Count your blessings - August 2016
- Hugging 2 little boys on my lap
- Arriving home to find a neighbour boy and Kabouter together on the deck amidst a load of toy trucks
- Watching Beertje's face break into a big smile each time
- he wakes up and sees us around in the morning
- he discovers his baby friend in the mirror who observes him with big curious eyes.
- ... - Crossing our country on a "black traffic" Saturday without traffic jams thanks to some detours and the Waze app.
- A kid who waves from a car next to me while waiting at traffic lights. He's totally surprised that I answer his waving and stumps his brother and sister in the car to point at me, after which all 3 of them are waving. And so I'm waving back again at 3 grinning faces.
- A pheasant watching the traffic coming by all week on top of a pile of dirt along my commuting road.
The turkey that was wandering at the traffic lights with big open tale also made me laugh. - An adolescent that comes by racing on his bike "I thought I saw you dropping this", holding up the toy that you just realized Beertje was no longer holding in his hands during a walk.
- A stranger who overheard that you needed to find a public toilet for your toddler at the other side of a small festival and who opens up his house right next to you so you can use his bathroom.
- Enjoying a piece of cake with my parents, relax, amidst flowers outside
- Airco in the office on some days and free gazpacho for lunch
- A spare fleece in the office on other days
- My dad who was good enough to go home for a test weekend for the first time since Murphy messed up my parent's vacation and my dad's health condition 4 months ago.
