What does your typical day look like?

I am a very homey lady, my day starts with my coffee time, which I try to turn into true enjoyment – brewing coffee, waiting for it to get ready, watching the city to wake up through the window of my kitchen. then sipping it slowly from my favorite mug. I have a beautiful coffee set of two mugs… one is still waiting for its owner. Then few working hours, right now I work from home, I make bookkeeping calculations for small businesses. I visit gym when I have a pause in my work or I just stroll along the alleys and breath fresh air. I can meet my daughters or friends at the cafe, visit my sister who lives nearby, make some shopping. Cooking dinner is another passion of mine. I always try to cook something new and delicious. But I have a trouble, all the recipes are meant at least for two persons… so every time I cook, it gives me a hint, that I should do something to change it.

What is your favorite dessert?

Ice cream, I have loved it since I remember myself. For me it is more than just ice cream, this is taste of my childhood. I remember my mom giving me a few coins so that I could get my ice cream on my way back from school. Those are the happiest memories ever!

What is a fun fact about you?

I always had a fear for riding bicycles, I had tried it once in childhood and rode it right into the neighbor's fence, crashing my knees. Since that time I always avoided the invitation to try again. But I could not reject my grandson&39;s invitation and it was a success! So, I was 60 y o when I finally learned riding a bicycle)

What are you most grateful for?

I am grateful for every day in my life, either it was good or something bad happened I am grateful my destiny for every little moment because it made me as I am now, everything I have lived through I take it as my experience, which I treasure so much.

What is your biggest accomplishment?

My family, my daughter who is happily married, my grandson, whom I love so much! It is my grandson who managed to teach me riding a bicycle, now we do it every weekend at the park nearby.
