Slow Saturday afternoon. I’m enjoying a cup of tea and wondering around. I’ve already bought all the Christmas gifts. Waiting for them to be delivered. I can’t deal with the mall crowd these days, so it’s much easier to get everything online. 

I opted for simple and meaningful gifts, mostly handmade items from small online shops. I know they are made with love and intention, and at the same time, I’m making the maker and the receiver happy.  

I shortened the list too. Outside of my family, I’m only getting gifts for 3 co-workers and my personal trainer. These are people I see every day and are always there for me. 

Noticing how making life simple is rewarding!

Cheerful! I’ll try to be cheerful for now on, I was turning myself into a bitter woman. This year hasn’t been easy for me, so I started to live in a defense mode, thinking that everybody was against me. I was hurting myself and hurting loved ones. These last weeks were horrible, I completely lost mind.

I started an online writing course on Monday, Write 21.  We need to focus on just one thing for 21 days, something we want to accomplish, to get better on …, I’ve recognized that I need to rescue myself back from the darkness, and one way to do it is being cheerful towards others and mainly towards me. 

To my surprise, it’s working! I’m feeling much better. In these 2 days I’m practicing to be cheerful, I’ve talked with people that before I only said hello and turn my face away, I’ve smiled more, I let go of bad thoughts, and I’m not bringing work problems to home. I’m not sure how long it will last but I’m trying to make being ‘cheerful’ a habit! 

Have a nice Friday my friends!

November is here with its the coziness and colours. It’s time to reflect and be present. It’s also the gratitude month. A long time I don’t write a gratitude list, I think about things I’m grateful for, but I haven’t put them on paper. Now it’s the right time for it.

Have a blessed November!

Good Morning!

This pretty white mushroom is on my backyard, the only one white. We have plenty of brown ones.

It’s so pretty, I can see it from my kitchen door. I love the contrast with the green grass.

I was curious to know if it was edible or not, so I googled white mushrooms and the first sentence I read was “the most deadly mushrooms in the world are white“. Well, my gorgeous white mushroom will be there decorating my garden for how long it wishes!

“All mushrooms are edible, but some only once in a lifetime.” unknown

Have a great week my friends!
