So I started doing this with some candles my sister gave me, and y'know what happened?
Because I used the candle, realised how much I liked my house smelling nice. So, i did more to fill my house with nice smelling stuff. I bought reed defusers, I bought flowers (which I stopped doing cause they smell quickly), I cared more about making sure my bins were empty and my sink was clear. I also developed more of a sense for what smells I did like. Like, I prefer woody smells. Incense and sandlewood.
And I realised how nice my house looked when it was clean. So I made more of an effort to clean my house. And cleaning never felt like a chore because I only cleaned when I wanted to.
And because I was cleaning my house more, I made decisions that helped to keep the house clean more often. I found homes for the loose things that never had a home before. I started remembering where things were because they were usually in their homes. I found or bought things to put things in.
It was hard because I'm not good at it, but slowly I developed those skills and got better at it. I realised how little pride I had had in my own home, and sought out new reasons to be proud. I bought things to put on my walls. I just bought myself a rug this week. I might even invite people over.
Anyway, just saying that maybe enjoying the small, fleeting things, is more important than we expect.
Estonia has always been a singing nation. Singing is our symbol of freedom, with choral traditions spanning back centuries. Now, singing is one of the ways we can show our support to Ukraine, which is fighting for freedom at this very moment.
Thousands of Estonians gathered on Tallinn Song Festival Grounds to sing Ukrainian song "Ой у лузі червона калина" on 22nd May. The performance was broadcast on Estonian television a day later during support drive for Ukraine.
The organisers said that the event was organised because "it is important that the world does not forget for a moment what is happening in Ukraine and that this support does not subside or get tired."
You can also help Ukraine by donating to Razom for Ukraine (US) or NGO Slava Ukraini (Europe).
Estonia stands with Ukraine 🇪🇪💙🇺🇦
