I thought it might be a good idea to write a post just to avoid making my friends worry about me. I am alive, staying in Kyiv, and this fact sometimes surprises me. Earlier, in June, I went to visit my

I said to myself: it's strange that the weekend in Kyiv went by without numerous air raids. And today, a massive missile attack that is still going on. I decided to work in the office in the morning. From

The situation with electricity is very difficult now everywhere in Ukraine. We have electricity about 12 hours a day. I used to talk to my daughter on the phone every day but now we are rarely in touch

May the majority of my posts not mislead you. "Travels, photography, and a little bit of everything". I try to stick to these topics. Most people come here for good emotions. So do I. But...

At this point, my answer will not be philosophical. Not at all. It depends on what comes back to you from what you lost. Yes, this is my recipe of happiness. I wasn't active on Hive recently. I don't know

The two dearest persons in my life are my daughter and my husband. And I wish we could spend time together more often. While we are hoping for better circumstances for family gatherings I still can spend

There has been much talk about the New Year in Ukrainian society recently. To be or not to be? To celebrate or not celebrate? What is appropriate and what is not? The New Year tree on the main city square,

I would have never ever thought that one day I could really feel what this song says... I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas

What do you do usually in the morning when you wake up? Be honest, you look at your phone, do you? My day started early today. Nick is going to his next mission. He has a lot of ammunition and such so

The first day of winter came with a lot of snow. A white quiet morning like a blank page of a brand new season. For me, winter used to be associated with Christmas, New Year tree, holiday markets, mulled

I dreamed last night that I was in Mariupol. In present-day Mariupol. I had some kind of mission, don't remember exactly. But eventually, I was exposed and I woke up when I was falling from the top of

This post was supposed to be published yesterday, i.e. on Wednesday. But yesterday's night was quite alarming in Kyiv. At night, our air defense system worked loudly, and this time the debris fell within

Hello, guys! It's the Independence Day of Ukraine today, and there will be no stories but I have a lot of photos of Kyiv for you.😉 Usually, this day is a holiday and a weekend. But for the second year

Sunflowers During the last year, I noticed that the sunflower is often present in symbols related to Ukraine. Well, that is, the sunflower is associated with Ukraine. Did you notice or it only seems to

I have noticed the longer I stay silent, the harder it is to get back to posting. It's like surfing. In the midst of an unstable ocean of emotions, you must catch a wave. Also, I must wear a bandage (or

Добрий вечір! Знову ніч була неспокійна були тривоги. Як ці русичі набридли. Заснути вдалося вже глибокої ночі, то вранці я себе з ліжка підняла з такою незадоволеною. Ще ця спека нестерпна та й комарі

Hello there! It's been a week full of events. In addition to the work for which I am paid, I had a long todo list - calls and visits. It's finally Saturday, my day off that I plan to spend relaxing and

A thunderstorm rages outside the window. The sound of thunder is still similar to the sound of an explosion, but it's not so scary now. My friend called yesterday to say that she is leaving for Spain today.

All right. This post will be more positive because its main idea is appreciation. There are always things to appreciate even living in the middle of the war (or especially during the war), and I hope you
