Hugh, from Hugh’s Views & News, for Sunday Stills.
I haven’t joined a challenge for so long, but being a friend of Hugh for many years, I’ve decided to give it a try.
Today Hugh asks us to write about windows. This is my view, right now, from my living room window. I’m wondering if I’ll be able to go out.

We had a massive snow storm yesterday, we were snowed in all day. Not being able to move the car for grocery shopping, my refrigerator is empty! Being at home all day with 2 teenages, you can imagine…

View from my kitchen window during the storm, it’s so pretty, but not easy to handle. I spent the day baking, journaling and drinking lots of tea to keep warm.
Now the last one is the view to my backyard, the sun is shining but it’s very cold, – 13 degrees Celsius, and again I’m wondering how many layers I’ll have to dress up to go out!

Hope you enjoy your Sunday, and check Hugh’s blog for joining the challenge or wondering about windows.

Soon to be a frozen river! Isn’t it delighting when we stop and watch the process, little by little the power of transformation?

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!

New month on the way! Can you believe it? December is here!
I’m starting with blanks pages, hoping to fill up them with happiness thoughts and achivements.
Wishing a wonderful month to you!

i’m trying, but it isn’t easy. my mind is putting me down. it’s cold and grey, the stillness is making tired, the silence, that i used to enjoy, is making me crazy.
Longing for a person I’ve never been
Longing for a time I’ve never spent
Longing for a person I’ll never see again
Longing for a dream
Longing for myself

noticing the whiteness
the stillness
paying attention
listening to the Earth breath
silence

autumn mystery
happiness along the leaves
welcoming the new
Happy weekend 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!
