to ski in the morning! I wish you all to feel it!
