Onto the 4th week - 5 things TODAY

That wonderful feeling of accomplishing something, that overflowing joy of just looking at the garden, and the gratitude that goes with it.

I was thinking of using despite but refrained from doing so. Whatever I write has also an impact on me and the realization that this has to change has thrilled me in no end. I am now carefully choosing my words and thoughts.

5 things TODAY:

The rain. It rained and the garden looked vibrant. Everything's growing and at the same time coming to its final phase. I left an overripe tomato on the ground and the husband saw a slug on it.
Vermicelli salad. I am getting good at it.
Rest. For me, it's the synonym of listening to your body. Chores at home are endless nonetheless I have to own up to the fact that I'm not in my 30s.
Family. I am elated to see my daughters and their cousins growing up so fast. There are times when I miss when they were small yet I am grateful that they are discovering life on their own.
Being. This is what I am learning to practice instead of doing. My to-do list is full of the latter and healing my body as well as my mind requires to Be which means heart, essence, to live, to exist, or to have life.

Love & blessing.

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...

I wonder...

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

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!
