Day 353 – 354 Honeymoon

Unbelievable but the studio is ready to receive my first quests arriving this afternoon from England. I have to say yesterday afternoon I had to take a break and watch the men’s handball game between Hungary and Iceland, otherwise I would have got stressed about the state of the room. The handball was so nerve racking at some point at the end I thought I might just go back downstairs to carry on with the studio. I am so glad I didn’t do it, but screamed through the whole double extension as a true fan. Apparently many people did the same in the village and I believe in the whole country what’s more beyond. We won and earned a well-deserved place in the finals or whatever it is called when only 4 teams are playing for gold, silver, bronze and the 4th place. I am so proud of my little country. Apparently we are the 10th on the medal list, but I haven’t checked it, so I am not certain. Today hopefully we won more medals in the kayak-canoe races. I don’t mind what medals at all, because it is such an amazing result on its own to get into the Olympics, so I am very proud of every single sportsmen and women Hungary has in London. This little country is amazing! I am in Love with Hungary indeed. Of course I know this is the honeymoon period, but I am hoping to be on honey moon as long as I am here. I know I have changed a lot since moving to England, but I can sense that the country is changing as well and its people. The economic harshness of reality lurks around everybody, but the days are ours. We rule the days by the grace of God and no recession can change that. The deepness of darkness of course wants to stay and garb the joy, but the joy is incredible strong and stays. Even though the train stations are empty, the shops are closing and there are no jobs, I am hoping. I hope and believe that there is a better future here and one day we will start to increase again in numbers and overcome. The chests we are carrying on our shoulders will suddenly drop and break with its contents evaporating like steam in the fresh air. I believe we are already overcoming the jealousy and anger, stress and rage, lies and pain that the last century brought upon us and we can once again humbly and truly become joyful as we were so many times before. These are nothing else, but testing times. And what doesn’t breaks us, makes us stronger.
