Probably you are expecting to find some egg dyeing ideas as Easter approaches, but today, let’s take a moment to reflect on something special.
Why is Easter truly meaningful to me? Back when we were younger, my brother and I would always have friendly competitions to see who could create the most beautifully dyed eggs or come up with the most creative ways to use natural ingredients. Whether it was onion skins, delicate wildflowers for intricate patterns, or meticulously carving designs with melted wax, it was always a joyous time. The week leading up to Easter was filled with the tradition of washing flowers, a lovely ritual symbolizing beauty, health, strength, and wisdom.
I cherished those little traditions of egg dyeing, where my brother’s talent always shone through. Despite any challenges we faced, we eagerly anticipated the holiday season. Our gifts were never extravagant, just simple sweets and warm hugs. One Easter stands out in my memory when, amidst a playful argument about my artistic skills, my brother surprised me with a homemade board game—”Don’t be angry man”! He crafted a board out of cardboard, intricately adorned with all the details, and molded small figurines from clay. It was a heartfelt gesture that brought tears to my eyes.
Each Easter without him feels a bit heavier, as he was the one who always brought that special joy to the holiday. I regret the silly arguments we had and wish I could turn back time.
Therefore, this Easter, let’s embrace peace and let go of any tensions or disagreements. Take a moment to appreciate the blessings of health and happiness with your loved ones. Tomorrow, you can return to the hustle and bustle of daily life, but for today, let’s play a game of “Don’t be angry man” and count our blessings.
Wishing you a joyous and meaningful Easter!

Prica o Uskrsu
Verovatno ocekujete da procitate ideje za farbanje jaja posto nam se blizi Uskrs, medjutim, poenta ovog bloga je da vas podsetim na nesto drugo.
Zasto je zapravo Uskrs za mene tako poseban? Dok smo bili mladji, “takmicila” sam se uvek sa mojim bratom ko ce ofarbati lepse jaja i smisliti neko inovativno resenje kako upotrebiti prirodne sastojke i skloniti svu tu farbu. Obicno je to bila lukovina i pre toga je sledilo ili umotavanje i biranje najfinijeg divljeg cveca kako bi ostala sara na jajima ili rezbarenje topljenim voskom. Nedelja pre toga bi zapocela obaveznim i tradicionalnim umivanjem cvecem, takozvana “cvetna nedelja” i opet je to bio izlet u biranju najmirisnijih vrsta koje predstavlja simbol lepote, zdravlja, snage, pameti, itd.
Obozavala sam te nase male obicaje farbanje, gde je on naravno uvek briljirao posto je bio ultra talentovan i ma koliko da nam je bilo tesko, uvek smo jedva cekali praznike. Nismo nikada dobijali velike poklone, osim po slatkis i mnostvo zagrljaja. Bas jednog Uskrsa kada sam bila besna na njega jer me zadirkiva kako lose crtam i da prestanem da brljavim, on je odlucio da mi napravi drustvenu igricu-“Ne ljuti se covece”! 😦 Jedan od mojih prvih Uskrsnjih poklona i prva igra koju smo ikada imali! Malo je reci da sam preplakala. Od kartona je napravio plocu sa sve precizno isaranim detaljima a od plastelina male coveculjke.
Naravno da smo izlizali tablu od igranja jer ja nisam mogla doci sebi od radosti. Ma svima sam dosadjivala.
I znate sta, svaki Uskrs bez njega na ovom svetu je pretezak. Jer je on uvek donosio tu radost praznika. I meni bude toliko krivo zbog tako nekih besmislenih svadja koje smo imali.
Zato zelim da vam kazem, bar na Uskrs, budite u miru i zaboravite samo eto na taj dan sve nemire, svadje, postalalice.. ne znate koliko ste srecni ako imate sve ljude koje volite zdrave i srecne. Sutradan se opet ljutite, ali bar na taj dan uzmite i odigrajte jednu partiju “Ne ljuti se covece” i zahvalite nebesima na svemu sto imate.
Srecan Uskrs!
