An embarrassing revelation of my lie Do you lie sometimes? Just a little? 😊 Always telling the truth is a difficult challenge. I’m an honest person and I don’t like to lie but sometimes it just happens spontaneously. When it comes to my lying, these are small innocent white lies that I am not even aware of when I say them, but they help me in some situations. For example, when my husband asks me how much I paid for the dress, I will always reduce the price a bit although I…

My real-life hero Hello read friends, how are you? My day started with an inspirational topic for a contest in the Hive community. The topic was: **Do you have a real-life hero?** **If so, who would that be and why?** I have my real-life hero and that is my son. He often says that his real name is Bruce Wayne but that he sometimes becomes Batman. His power is so great that I feel very strong next to him. A happy life requires laughter and he makes me laugh many times during…

A happy life requires laughter and he makes me laugh many times during the day. When I'm sad, he always finds the right way to cheer me up. 😊 https://read.cash/@Jelena/my-real-life-hero-1bc137cd

Accidental good time This morning I accidentally 🙂 saw the weekend post topic **„accidental good time“** in the Hive community and I joined the challenge. I remembered one weekend when I had an unexpectedly good time. It was a weekend with a small amount of money to spend. We decided to visit a Sremska Mitrovica town that is not far from our city and does not require a lot of spending money. When we chose this small town located on the banks of the Sava River, the main…

She said "mama" Mama! Mama! Mama! Today, April 4, my daughter called me "mama" for the first time. When you are someone’s first spoken word, it can't be compared to anything. It is a word that is worth more than a million other words you hear throughout your life because it is said at a time when your child lives in a world that is still beautiful. An unexplored expanse waiting to be explored. At a time when life is easy and there are no difficulties that we face as adults.…

I am ready to succeed When I look around, I see the flowers that have already begun to bloom. Nature is waking up and the colors of happiness paint the world. Dandelions and daisies are ready to make the environment beautiful. They look fresh and cheerful, open to the sun, they stand proudly even when people trample them. How many there are... They look like people in a crowd, looking at each other or avoiding turning to the side where someone will block the sun. They need…

Every time we find a moment to talk to ourselves, we will become more ready to succeed if we don't let negative thoughts reduce our motivation. So tell yourself: "You are all my strength. I choose you to help me because I know that I can rely on you. You have words of praise for me, even when I am wrong. Because I am not wrong, I am just learning. I have a love for you. We will solve everything together." https://read.cash/@Jelena/i-am-ready-to-succeed-c6a8d3bf

Intuition - my deepest secret Do you have a deep secret that you keep to yourself and never talk about? I have always been afraid to talk to someone about my intuition. It is my deepest secret. When we say something out loud it gets more serious and I don’t want to attach much importance to it because I could become overwhelmed. So I decided to write about it here, to share my secret with you, an open mind people of the read.cash community. I am a person with a very strong…

Friday time Waiting, wanting, counting, planning... Until the end of working hours. Friday. The day when the hours pass the slowest. You are trying to give meaning to what you are doing to speed up the time and Friday is holding the hands of the clock firmly and not letting them move. You spend half the day thinking about the weekend and eagerly awaiting it. And Friday is trying to keep you waiting as long as possible so that you can come up with the best plan for the…

Illusions Last weekend, my son insisted that I take him to the Museum of Illusions. I had a headache and I was not in the mood to go there, but he convinced me that all illusions will stop my headaches. Maybe sometimes we have a headache because of our illusions. We imagine something that is not so and we have a headache. And then we realize that it was just an illusion and the headache stops. When I entered the room with the mirrored walls, at first I was afraid that I…

What does vacation mean to you? I spent the whole of yesterday and today looking for offers for summer vacation. The problem is that the offers have become more expensive and my salary has remained the same. 😊 When looking for the perfect vacation destination, it is very difficult to make a decision that will be in line with what you want and what you have. What do I have? I have at my disposal about 1000-1500 dollars (not in cash but a plan for repayment in installments). I…

Today was a sunny Wednesday. Ideal for walking. When I went outside, the flowering trees cheered me up. A floral environment motivates me to think about life in a positive way.

Sweeten up your day! If you feel tired, sad, or in a bad mood. If you are bored. If you are nervous. If you are happy. If you think there is nothing that will improve your mood. Or what would make your happiness even bigger, sweeten up your day! Make a cake that will refresh you and give you sweet pleasure at the same time. And we need sweet pleasures from time to time if we want our life to be sweet as well. One of last week's blog prompts in the Hive community was “sweet…

Sometimes in life, we need to stop once in a while or at least slow down. 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 hadn't stopped, I would never have experienced the slow-motion as in the movie, the unique silence, and the unforgettable touch of nature.…

Before clicking "publish" What do you do before you click "publish"? Do you read what you have written many times? Or just once? Are you making changes? Are you nervous? Publishing an article is an exciting moment. You have written something and you do not know if others will like it if they will read it and if they will be interested in reading your articles next time. As we write, we get rid of our thoughts. We transfer them by typing letters on the keyboard. We are…

Last weekend I visited the Public Aquarium and Tropicarium in Belgrade. I touched the lizard for the first time. A man who works there suggested taking out one large lizard and assured me that it was completely peaceful and harmless. I had to agree. My son wanted that. Sometimes we overcome our fears because of children. 😊

What do you see? Blue lines in the picture below are the same length and one seems to be shorter than the other. It was hard for me to believe that but they really are the same length. 😊

The first touch of lizard Something left a strong impression on me last weekend and I'm still impressed. That's why I'm writing about it today. I visited the Public Aquarium and Tropicarium in Belgrade with my son and I touched the lizard for the first time. We had a great time at the Aquarium. Fish in various colors have a calming effect when you observe them. There were also various species of turtles and snakes, from different and distant parts of the world. I was not…

When I traveled back home to Belgrade, I stopped in Cacak, a city in central Serbia, to have lunch, as this city is known for its good restaurants. I ate veal soup which was very tasty. In my country, soups are very often eaten.

When I face my face It's been a while since I have faced my face. I usually pass by the mirror looking the other way. If I stop, I am afraid that I won't like what I see. My face has changed. It has lost color. My eyes are tired. And smile lines on my cheeks that made me look beautiful when I laughed left only a trace to remind me that they used to be there. The losses we experience change our faces. The eyes turn red from crying, and when the redness disappears, they remain…

This is the monument to Vuk Karadzic, Serbian philologist, linguist, anthropologist, and the most important reformer of the modern Serbian language. Vuk Karadzic is the most important historical figure in Serbia. We love him because he invented the rule - one letter per sound, so the Serbian alphabet is very consistent and precise. The principle is: "Write as you speak and read as it is written". So if you start learning Serbian, reading will be very easy thanks to Vuk. 😊

Sudden earthquake An hour ago I was sitting on the bed and watching TV. Suddenly the bed began to shake. I thought I was not feeling well and that something was wrong with me so I got up to drink water. And then I felt the ground beneath my feet tremble. I live on the third floor and I had the impression that the whole building was shaking. Then I went back to bed. I looked at the pendant lamp hanging from the ceiling. It was rocking. I waited for it to pass. I checked the…

My natural Easter eggs This is a holiday weekend in my country. We celebrate Easter tomorrow. Every year for Easter I paint eggs in different colors, but this year I decided to turn to nature and do something different. From childhood until today, the most delicious Easter eggs for me have always been eggs painted in onion skins. They have a special taste, although they do not look very attractive. I went out with my son to pick some flowers and leaves to decorate the eggs.…

She is the one who still makes me feel like a child Although it seems to me that everything was lost and ruined the moment I lost my father, I often forget to appreciate the fact that she is still alive. My mother. Because of her, I have the privilege of being a child. If I don't wear warm clothes and it's cold outside, she carefully reminds me that I can catch a cold. If something hurts me, she worries and pushes me to go to the doctor. She knows when I'm sad. She knows…

Straw Easter Day Yesterday we celebrated Easter in my country. Painted eggs, lots of joy, children's smiles, family time, and straw. That is how I would describe this holiday in a few words. When we woke up, we wished each other a happy Easter and traditionally cracked eggs. My son enjoyed it and wanted to crack all the eggs right away but then he realized he had to eat every egg he cracked so he stopped. 😊 After breakfast, we went to the Temple of Saint Sava. We are not…

For the weekend, I went to the temple of St. Sava with my family for Easter. We are not very religious but we respect and celebrate the holidays. There was a lot of straw in front of the temple. The children were rolling, throwing straws at each other. My son and I had a great time there. 😊

Three random nouns Have you ever tried to write inspired by randomly chosen words? Some sites generate words that way. It can be fun because you never know what words will be generated. I took three nouns today. I clicked a button and hoped the nouns will make me think of something. 😊 It turned out that these random nouns inspired me to write a short, true story about myself even though at first glance it seemed to me that my mind could not connect them. So, let's start.…

Have we become oversensitive? Sometimes I feel that people around me feel too much. They feel every word, look, and reaction. It often happens that they feel wrong, guided by their subjective beliefs. There is a lot of prejudice, identification with situations that have already happened, and skepticism about something different. I feel they are fragile and easily become hurt and insulted. But I don't want to insult or hurt anyone. I just want to be free to say whatever I…

When I was walking with my son, he insisted that we enter the gallery where handicrafts from Russia were exhibited because he is fascinated by "babushka", a Russian wooden doll. Babushka or Matryoshka doll is very interesting because it unfolds and each larger one contains a smaller one. My son likes to open them and find the smallest one that is the size of a fingernail. 😊

Don't lose yourself We lose something every day. We lock the door and when we want to unlock it we realize that the keys are no longer with us. They fall out of our pockets or we forget them somewhere. We take out a wallet to pay for something and then we see that we have lost money. Or we can't even find a wallet. When the weather is cloudy, we carry an umbrella and then forget it in a basket in the office or store, and after a while when we get wet, we remember that we…
