Enjoying my first painting...

It has been a week since I arrived. Stockholm, who will believe few months ago that I will be here. Once I was sitting with a friend and he told me, ‘’You know you never know where life will bring you, once you see the place you will know that it was with the purpose, there is something behind it’’.

Sweden is great country to live http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden, so many advantages for young people, employees, and old stars. You can feel hospitality of Swedes from the first moment you talk with them, they are so supportive, caring individuals. In their company you will feel trust and joy.

Hm, that was strange feeling, again in foreign country, new people, language, and way of living. Every time you start new life chapter you say, ‘’Ok, this is the last time I am changing and getting everything new again’’, but you never know. It is interesting to learn new things. Stockholm is very international city. So many good brands and people are coming from this area. Nobel was born here. This week Nobel Prize announcement took attention of the whole world http://nobelprize.org/alfred_nobel/. IKEA, Volvo, Sony Ericsson, H&M, Scania, Electrolux are just some of the famous Swedish brands.

New friends, it matters. They make your life more flavored and colorful. I am working in team of 30 people from 15^th different nationalities, imagine how different we are. I met one Brazilian, one Malaysian colleague, great girls, my first new friends here. It was so interesting one day to present ourselves and say something interesting about us. I realized why the biggest wealth of Electrolux is people. It is a great company to be part of. Going with the latest technologies and trends in the world, company is providing people challenging environment to work in. I like my job, working on huge Global HR Transformation project. First week went so fast. Long days at work, but I enjoyed it. Next week I will use gym in the company to relax myself after work. I find very nice Swedish passion and spirit for doing sport. Also we have free fruits inside the company building.

Next months I will move to live with 2 friends of mine, I met some time ago. One is from Latvia and other one from Italy. Looking forward to enjoy moments with them. For now, I live with Hungarian family. I have my room and very cozy moments here, I can use sauna to unfreeze myself after long day. The best moment I experienced so far was one morning when I woke up. I was sitting in the warm room, looking through window, sun was arising, people blocked in their scarfs, hats, gloves, big jackets, you could see their breaths making fogs around them. It was very cold outside -2 degrees. Trees got nice ice decoration. Dogs had latest modern suits to warm them up. Everybody was running somewhere. It was very nice picture to capture. I felt warm inside myself. We need to be grateful for this kind of moments. How many times we even don’t have time to ask if we are hungry, and that is a basic need. At the beginning of this year I said to myself ‘’Live in the present, enjoy now’’.

When I caught that moment that morning, I realized that the real beauty of universe is the opportunity to enjoy every fraction and bit, opportunity to feel ‘’now’’. Once you get this feeling your life is becoming fully colorful.

Today I enjoyed drinking coffee with friends; long time didn’t taste so good late machiatto.

I guess painting had just started. You are all invited to come here and paint with me. Come to enjoy moments together.
