I Won The Battle!!!

What battle, you ask?

Nothing too big. It's just that there are people coming to the library regularly to deliver stuff. One of them has never shown a smile on his face. His face doesn't look scary, but it's kinda melancholic/serious. I've been smiling at him while saying "good morning" and "thank you", but I haven't been able to see even a hint of a smile...

UNTIL TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I can say that he's shown me a smile TWICE HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

The other day I must admit that I almost "lost the battle" by thinking that I should just give up and that I wouldn't be able to make him smile at all...but I'm GLAD I didn't give up HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...

It feels GREAT to see people smiling at me. Today all my colleagues were happy to know that I could continue the training there for another 3 months HE HE HE HE...I've submitted the new training application to the unemployment office and I've received email from the Finnish teacher that I can join the classes, so I'm gonna start only on March 10th since next week is the school's skiing holiday he he he...

So here are my BEAUTIFUL things today!!! :-D Oh, and of course I also bought some fresh plums today, so I'm gonna grab one soon HO HO HO HO HO...

Creative Blogger Award

I'm VERY honoured to accept this award from Michelle from Crow's Feet. *bowing*


Since she chose me because of my 3BT posts, I want to give this award to the rightful owner of the original 3BT concept, Clare at Three Beautiful Things. Her original 3BT concept has made such a HUGE difference in my life. I find that it's easier to be thankful each day by spending a bit time to think of all the beautiful things in my life that day. I SALUTE Clare especially since she writes 3BT every single day and also since her 3BT concept has inspired SO MANY other bloggers out there.

The second person I want to give this award to is Dave Ettridge at Portraits and Landscapes. I've never been much of a painter, but I like his blog. I like the way he describes his paintings. He opens up the world of art in a fresh way for me.

The third person of my choice is Mauro C. at 1 Million Love Messages. I TRULY love his idea of gathering 1 million love messages at his website. SALUTE to you, Mauro!!!

The fourth person is Shinade at The Painted Veil. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE her AWESOME images plus poetry/quotes. Her quotes are thoughtful, refreshing, and reminding me to live simply.

The fifth person is The Crafty Girl for her beautiful photography, art, quotations.
