Asian Elephant. Females together with the young form a group, whereas males stay aside. Females give birth every three of four years. An elephant baby weighs 100 kilos when it is born. Elephants grow rapidly for the first 15 years and then this process goes slowly but continues for the rest of their lives. Did you know? It is considered that a man first tamed an Asian elephant about 5000 years ago.

My Wednesday lunch Hello my read friends, how are you? What did you have for lunch today? On Wednesdays, I usually like to prepare a good lunch. Usually, Sunday is reserved for a good lunch but I think it is much better to eat well on Wednesday because it is the middle of the week and we need more strength and energy until the weekend. I like to prepare a colorful lunch, rich in vegetables. Vegetables are healthy for children, but we are also someone's children 😊, so we need…

Put in I could choose another topic for today's article. Something more inspiring. But my brain is blocked. It recognizes only two words and it is one. But I have to split it in two. If I said those two words as one, I might be overwhelmed with worry again. A worry and a lot of questions, like... *What else can I do before a nuclear disaster?* *Can anyone stop all this?* *How far does human power go?* *Did anyone take us back to World War II? I recognize some characters.*…

Slow-motion on Lake Ohrid Sometimes in life, we really need to stop once in a while or at least slow down. We move too fast towards our goals, and then when we achieve them, we quickly set new ones in an effort not to lose any moment of time we have. I would never have discovered the beauty of Lake Ohrid if I had not had to take a break on the way to the Greek coast. But it turned out to be a good idea that I decided to take a break in the rush to Greece because if I…

Let's roll sweet and salty rolls, for dinner or breakfast, whenever you want. Two pleasures at once. It was always difficult for me to decide whether to make salty or sweet rolls. That's why I make both types at the same time, from the same dough. It is very practical, your effort will be less and your satisfaction will be doubled. Here is the recipe... https://ecency.com/hive-120586/@jelenaa/lets-roll-sweet-and-salty-rolls

In a Healthy Body This evening will be chosen a song/singer that will represent Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest. I have my favorite and let me introduce her to you. I am voting for her because I respect her as an artist. And her song is weird to many people and fantastic to me. So original and cool. https://youtu.be/wLAYRJv6nQc The lyrics of this song are very specific. At the beginning of the song, she asks a question: "What is the secret behind Meghan Markle's…

Meticulous, perfectionist or insane Today I would like to share with you the situation from my home. If you think you know what it means to be meticulous, I assure you you don't, because you haven't met my husband. In fact, I am in a dilemma as to whether he is meticulous, a perfectionist, or perhaps insane. 😊 He cut a piece of bread for dinner at a right angle. I don't know how you call the end slice of bread but that slice is his favorite and since each bread has two end…

The first touch of sand When you touch something for the first time, it has to be an amazing and unique sensation. Soft, sharp, hot, cold, sticky, hard... It is truly amazing how much sensation a person feels by touch. Touch connects us, makes us alive. When my son touched the sand for the first time, he was confused, scared, he was trying to clean it from his hands and feet, he was resisting. People often resist everything that is new and unknown. They are restrained. For…

My daughter Ana's first birthday International Women's Day, March 8, in addition to its historical significance, is important to me for one reason. On that date, a year ago, my daughter was born. I got the most beautiful flower a woman can get. I got Ana, a wonderful little girl. As I wrote in previous articles, before she was born, I was admitted to the hospital due to the stress caused by the sudden death of my father. The doctors agreed to perform a Caesarean section on…

This is me. My son drew me. It is his greeeting card for me and his way to wish me a happy March 8th. It is really interesting how the children see us. 🤣

The power of low expectations It is well known that the greatest desire of everyone is to find happiness. Sometimes we get lost in that desire but so lost we still want to be happy. If we are sad, we immediately strive to change that fact, to direct ourselves in the direction that leads to happiness. Like robots that are programmed not to suffer grief for long. All people seek happiness with more or less strength. If happiness is not connected with people we love and who…

Low expectations have great power to make our lives happier. Low expectations can be our best friend. Striving for balance will lead us to a humble life in which the most important thing is to have inner peace and love. Success will come sooner or later depending on our efforts. If high expectations lead to disappointment, let's try to lower them. https://read.cash/@Jelena/the-power-of-low-expectations-ad1d2f45

The symbol of peace in my city is the monument "The Victor", located in the Kalemegdan fortress, a popular attraction of historical significance. As you can see in the pictures it is a strong male figure in the nude with a falcon in the left hand and a sword in the right. The sword is lowered and it symbolizes peace. And the falcon symbolizes freedom. Peace and freedom are mutually conditioned. Let's hope for peace.…

A drunken night in Italy Hello read friends, how are you? I have noticed some drunken stories these days and discovered that the idea came from our creative @meitanteikudo . I must say I am not a fan of alcohol but the topic is so good that I have to join! 😀 So let's start. When was the first time you got drunk? That was 15 years ago. High school. We were on an excursion to Italy. We had a foam party in a small Italian town Lido di Jesolo. I had a boyfriend but I was in love…

How much is being attractive worth? It is an indisputable fact that aesthetics has always been important to people. Guided by the thought that it is all about looks, we buy various cosmetic products, care for skin, hair, nails, teeth, strive for looking young and attractive. As an intelligent race, we don’t consider the assumption "it is all about looks" correct but we often act as if it is. Being attractive doesn't mean being beautiful Some beautiful people do not attract…

There are a lot of painted walls in my neighborhood and that makes our environment happier and more beautiful. Street art always catches my attention. It's nice to live in creative environment.

When the sun wakes you up on Saturday morning, you can’t stay home. So I decided to go to the market early to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. There are a lot of markets, but I have a favorite, which is located in Zemun, the old part of my city, by the Danube river. I love the market by the river because I can always buy fresh fish there and that place has a special charm that makes me feel relaxed. https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@jelenaa/weekend-visit-to-the-local-market

When we lose parents, we get to know ourselves It's been a year since I lost my father. It’s been a year since I met myself. In life we often do not have many opportunities to face ourselves. We often live by performing tasks, fulfilling obligations, wishes, achieving goals. We have no time or need to dedicate ourselves to getting to know ourselves deeply. And then something happens that makes you face yourself for the first time after years of living in ignorance.…

When we lose our parents, responsibility knocks on our door even though we believed it has always been there. Now it comes with its complete equipment to lead us to a life where we choose our own path. As long as we have parents, the world is still beautiful around us no matter what happens. Enjoy it. If you have already lost your parents, get to know yourself better because you are the only one who can help yourself cope with life's difficult challenges.…

Truths that may be lies There are "truths" that are passed down from generation to generation. We believe in them because they fit into the model of polite and appropriate behavior or they are so common that we adopt them by default. We never ask ourselves whether these claims are true and we believe in them without questions or doubts. I was watching a girl in the park. She was holding her favorite doll. The doll was nicely dressed, neatly combed and the girl could be seen…

Yesterday I was preparing an imaginative lunch. I say imaginative because I came up with the recipe during the preparation. I put in a lot of ingredients. My dish could at first glance be called “too much” or “an attempt of Asian food”. But only at first glance. 🙂 The ingredients were perfectly combined and together they gave full taste.

White, cold, sweet, perfect Ever since I started reading the articles of our dear @CoquiCoin, I have been fascinated by a Venezuelan drink called cocada. I didn’t have the patience to wait to try it in Venezuela because I don’t know when I will be able to go there so I decided to make it. I asked her for the recipe and she told me that I need coconut, milk, condensed milk, and ice. **My first coconut experience** I bought a coconut, for the first time in my life. First, I…

From my war diary March 1999 *"Here again. Six floors underground. And upstairs, outside, the night is quiet. Like yesterday. Like March 24 when it all started. It is quiet until we hear that sound again. A warning war siren and then the silence... Scary silence. Sounds of airplanes flying. Why is the sky so scary? Why are they doing this? We are afraid of the sky. The news says that an operation called "Noble Anvil" or "Merciful Angel" is being performed in the sky. They…

Anti-stress food Strange stomach pain... Breathing with barriers... Irritability... **Stress** Stress as a psychological phenomenon that affects our physical health is an inevitable part of our lives. It is always present, like a burden we carry on our backs.

Stress as a psychological phenomenon that affects our physical health is an inevitable part of our lives. Although it sometimes has positive effects, in order not to become chronic and seriously affect us, we must release it from time to time. It is not easy but there is something we can do and it doesn't require too much effort. Many foods are recommended to relieve stress, but here are the ones I tried and am convinced of their effect so I will be happy to share with you…

Are you sitting in silence? The sound of the bus engine, the crumpling of the chocolate wrapper, the screaming of a child, the monotonous sound of a speech machine, conversations, different voices, background music from the driver's cab, the sound of a siren... Noise. When I got off the bus, I heard the noise again, voices, music from local cafes, people moving and meeting. And there in the distance, two people were arguing while one lady was pulling a chair towards herself…
