This month.........

This month has been a wonderful month

for many reasons:

*finally accepting that I am where I am meant to be

(and finally stopped resisting "what is" on so

many levels)

*wonderful birthday celebrations for my Dad

(something at times I thought I would 

never see)

*watching my Dad's  constant happiness + appreciation 

for the simplest things that are done for him

*celebrating with family in Switzerland

(my Aunt reminded me that

I used to watch Roger Federrer + 

my cousins practise tennis years ago as

his family were neighbors! What a small world)

*rushing back to the UK to welcome friends

over from Spain

*lots of cooking and eating

*basking in the UK sunshine 

one minute and walking in a downpour

the next

*enjoying the tranquility of a gorgeous garden

with just the sound of birdsong and water features

for company

*the joy of disconnecting from technology and

enjoying stacks of magazines/books + long

conversations with loved-ones

*the silence of not needing to talk, but knowing

you are surrounded by people you love 

*loving the unpredictability of 

northern European weather

(I promise I really don't miss

the Spanish heat at all)

*the happiness of ideas

*the triumph of understanding

*the joy of creativity

*dew on bare feet

*the smell of freshly cut grass

*the sound of cow bells in the Alps

*the joy of seeing my luggage first on

the carousel ;-)

*the joy of knowing I am needed

*belly-laughs

What made you smile this month?
