Count your blessings - August 2020

1. My abundantly flowering lavender full of fluffy bees zooming in the flowers
2. Plucking and eating fresh tomatoes from the farm or from our vacation garden
3. Going on a gorgeous evening walk with a friend in an unkown nature area that turned out to be very beautiful
4. Chatting extensively with a friend
5. The faces of the children when they are "frozen" in the game 1-2-3 piano
6. Finding a spot to go last minute on vacation
7. Building a sand castle on the beach with the children
8. Spotting seals swimming by at short distance
9. French saucisson...artisanal, not the industrial stuff we have in any supermarket. Those saucissons that make your entire house smell like delicious saucisson. 
10. Eating fruits de mers
11. Snoozing in bed while listening to the rest of the house waking up.  Resting in solitude until you hear coffee is brewed. 
12. Reading books and watching Netflix
13. Spotting deer during an evening walk
14. Learning to play chess with Kabouter
15. Riding a bike along the dunes
16. Watching breathtaking sunsets at the beach
17. Clean windows
18. 2 full weeks with average sleep well above 8 hours per night (creating a first since ages a month average above 8 hours)

This is a monthly list of simple things in my life that make me happy or that make me smile.  

As the world often seems full of negativity and disaster, I want to pay attention to these small things that make me happy in my daily life and be grateful for them. You can find all of them via this link
