how are you? how are you? I hope you're doing well. It's very curious that you're asking me about sports. As I've already told you, sports are my life. I have already written that I am a coach in the gym. And I often run and study outside. We have sports grounds that you can visit for free. BUT of course, most of the time I study in the gym.The weather is great here today, it was sunny almost all day, it was a little spoiled by a cold wind, but I like when the sun shines. Today I will finish my work early and go home, so my old friend wants to visit me. We went to school together and are still on good terms. Despite the fact that everyone has their own life, everyone is busy with family and household chores, we always find time to meet. So I still have to go to the store and buy something for dinner. I've already told you that I love cooking. My mother taught me how to do this since childhood, she had many different cookbooks and I remember looking at pictures as a child.I don't do charity work. Once I bought food for the animals that are in the shelter. And that's probably all I can say. Also, I often give my things, which I hardly wear, I give them to the church. I guess I'm not an altruist. But I'm glad you're doing it. Maybe if I had a higher income, I could also give some of the money to more needy people.
Thank you so much for your letter. Of course it made me happy again. Now, when I write you an answer, I'm sitting with a smile on my face. These are really very unusual emotions. I'm used to communicating with people directly, but not through letters. Nevertheless, I really like our meeting. Please send me a photo, because I think that this way we can learn more about each other's lives. By the way, for some reason in Russia, after a divorce or the death of her husband, many women choose the path - to go on alone in life. I do not know what this is related to. We have such a thing as a Decembrist's wife. In royal times, the Decembrists ( these are the upper strata of the population who raised uprisings) were sent to Siberia, and the wives went into exile with him. I always wished my mother female happiness, but she said that she was calmer alone and I never talk to her about it, because that's her choice. Well, I guess that's where I'll finish my letter. I'm looking forward to your answer. Elena
