the sun shines as it has just realized how to make finnish people to smile and talk.
the change is amazing, young and old men and women greet when passing by, laugh aloud, talk to strangers, chat to bus drivers, walk outside, gather in groups to enjoy the warmth and the light. suddenly oulu seems like a more lively city, very much unlike in the winter when i wonder if anyone lived here at all.
friends, old and new, make me smile every day. as does the sun, the freedom that summer brings, the big G that is slowly starting to get its final form.
and now, when i'm living for a week with a family with 3 kids, i remember why kids are thought to be so lovely and how much happiness they can bring...
- one gets hugged every morning accompanied with sweet smiles full of anticipation and excitement
- one can cuddle sweet creatures that climb on your lap
- one can tell stories that light the fresh and eager faces
- one can go to funny field trips where-ever imagination leads
- every morning is different and a new start
- moments seem more precious
- time runs fast
- one can play, paint, draw, make face-paints, do arts and crafts, sing, read, run, dance, tell jokes, act funnily... and it's all cool.
yep. and next week back to my thesis, my final exam, moving to south, and working.
:) enjoy the beginning of summer!
