The power of gratitude
The power of gratitude

aiOnce upon a time, in happy peaceful times, there was a piano in a house on the outskirts of a wonderful reinforced concrete Ukrainian city, where there were incredible sunsets, a beautiful garden, roses, fantastic nature, where I fulfilled many of my dreams in a year. A simple Yamaha electronic piano with hammer-type keys, unique in that it fully imitates the sound of a classic mechanical piano. It was one of those resources that inspires and gives both energy in life and peace. Bach's music, for example, affects a person in the same way as meditation. Well, you can only imagine now, suset, birds, fresh air, the aroma of flowers and coffee, and wonderful live music. That piano was very happy 🙂
aiAnd so, on the other side of the globe, after six months of adaptation, mental rehabilitation, etc., another miracle happened. My colleagues and I used to go after work to one place where there was a piano. Of course, I couldn't resist and was so grateful for such a small opportunity that the universe must have felt it.
aiThe next week I got a piano, temporarily, but exactly the SAME model. And in a couple of days - headphones. What is the probability of such a coincidence?
No matter how difficult it is, you still have to live on, dream, have a desire, plan something, otherwise you simply cannot
aiBut the universe did not stop there either. I was worried about the condition of the piano in the cold house, and the next day a friend wrote that she could not find a similar piano for her son. I offered mine, but the question was how to take it from the house. A friend of a friend who helped fix a broken heating system in the house needed to get into my house, and of course he was able to send the piano.
aiSo a boy who has been dreaming of a piano for quite some time finally got one too.
aiWhat it's about for me - as soon as you start feeling sincere gratitude for what happens to you, for what you have, even if it's almost nothing because it was one backpack for a couple of weeks, such incredible stories happen.
aiNo matter how difficult it is, you still have to live on, dream, have a desire, plan something, otherwise you simply cannot. And have a few of those resources that bring you back to the moment, to life.
