I just watched 3 consecutive movies. I first watched Earthsea. It was nice but I expected a lot more from this movie. It seems like a sort of a copy of Lord of the Rings, but it's far from being one. Earthsea just hasn't got that thing to make me say "wow" like the "Lord" did. Earthsea seemed to me like a low budget movie and a low standard movie (meaning that the standards for this movie were not so high, were as in the "lord" the standards were set at a huge level and the movie was a total success).
I really am disappointed with Earthsea and if I were to give it a grade from 0 to 10, I would give it a 3, just to be a sport. But it could have been better, a lot better. Anyway, the second movie I watched was "Chronicles of Riddick". I've seen this movie before, but it was a long time ago and I didn't remember much from it so I decided to watch it again.
"Chronicles of Riddick" is a good movie. I liked it and enjoyed it. It has a good story and some good actors. On a scale from 0 to 10 I give it a 6, and not because I don't like it, but because there are other films that are much better. I think 6 is pretty fair.
The third movie I watched (just finished watching it now) was "Kingdom of Heaven". Now this is a movie. This is a movie I really liked, and although it's not that new, I didn't see it until now. It was great. This movie is just showed me what a single actor, in this case Orlando bloom, can do for a movie. Just the fact that he played in this movie made it a success. There were some other great actors in it, but he was spectacular. Now if only Earthsea would have had Orlando in the main role and a little more action, it could have been a great movie...
On a scale from 0 to 10, I give "Kingdom of Heaven" a 9. It was definitely the greatest movie I saw today and I'm glad I watched it. Well, this was kind of my movie marathon, and actually I'm still thinking of continuing it into the night. I may watch another movie. Who knows? I am the only one who can decide that. I am in control of my life just like you are on yours. I am grateful for watching these movies and for movies in general. Some of them are really inspiring and wonderful.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for music
Today, I felt grateful for music. Without music the world wouldn't be so joyful. Music makes us sing ourselves and sometimes even dance. Music has something that makes us feel a strange energy. I'm talking about those special songs that you enjoy so much. Hearing one of those songs can make your day and this is why music is so powerful in the first place: it can create a wonderful feeling inside of us and brighten our days.
Music is joy. Music is life and about life. Music is energizing. The right music can make us work faster and better. If you are one of the persons that works better when listening to music, you know what I mean. I like to work with music sometimes, as it makes me feel good and I don't really feel like working anymore. I feel like doing something I like and I have music to go with it.
I am grateful for music because it brings up the best in me and in others. It lights up our faces and makes us want to dance the dance of life. And that's what life could be summed up to: an amazing dance that last a lot more than a normal one. This dance starts up with us not really knowing how to move our feet, but as we go along and see others do it, learn from the better dancers like our parents, we get the hang of it.
Soon, we will dance our own life. Our own songs. We will invent our own moves. We are unique and our dance will show that sooner or later. Our dance like no other. It can be a tango or a salsa. It can be hip hop or reggae. It all depends on what kind of dance we would like to dance. But no matter what we choose, our dance represents us and will remain as a testimony of the person we have been. Our dance will never die or faith away. It will live forever.
I am grateful for music. I am grateful for being able to hear those beautiful words that make me feel alive. I am grateful for having the chance to dance the music I choose to.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for my grandma and for finishing whitewashing
18 November
I am grateful for my grandma from my mother's side
I am writing this today because yesterday I didn't feel so good, must be something I ate. Anyway, now I feel much better :)
I am grateful for my grandmother. These couple of days I had the chance to spend more time with her as I helped her whitewash 2 rooms of her house. My grandmother is an amazing woman. All her life she had to work a lot to support her two children, and she did a great job raising them. She is an example of a loyal and hard working person and I really appreciate her for this. She helped more than I can remember and I will never forget this. I know that I will get a lot of chances to repay her for everything she's done and more.
After my grandfather died, she is living her self. I visit her from time to time and my uncle does this also, but being alone is not that great. I hate loneliness and I think most people do too. It's good to be lonely from time to time, to spend some time with oneself, but to do it on a regular basis, it's not ok. I've been thinking about this, and in the next couple of days I will do something about this "problem".
She really enjoyed the fact that I helped her, and I enjoyed doing this. At lunch we talked about a bunch of different things and I made her smile a couple of times and that made me happy. I'm pretty sure that she didn't have a lot of reasons to smile in her life time so I will try to make her smile more from now on. I love you grandma! I embrace you with all my heart!

I am grateful for finishing whitewash the house
Today, I am really grateful for finishing whitewashing. It wasn't a great deal, but it did take a while and I put some serious effort into it. I didn't whitewash for at about 1 year until now, so I had a hard time at first until I remembered how it was done :)
It took 2 days to completely whitewash to 2 rooms, as there were some areas that needed to be whitewashed twice so the color would be the same. But, I have to say it, after the whole thing was over, the rooms were looking like brand new. Thank you for the applause :))
This little whitewash made me feel good about myself when I got home tonight. I helped my grandma and I wanted to do that, and I left something behind: two very white rooms. Maybe it doesn't seem that much for you, but for me it's just great. I'm grateful I had this chance to do something to help my grandma and to spend time with her. I didn't have much time to do anything else, like blog and other stuff I had to do, but it's ok. I have time for those too.
I embrace you,

I am grateful for my two feet
I just back home from Bucharest, and if it wasn't for my own two feet I wouldn't be home by now. Maybe 2 hours later, but not now. I knew I had a bus somewhere around 6 and from where I left until the bus station, there was plenty of distance, about 1 hour and a half of subway, taking another bus and walking. I left pretty late, at 4.45, and if I wouldn't had these great 2 feet, I wouldn't had arrived in time.
I walked more than 6 miles until I got to the nearest subway station. This isn't much, but it was raining and I had a big bag to carry also, so it was exciting to say the least. By the time I got to the subway ( around 5.18) I was really wet and sweaty, but I made it in less than 29 minutes, so it was ok. I took the subway for one station, then got off and took another subway for 2 stations. I got off and I had to walk for another 2 miles to get to the bus, and it was 5.34.
I knew I had to hurry to get there in time. I didn't really know exactly if the bus would leave at 6 or earlier, or if there even was a bus at that hour. Nothing was 100% sure, but I hurried anyway and got to the station at 5.46. The interesting fact is that the bus left at 5.50, so I got there right on time.
I am really grateful I took that bus, because the next one was around 7.15, so I would have had to wait a while in the station. Thanks legs! I am grateful for having 2 strong and healthy legs to help me out! These legs help me a lot every day and I didn't ever stop to think what life would be without them, until now. I know now that they are very important for me, and I am grateful for that.
Did you ever stop to be grateful for your own 2 legs? Did you ever notice how much they help you? Be grateful for them and take care of them so that they can help you in the future also.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for dog walking
For a couple of days now I've had the opportunity to walk a dog that belongs to some of my friends, and I have to say this has been a great experience for me. For those of you who have a dog, this may not seem much as you maybe got used to the idea of talking your dog out in the morning. For me, walking the dog was...well, I liked it a lot.
Having a dog means a great responsibility, in my opinion. When you decide you want one, you also must realize that you will be responsible for that being from now on. You must feed him, go out with him, take care of any possible flea problems, take him to the vet on a regular basis, play with him, give him a proper place to sleep. Having a dog is great, but after you get a dog, he becomes a part of you. Like you have to go out, he needs to go out as well.
I see a lot of people that get dogs, but don't take care of them. It's a shame really, because when you look into a dog's eyes you can see...yourself in them. How can you not take care of yourself? The old saying that "dog is man's best friend" is true. Just look at your dog and you will see him jump for joy and wiggle his tail for you. Why does he do that? Because he really likes you or even loves you. He doesn't do it to get something in return, he just is happy to be with you. Now let me ask you this: How many people do you know that feel this for you? One? Two? Is there any?
Not many, right? But your dog will surely be happy whenever he sees you. He will jump into your arms and do silly things just to get your attention and make you laugh. Just pay attention to what your dog is doing and you will see. I just love dogs and I really liked and enjoyed this experience of walking a sweet dog outside. It was fun and relaxing and it could be a great way to get out more. I mean, if you want a jogging partner, get a dog. He will run so fast that by the time you get back home, you will literally fall down.
When you take him out for a walk, you might not realize that you are actually taking yourself out for a walk. As you are giving the dog some fresh air, he is giving you some as well. Dogs force you to get out more, to run more, to enjoy life more. I learned a lot from these past days and I am really grateful for the lessons that Blackie (the dog) gave me. I want to get a dog of my own, but this is not the time for this. But I will in the future.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for being grateful
Yesterday, on the 15 November I was grateful for being grateful. What does that mean? Being grateful for being grateful? It means that I am grateful for the capacity to be grateful for the things I love and enjoy. I was thinking what would happen if I couldn't express my gratitude for the things that bring joy to my life, what if I couldn't be grateful? That would be very sad indeed.
Being able to express the feelings of gratefulness is really amazing for me. Every time I express this, I get an inexplicable feeling of peace, happiness and relaxation. The fact that I do my best to take time every day and think of at least one thing that I really feel grateful for that day gives me energy and hope for the future. Realizing all the wonderful things that my life already has makes me feel powerful and gives me a strong belief that I can take my life to were I want it to be. I feel in control of my existence and I can make it or break it anytime I want to. The power is mine when it comes to my life, and the power is yours when it comes to your life.
You always, always have the power. It's up to you if you use it to make your life better or sabotage yourself. The power is under your control at all times. You can choose to be grateful or not. You can choose to go to the market or stay at home. You can choose to love someone and reject another. You are in control. But I kind of got of track here.
Getting back to what I am grateful... I am grateful for this wonderful thing, feeling, word, that is "grateful". It's a powerful feeling. When used correctly it shows us things that we just take for granted and that is why we must use it often. This word, this feeling will open us to the world around us more than we can think. It's already opening me to my world. I part of the world I had never seen before. I'm glad this part exists and I'm sure that all humans have it though some don't even know that it's there. I only hope you see this part as well.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for laughter
Today, 14 November, I am grateful for laughter, the thing that makes us happy. Laughter is a great gift and we should use it as often as we can, even all the time. It has the power to change an entire situation into a happy one. Laughter makes us enjoy our life and really feel the happiness inside of us. It also help us express that happiness and share it with the world. Laughter can also make others laugh as well, as laughter is contagious and very fun.
I think that a day without laughter is not such a good day, so let's all try to laugh more. All the days that I enjoy and experience laughter are great days for me, even if something not planned or not so good happens that day. For me laughter is a real joy and a moment when I recharge my batteries. It's a moment of true, amazing happiness.
I try to laugh as much as possible, even though I have some periods where I'm just bloomy and sad and thinking of all the things I don't have yet. But, the best thing about this is that it makes me realize and constantly remember myself of all the thing I do have and that I am grateful for. And I soon realize that that is actually what matters, and that is what I should think of. As soon as I do that, I feel better, happier and you know what else happens? I start making the right steps towards getting what I don't have right now.
So, in my case, thinking at the things I have and am grateful for actually does my twice the good: changes my feelings from sadness to happiness and helps me get closer to the things I desire. I think and encourage you to do this also. To think and be grateful for what you already have, and I think this will help you get what you want. Either way, it's always better to be happy and not sad, so no matter if thinking of what you have helps you get what you desire or not, it still is a much better thing then thinking of what's lacking from your life.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for friendship
Unfortunately, yesterday, 13 November I didn't have the time to even open my computer so today, I will write 2 "I am grateful for" posts, for today and yesterday.
13 November
I am grateful for friendship
Today I went with my girlfriend to Bucharest, as she is a student there. It was a fun trip (we slept the whole darn way :)) but that's not exactly what I am grateful for today. When we got to her university, I said to her that I am sure that I will meet 3 of my friends while we got from one university to another (she had to go to another one to attend classes there). This wasn't very far, about 12 minutes of walking.
I was really confident that I would really meet 3 friends and I even said to my girlfriend the names of the 3 people I was going to meet. I didn't really think that it wasn't going to happen, I just knew it would. I saw the people I wanted to meet in my mind and felt the joy of seeing them again as it was a couple of months since we last met.
So, there we were on our way to the university, when I saw one of the 3 people I wanted to meet talking on the phone. He wasn't really in our way, he was somewhere on our right, but I looked at him and he saw me and he said hi even if he was talking on the phone. I saluted him and saw that he was busy and in a hurry, so we went on.
I talked a little bit with my girlfriend and what do you think happen? I meet another friend. It wasn't one from the 2 left, it was another friend that was going to classes. We stopped and hugged and talked for 3 minutes about what we were doing and then I let him go, so he wouldn't be late for classes. I felt great to meet him, it was like a bonus to the 3 I really wanted to meet.
We got to where my girlfriend wanted to go and while I kissed her goodbye, guess who I saw? Of course you guessed it! It was one of the 2 friends left, actually it was one of my greatest friends, Robert. My and my girlfriend saw him from a distance and we raised our hands and we saluted him. He didn't see us the first time so on we went with the salutations until he saw us and smiled. I was really happy to see Robert, as he was my roommate for 2 years at the university campus and I really missed him.
My girlfriend had to go, so I went with Robert to where he had to go ,which was exactly were I was coming from, so we had about 15 minutes to talk. He let me know what was new in his life and I told him what was happening in mine, and the time passed really fast, too fast actually, and soon we were at point 0 in our short journey together. Those 15 minutes seemed like a lot more, because I talked to a dear friend. I hugged him and wished him a good day and all the best.
I stopped to make a phone call, and while the phone was ringing I thought about how grateful I was for these amazing friends that I have in my life. They are truly wonderful! I can truly say that I have at least 5 amazing friends, and what I mean by this those kind of friends that if you need them or their help in the middle of the night, they will help you.
And if they need my help, I will help them. I am grateful for these wonderful friends and I feel blessed to have them. While I was thinking this, realized what a wonderful gift friendship is for me and for the entire human kind. I am really grateful fro friendship, the real kind. The one that makes you cry when you think of your best friends (and I also started to cry as I felt I missed Robert even if I just met him 2 minutes back - maybe that is why I missed him, because I wanted to talk to him more).
If only we could spend our time with the ones we love most, oh, what an unbelievable life it would e then! Doing what we love to do and being with whom we love to be with. Now that is really happiness, no matter how much money you have. It's the feeling inside that matters, all that actually matters.
I didn't get to meet all the 3 friends I wanted to meet, but meeting two of them plus one I hadn't planned on meeting was really great. I'm glad I decided to meet them as I'm sure I make my own path and then choose to walk it or not. I'm grateful for my friends and I hope I can help them at least as much as they helped me. I hope that I will be able to make them as happy as they made me in the past and make me every single day, because they are there for me.
I embrace you with friendship,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for friendship
Today I went with my girlfriend to Bucharest, as she is a student there. It was a fun trip (we slept the whole darn way :)) but that's not exactly what I am grateful for today. When we got to her university, I said to her that I am sure that I will meet 3 of my friends while we got from one university to another (she had to go to another one to attend classes there). This wasn't very far, about 12 minutes of walking.
I was really confident that I would really meet 3 friends and I even said to my girlfriend the names of the 3 people I was going to meet. I didn't really think that it wasn't going to happen, I just knew it would. I saw the people I wanted to meet in my mind and felt the joy of seeing them again as it was a couple of months since we last met.
So, there we were on our way to the university, when I saw one of the 3 people I wanted to meet talking on the phone. He wasn't really in our way, he was somewhere on our right, but I looked at him and he saw me and he said hi even if he was talking on the phone. I saluted him and saw that he was busy and in a hurry, so we went on.
I talked a little bit with my girlfriend and what do you think happen? I meet another friend. It wasn't one from the 2 left, it was another friend that was going to classes. We stopped and hugged and talked for 3 minutes about what we were doing and then I let him go, so he wouldn't be late for classes.

I am grateful for the sweet smell of cleanness
Do you remember that wonderful smell that your house has right after you have cleaned it? That's what I'm talking about. That smell of freshness and cleanness. This is what I am grateful for today. Me and my girlfriend, we just did a whole house clean up and in that process I was asking myself: "What am I grateful for today?"
I kept asking this until I finally realized that cleaning the house made me feel good, great actually. When I clean the house I feel a boost of energy in my entire body, that warmness that could melt down a rock of ice. I'm sure you experienced that warmness when you did something fast. It's a feeling of joy and power. It's great and cleaning makes me feel this way. And I am grateful for that.
I am grateful for the fact that all the house smells so nice. The fresh air is flying everywhere in the house. Fresh carpets all around. It's a wonderful feeling and maybe you can relate to this if you clean your house with pleasure. It's just so great. It doesn't matter that I'm just cleaning. The entire process is giving me an energy that few things can. And that smell right after I'm finished can't be compared with anything.
If you didn't find this amazing joy in cleaning your house, you may want to try it next time you do it. It's always better to enjoy the things you do or have to do, than to start doing them with a "I'm going to hate this." attitude. Just try to make the whole thing fun and you may want to do it as fast as you can. This always makes me enjoy cleaning even more. I try to beat my own time record and finish cleaning faster than last time. I always make it seem like a game and sometimes even set a reward for myself if I finish the job fast.
You can try anything you want, just make it interesting instead of boring and frustrating. Make a bet with your spouse/husband to see who finishes he/her share of cleaning first and set a prize for the first place (but also reward the second place, so even if you end up second you will still gain something).
You can make cleaning so fun! You just have to want to make it fun. If you want to go trough cleaning with a soar face, that's what you will end up with. But, if you want to at least try and make it interesting, because you just have to clean, then do so. Start thinking of ways to make it a fun activity and I'm sure you will come up with great ideas.
I embrace you from a clean house :)

I am 3 times more grateful for...
In this post I am 3 times as grateful as I included here the "I am grateful for" posts for 9,10 and 11 November, which I couldn't do so sooner because of the internet connection problem. I'm posting them now. Enjoy!
9 November
I am grateful for my girlfriend
I am so grateful that I have such a wonderful girlfriend! She is truly not my half, but a part of myself! Of all the things and people that I've attracted into my life, my girlfriend is the most important.
I'm grateful that she loves me so much and shows me this every single day. I'm grateful for her smile and for her amazing "just being herself" that lights up the entire world! I'm grateful that she takes care of me, cooks for me, washes for me, helps me when I need help.
I am grateful for all the things that she did, does and will do. Diana, I am grateful for you! Your existence is making this world a much happier and joyful place.
I wish to you a girlfriend or a boyfriend like her. She is just amazing! Diana, I love you! Thank you for being here all the time!
10 November
I am grateful for my home
I thought about all the people that do not have a place to call home, a roof over their heads. I am so lucky to have a great home. A place of my own which allows me to be myself and do what I love to do without worrying where I sleep tonight. I am so grateful for this!
I just think how it would be if I wouldn't have my own home and I recognize the gratefulness I have for my home. This is the thing that I'm grateful for today. It's a place that's a part of me and I'm a part of it.
Do you have a roof over your head? Be grateful for it. Many people only dream of what you and me already have.
11 November
I am grateful for my hamsters
I have a lovely bunch of hamsters that keep me company when I am alone. It all started with a boy and a girl and it quickly got to 4 boys and 5 girls! I really love them, although I keep them separated now, because I don't want them to multiply again, as in this rate I will soon have a whole hamster farm :))
I really am grateful for these furry creatures that are so loving towards me. I can feel their love every time I pick a hamster up and play with it. Their just like little children that need love and affection and will give you what only innocent creatures can: unconditional love.
They never seem to amaze me to how much energy they have. All day long (actually most of the night as in the day time the mostly sleep) they run and play. They are so fun to watch and play with! They can really brighten up the day! I recommend you get a hamster or two if you don't already own one! It will literally change your life in a great way!
I love you hamsters! Thanks for being yourself! Keep on playing and enjoying life! I could learn a thing or two from you.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for my grandma and birthdays
This post is for 8 November. As you know I had some problems, so I'm posting it now.
Today is my grandma's birthday. My aunt had called me on Monday and told me this, as I didn’t know this. She said "We always celebrated grandpa properly. It's time we did the same for grandma." We planed to meet on Saturday, at the country side and give my grandma a birthday party she would never forget. She turned 73, by the way. I hope she lives another 100 years, at least.
I got there on Saturday, early in the morning. My father drove my there, as he was heading that direction. He promised to stop by in the afternoon and say "Happy birthday!". I got there and the gate was locked, but the dogs started to bark and my grandma sow me. I hadn't seen them for over 4 months. My grandma was so happy to see me, like she always is, that she started to cry. I said "Happy birthday grandma!". She didn’t know if I would came or not, because I didn't tell her that.
We sat down and we talked about how I was doing and about how her and grandpa were doing also. Grandpa was at the church as he is a sort of helper for the priest there and he takes his job very serious. He is 80 years old, and although some people can't even walk at 80, he does a great job of that, especially when he needs to go to the church. It's something that motivates him and gives him strength. My grandma is a very funny woman. You can't really have a talk with her and not laugh. You just can't. She will always find something to say that will make you laugh with tears. Although she had her share of sadness and hard things in life, she laughs a lot and that helps her.
She was worried about me, as she hadn't seen me for so long, but I reassured her I was fine. I bough her this chocolate brandy and she liked it very much. I also gave her some candy that had jelly inside, so that she could chew them, as at her age she hasn't my teeth anymore. She loved them, but she loved my presence there. That was all that really mattered. I enjoyed it too. After a while, one of my aunts come also and she brought a beautiful cake for grandma. We lighted a candle and we started to sing "Happy birthday!" My grandma is the kind of person that says "Come on. Stop this. You are silly." But we didn't stop, because we wanted her to know that we loved her so darn much!
I was and am really grateful for my grandma. For her existence on this earth. She is sort of my second mother as she raised me from 2 years old to 5 and a half, and also took care of me after that. She raised 4 kids and they all turned out great. I hope that she lives a lot more so I can show her my gratitude in all the ways possible. I love you grandma! Happy birthday!
I am also grateful for birthdays. These are special days, when people come together and celebrate someone they love. It's great! It brings us all together and the love level is so high then. That's why I'm so grateful for birthdays, because it makes us as one.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for my internet connection
This is the "I am grateful for..." post that was supposed to be on the blog on 7 November, but because of the internet connection problems I had, I'm posting it now. Enjoy!
In the last couple of days I've had some problems with my internet connection, which infortunately have not been solved at the time of me writing this post. It's not very fun to not have an internet connection, especially when you're work depends on it, but it happens. And everything happens for a reason. In my case, this probably happened so that I realize the importance than a simple internet connection has for me.
I had this problem in the past, but it seems that I never have been really grateful for the great internet connection I had until now. By not having it anymore, I am trully grateful for the moments I do have it and I will remember this from now on.
Altough I wrote a post that I wanted to put on my blog yesterday, I couldn't because of my internet connection problem. Believe me, I'm really, really grateful now for the times when my internet connection worked fine and I will hold that in mind. It's moments like these that make you feel grateful for what you already have, because when you don't have them anymore, you feel their absence and the real importance they had into ones life.
I'm not only talking about internet connection and other material stuff. I'm also speaking of people that are very important to us, but we don't trully realize their importance until they are gone. It's only then that we feel the emptiness inside of us, the feeling that we could easily have done more to show them their importance to us, to show them how much we love them.
Keep this in mind the next time you meet someone of great importance to you like your children, you mother or father, or you half. Embrace them like you never embraced them before and tell them "I love you with all my heart". Don't forget that altough they may know how much you love them, it's much better to always tell them that. They will feel joy and love for you and you will feel the same, so it's a win-win situation and you should do it as often as possible. Don't think that "He/she knows how much I love him/her. I don't need to show it to him/her." Don't think, just do it. Don't wait untill you will no longer have the opportunity to do it. Do it now. If you love them, show them you do.
Be grateful for everything and everyone that surounds you and show them your love and gratefulness. If I can be grateful for a measly internet connection, I'm sure you can find a lot more things/persons to be grateful for. Maybe, you just didn't stop to think of what you are grateful for. It's time you did so. Don't postpone. Love needs not to be postponed. Love needs to be lived in this moment, not tommorrow. I hope you will remember to be grateful for what you have and show those people you trully are grateful for, exactly that, that you are.
It doesn't even have to be a person, I can easily be a dog or a cat, that is very important to you. When it's gone you'll miss it. So, play with it more. Make it feel happy and you will feel happy. Show it you're grattitude.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

It doesn't even have to be a person, I can easily be a dog or a cat, that is very important to you. When it's gone you'll miss it. So, play with it more. Make it feel happy and you will feel happy. Show it you're grattitude.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for not having a headache
This post should have been here on the blog a couple of days back, but due to an internet connection problem I had, it wasn't possible to be posted when I wrote it, which is 6 November 2008. So, this is the reason I was grateful on 6 November.
Why I am grateful for not having a headache?
Well, last night. I had a horrible headache that kept up for about an hour and a half before I could actually get some sleep. I stayed too much at the computer, without any proper breaks and my head was pissed off and he showed me :)) It really was one of those painful headaches that makes you wanna tear your head apart :) I do not wish this kind of pain to anyone.
Anyway, the idea here is that I would have gave "half my kingdom" if only I could get rid of that headache. I really would! This made me feel so grateful that I don't have these sort of headaches often. In the past, a couple years back, these sort of headaches were kind of familiar to me, and it wasn't 3 or 4 days without such a headache. some cool mountain air and seaside trips fixed this problem and, in time I didn't have such headaches. Last night was just a reminder to be grateful that I don't. Thank you, my smart friend! (I was talking to the head here).
I'm really, really, really very grateful for the lack of headaches, even more because I had this past experince of the thing and trully know how it feels. Did you ever have such headaches? If you did, then maybe you should be grateful for the days you don't have them. Did you ever think of that? Yes, be grateful for something that could be causing you pain, but it's not.
It's pretty powerfull, because you know exactly how it feels to have a bad headache. You know the feeling. You've been through it, so you will be even more grateful when you relate to that feeling. Try it. Even if you don't usually have problems with headaches, I'm sure you can find another such "pain" that you are grateful for not having often.
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre

I am grateful for ...
I am launching a new category on this blog, called "I am grateful for...". Every day, for a whole year, starting today, 5 November 2008, I will write about at least one thing that I'm grateful for in that particular day.
This is just a small part of the changes that I want to make in my own life, changes that will not only help me on my personal development quest, but it will hopefully help you as well. I will share more about my plans soon.
For now, I want to share with you the thing that I'm grateful for today. I'm writing this here for 2 reasons:
1. The first reason is to remind myself of the wonderful things that I already have, and that I usually just take for granted. Sometimes I find myself searching for something in a wrong way and I don't find it. I'm sad for a while but then I discover, that, to my surprise, the thing I was searching for was already in my possession.
I just didn't look for it the right way. What I'm trying to say here is that we sometimes look for things like money and fame, because we desire those things and think that by having them we will get what we mostly want. Because it's not really money, fame, cars or anything else that we truly desire. What we want is something much more valuable. We are searching for happiness. All our life we are looking for things and experiences that create inside of us that wonderful feeling of inexplicable joy.
This is what we truly want. Happiness. If we only knew that happiness is so close to us, in any moment of the day, we wouldn't need to go and look for it somewhere it's not. Most of the times, if not every time, out own happiness is not somewhere out there in the world. In fact our happiness lies inside of us. It doesn't lie in money, fame, cars, houses or success. It is a part of us. We just have to choose to see that it is here, not there. By being grateful for what we already have, we find happiness within our selves. And, if you didn't know this, happiness attracts happiness. The more happy we are the more happier we will become. This is why it's so important to feel happy for what you already have. Many others do not have what you have. So be grateful.
2. I'm doing this "I am grateful for..." exercise daily because I truly feel that it's of great importance to my life and to anyone's life. I hope that by doing this here, I will inspire other people to write down and be grateful for all the things they already have in their lives. This exercise is as much for me as it is for you. I hope it will help you and myself to find the happiness we both have inside of us. And after we have found it, let's enjoy it!
So, today I am grateful for my eyes. Yes I am grateful for having two perfect eyes, which help me to see what I am writing in this post. Without my eyes I would be lost, and many of this world's beauty would become just imagination for me. I can't even imagine what someone that doesn't have the capacity to see this beautiful world, feels like. I feel sorry for people that have to go through this life without seeing the world.
But I encourage them to also look for other things that they do have and be grateful for those things. If we think to much of the things that we don't have, we are in fact giving those things too much energy. We are wasting our energy on something that isn't going to help us anyway, when we could be concentrating on the things that can help us, like being grateful for what we have. This will make us feel good and happy with our selves. And by being happy we will become ... more even more happy.
As I was saying, I'm grateful for having these beautiful two eyes, that show me this amazing world every single day. Last night I stayed at the computer so long that this morning my eyes were hurting. Right then I realized that if I hadn't had my eyes I would have lost something of immense value to me. So many things that I couldn't again see... This is why I've decided to reduce the amount of time that I spend in front of the computer every day. Because I love my eyes and I'm grateful for having them. I've decided to do a lot of things in the nearby future, but more on that soon - and this will also hopefully help you as well, so it may interest you ;)
Well, that's my 2 cents for today and I will take good care of my eyes so I can see you one day, face to face. You'd better take care of yours and be grateful you have them. I'll see you soon! (I can even say "see you soon" because of my eyes - I'm even more grateful now :)
I embrace you,
Razvan Dobre
