Right now



Right now I am:

:: sitting in a blue armchair in a cafe on the fourth floor of a building


:: looking through large windows toward old town with its church towers


:: drinking herb tea from a blue low ceramic cup


:: waiting for my husband to arrive to have dinner together


:: hoping he won’t get stuck in the traffic


:: worrying a bit that the wait might be long


:: seeing the cars tightly lined up and moving snail slowly on the street below


:: smiling at the sight of baby daffodils, a gift from a friend, peeking from a paper bag on a chair next to me


:: planning to continue reading a book called “Südamekool” (Heart School) - a gift from another friend


:: accepting getting a year older, not that it makes me happy as it did when I was a child


:: cheering to my mind that keeps learning


:: appreciating my healthy flexible body


:: feeling my sore muscles from waltzing yesterday


:: pushing aside any school thoughts, though they still find a way to return


:: watching the sun reflecting from the rooftops


:: listening to the mellow murmur of people 


:: catching random words without context


:: wishing  you, my dear readers, wonderful words to write and read to fill your soul



My dear hubby got stuck in the traffic. I drank several cups of tea, wrote my slice and read the book. 
The following sentence (rough translation) spoke to my heart:
"Sometimes seemingly empty time, like waiting, turns out to be fulfilling."
