I was staying at home today with my cute nephew Dimitry...
To tell the truth, I understood a lot of being with him alone! And the most important for me is that I love him very-very much! I love Dima, maybe, too much, but what can I do? I cannot imagine how much I'll lome my own children then!
Sometimes adults think they know everything, they can answer all questions children ask them, but I know for sure they are so wrong! Today's children are really smart, they know a lot from the very beginning of their life and are interested in everything. They want to try a lot of things and, being opened to new, they are like the white papers for adults to write. We are responsible for our child bacause his or her small new life is like a reflection in the mirror of our own life.
Dima helped me today to clean the house with vacuum, to prepare tosts for lunch and even to study. He loves my EAP books. His favourite one is Writing - a purple one :).
He is really a funny guy. The greatest talent is to put him in the bed for the nap-time. Dima hates it. So I should have been laying near his bed on the floor during his nap-time today pretending I'm sleeping. But the problem was that I fall asleep and did it faster than my cute Dimitry. I woke up because of his favourite words "Oksanka, what are you doing?" I smiled to him and ... couldn't believe that happened :).
Do you, guys, have some funny stories with children? Do you like them? I'll be really happy to share your opinions about children.

The Best Feeling
Today me and my sister went to the Drop-in centre (a place for poor people to eat and sleep) as volounteers. There was a group of people from the Challenger company my sister works at and I decided to join them. It was really great to do it bacause you are helping others, at the same time you are helping yourself!
That Drop-in centre is huge. There is enough space for everybody and even if you are not poor you can have some dinner or lunch there. The food they serve is pretty good and the portions are big enough. It's a good idea to have such kind of places for poor people to sleep and to eat. But the problem is that they feel themselves really relaxed and they are getting used to it. As a result, why do they need to go to work or to find the place to live as they can do it for free, drinking and smoking instead?
There are two ends of this stick... As usually... But I just want to say that a good idea is to make them find a sense in their lives! To help them not just get some food but get some meaning of living and being in the world. It's not easy but we should try.
Our life is a big value. You are born into this world by your mother and father to be happy. Very often I'm thinking about Sense of my life. I guess I found the answer recently. To have the meaning of your life means to live and to be happy! And isn't that true, the biggest happiness you have when you are making others happy?
We were really happy when going back home after lunch among those poor people we heard them applauded us. It's was the best feeling ever can be!

Free ball
I like bid tennis, but every time playing it I feel really tired and... free. I like that small tennis ball, because you never know the way it goes in a second. It's like a free-going, free-doing, free-living, free-feeling...
What's freedom? For me, it's the best feeling ever can be in the world. Only the person who has his or her own opinion about everything can be Somebody in today's life. Freedom, I think, is a free thinking of your heart. Some moments we are like in the frames which don't allow us to live our lives the way we prefer. The most important and difficult is to find our own heart's freedom and not lose it going step by step our life's way...

Hello my new friends
Hello everybody! :)
For all of us the new period of our life has already started. A lot of good days we left far away from us - at our homes with our parents, relatives and friends. But many interesting and special moments are waiting for us in the future and I think new is always good!
Somebody of you is really lucky to be in Canada with a family. Either do I. I live here with my cousine, her husband and their 3-year old son. So it helps a lot not just to study but to feel yourself happy and do not miss home so much. But to tell the truth, every time I call to Ukraine, I feel that I for me Ukraine'll be the best country in the world :)
I like autumn, but I don't like winter. Calgary's autumn is very similar to Ukrainian but our forests have a lot of red trees. Here are just a little of them. What can I do? The weather doesn't depend on us, it's free to colour the trees the way it wants. I just really miss the red trees...
I like weekends a lot because you shouldn't think about time and do whatever you want. You are free in your choices and I want to wish everybody to enjoy the long-weekends and have a good Thanksgiving day. For me it's the first Thanksgiving in my life and in an hour we are going to have a dinner with the Canadian family.
Ok, guys, have a fun! See you on Tuesday.
