Three Wishes
I planned a completely different post for today, but, as often happens in our lives, the wind has changed its direction.
I was nominated by @Johannpiber for #three-wishes, initiated by @Guiltyparties.
My friend @Johannpiber set for me not an easy task.
There is something to think about. Challenge thrown up.
I support the desires and aspirations of my friends. Problems of global scale, affect everyone, this can not be indifferent. Today, this is a particularly hot topic, tragedy occurred, people in New Zealand died. They are Muslims, I am a Christian, but, it does not matter. I offer condolences to their families and friends. I was sad to read this news. We believe in one God, may He console the hearts of loved ones.
I will not touch global topics in this post. I saw different times of the socialist era, I was a rebel who refused to join the Komsomol, and I had my own point of view on global issues. In the days of the Soviet Union, when they did not know what to talk about, or, it was necessary to divert the attention of the people from acute problems, the question of world peace was always raised, or something like that. But, I want to be honest, before myself and before God. I seek His will in solving my problems and questions. This is a difficult task. She is constantly hampered by my pride and desire to run ahead of the locomotive.
When I wake up in the morning, I don’t think about hunger in Africa, about world peace and meteorites, which can fly very close and bring a new virus to Earth.
I am a happy person, I have four children and a granddaughter, I wake up next to the most beautiful woman in the world, I see her eyes and smile, I touch her gorgeous hair, I smell her and hear her gentle voice, can I something more to desire?
Probably only prolong this happiness as long as possible.
I looked at the retirement age in Austria, my friend @Johannpiber. Let my first wish be this - Live to your days of life, let it be a minimum program.
Wish number 1 (Time)
To live to the age of my friend @Johannpiber and then raise the bar to retirement age in Austria.
I would like to be as old and strong as this oak tree, to see my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but, near there should be a slender birch, my beloved wife.
A place in the sun, probably so I can name my second desire.
Wish number 2 (A place in the sun)
The last twenty years we have moved so often that I have already lost count of this move from place to place. Moldova-Ukraine-Moldova-Ukraine-Moldova-Ukraine is a long steam locomotive, we are tired. The fact that I'm out of work now reinforces this feeling. I beg God for understanding, why? When will this circle close and I stop? Today, I have no work, I am in Ukraine, but, we began to build our house in Moldova. Why? What was all this for? I want to get these answers and settle in one place.
Even this green grasshopper has its own green bush.
When I was building a house, I dreamed of having a cow and other animals.
I learned everything you need to know a beginner beekeeper, and even more. I saw a beehive with bees in my yard.
Flies will fly themselves.😊
I don’t know where I’ll go, and if I’ll leave at all, I don’t know, but I dream that the place where I will be with my family I could call my home.
My third desire, it is young, is over two months old, but it is very keen. It absorbs the two previous desires. Work. Yes, this will be my third wish.
Wish number 3 (Work)
I believe in Steem rapid growth. I believe that this is my long-term investment, but very successful. I want to believe in it.
But this, as they say, is warm for the soul, and for the stomach, something else is needed, something that will bring some stability. I have not been looking for work for the past seven years and did not know how difficult it is to find it today.
I can not say that despair does not knock on my door, sometimes she visits me, I give her a kick in the ass, but she is insistent and comes back to remind me of myself.
I am happy that my family supports me and believes in me, but, my desire, remains only my desire.
There is a positive side to all this, there is a time to look inside yourself and delve into your thoughts. At such moments, especially close to God is felt.
Great time!😊
Of course, there are more desires and they are different, but the conditions of this challenge are the Three Wishes.
Like this successful hunter Shrike, I froze on a flower in anticipation of the fulfillment of my desires.
Like my wonderful friend @Johannpiber, I have to nominate another candidate for this challenge. I have a feeling that I have to wake up my friend when he sleeps sweetly at home, I knock on the door with my boot.😊
Forgive my friend @Siggjo, dreams of a resident of northern and beautiful Norway, I want to hear from you.

I did not expect less from you, dear @barski 😊
The sentences about your family have touched me very much.
I wish that all your wishes come true, especially wish number 3, because with work your chance to get wish number 2 will raise, and a place in the sun will be there for you.
You want to get as old as I am? Hey, I am 25 ... sorry, I feel like 25 in my mind 😉
My goal is to become at least 100 years old (I have reached a bit more than half). Then I want to start thinking about leaving some day ;)
No, old age is not what I'm looking for)) I’m looking for your wisdom. More than 25 I did not give you))
Oh, you are in joking mode today :) ... me and wise, that's funny, honestly ;)
I think that at 57 years old, all are wise)) of course you are wise. One of the million proofs of this, because now you are on Steemit, not in the park, behind the domino game.
When I worked as a foreman on the construction of gas pipelines, I had many elderly people in my submission. Tractor drivers, excavators, locksmiths. They had a great experience of drinking vodka)) They told each other very clever things, it seemed that they were experts in everything and in all topics. But when they were sober, they were fools, for they needed to find something to drink with a degree. Experience is also not an indicator of wisdom. This is something that can be felt in the interlocutor, but it is difficult to describe in words.
You have been looking at our pension system and you counted right, but as I mentioned yesterday: You are still wrong ;)
I am 54, because I want to retire with 62, and I do hope that they don't change the law, so that retirement will then still be possible when I am 62.
Then I will have worked for about 43 years, what should be enough ;)😊
So, dear @barski, I have another 3 years to get wise, and maybe I will then sit in the park with all the other old guys, feeding the birds or playing domino or chess 😉
Not age makes you wise - experience,from which you learn from make you wise :)
Then, we are almost the same age)) 8 years of difference, it’s like two stops on the subway)) my daughters have more age difference)) I wish you to bypass all the obstacles and manage yourself, and chose the period when you retire.
Thank you so much young boy ;)
Oh, the second part was not there before ;)
... this is why I meant experience from which you learn from and I did not mean "learn what drink tastes best and makes me drunk faster" ;)
I know such people too and they are the same as you describe yours ...
A very touching post, being from New Zealand I to am feeling shock that this happened in New Zealand and feel for all the people involved and who have lost loved ones in this senseless violence
I was also touched by your reference to your family and your wishes, I know I havent known you for long but I feel you deserve for all your wishes to come true
Thank you very much @Tattoodjay ! I regret that you have to feel such pain about what happened in your country.
MOst welcome, violence anywhere in the world is painful to see or read about, times need to change there is too much senseless violence these days
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
