Embrace Joy
I’ve just noticed that my last ‘noticing’ post was in May! Oh my goodness! How the time flies and I let go of things that give me pleasure so easily!
First of all: Happy new season to you!
In my part of the world, we are entering Autumn. It’s so pretty out there! I had a long walk in the woods this weekend, noticing how slowly the changes are happing, how the earth is getting ready for the winter.
I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Noticing and slowly taking in all the beauty of spring.
Last Sunday, I had a long walk around the neighbourhood, 5000 steps! I spotted this rose bush on my way.
The poppies are gorgeous in a park close by.
During the week I walked by a path of gorgeous peonies. I wish I could put their fragrance in a bottle and bring it home.
And yesterday, at lunch time, I was surprised with the beauty of these alliums in the university campus.

Wishing a great week to you, and remember to slow down and enjoy a little bit of beauty on your way. It can be the beauty of the flowers if you are in spring or the beauty of the leaves if you are in the autumn. It can be a beauty of a smile, a hug, eye contact with a strange coming in your direction or a simple thank you when you weren’t expecting it.

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.
Rumi
Wildflowers are blooming in my garden. They are pretty, each one in its own way. They are looking for space, sharing the Earth and the sunshine.
listening to the wind, feeling it touching my skin and caressing my hair as i walk focusing on being present. isn’t’ it a wonderful mindfulness exercise?
have a great friday!
silence. walking and observing. it’s early morning, the dawn has just kissed goodbye, the sun is hiding behind the clouds. it’s cold, i’ve my hands in my pockets, only out for few seconds to snap this beauty. it’s worth each second. this moment is mine.
i could call myself a light-catcher.
silence and sunshine. five minutes of joy after the early morning rush.
have a great day!
