8th day - 5 things TODAY

Champex-Lac

Listened to Beethoven. I grew up listening to folk and country music. Classical music is so foreign to me. Then in one of my attempts to become a more cultured human being, I visited a disc shop (years ago) in Place de Bel-air and the sales staff recommended Vivaldi's Four Seasons but my repertoire stopped there. Now, in introducing myself to another classical piece, I am giving another experience to my brain.
Showed up. I did not feel like typing anything because the comfort of the bed was calling me but here I am.
Journal. Writing my thoughts on a paper is still one of the things I like to do. It's like my morning conversation with God.
The pathway. Every day it is strewn by dried leaves and sweeping it clean reminded me of my chores growing up back home. I didn't like doing it at that time, however, it became something of a mindfulness practice. My mind does not wander, I am PRESENT.
Ginger tea. Reduces inflammation.

How can I stop looking up the sky? With it's beauty that never ceases to amaze me.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin

Light in the sky

For a long time I am fascinated by the sky, but this has been fuelled up when I joined Sky Watch Friday . I am really thankful for this!
