A day to feel blessed..

My desk

I’m feeling blessed for living another wonderful day on this beautiful Earth. And so I did yesterday. For those of you who haven’t seen my Facebook page or my tweets, I have to make a very important announcement: “Four Doors and Other Stories” Romanian paperback edition is finally out and will hit the stores soon. Yesterday morning, I got my first three copies. I felt happy and excited and responsible and cried a little with joy.

Today, I wrote the first two dedications in my life: one, to my mother, the other one to a Romanian journalist and writer whom I deeply appreciate and admire.

I also took some time for myself and meditate. As you are aware, today, the 21st of June, is the summer solstice. And you may want to feel the wonderful vibes in the air, sent by the Universe, think about your deepest wishes and reaffirm them, let them flow free in the sky, as if they were  Chinese lanterns, and have faith they will be heard and fulfilled. Be grateful for being here, living in the new millennium. Or anything else you value in your life.

As crazy as it may sound, today I’m feeling grateful to my…desk. It’s an old, oak desk, I’ve been using since I was eight years old. It watched me learning  to write, composing my first poems and my first novel, put down notes in my diary and write love letters. It witnessed the birth of “Four Doors and Other Stories”. I touched it, being perfectly aware of my gestures, and felt grateful to tree that became my desk and to the skilled human hands that turned the fallen trunk into such a fine piece of furniture.

Hope you are feeling as blessed as I, not only today but every day of your life.
