Blissful moments

I’m at a point in my life where I am rediscovering a part of me, which has lain dormant through all my crazy, wild partying days.

I’m beginning to love more the quiet afternoon walks I have on sunny days. I love going through the forests and coming out of the woods greeted by the sight of glistening lakes with thick, green grassy banks where I can lie down and just gaze at the blue skies above…  I love  picking red and black wild berries shooting out from the thick bushes along the way, and the simple freshness of its texture and taste in my mouth there and then just makes me giggle like a child discovering her own world for the first time and being truly happy with it at that very moment!

I enjoy sitting at the canal cafes while reading my book or having afternoon tea with my friends; waving at the people on their boats passing by.

And yes, I love waking up to the aroma of fresh coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice on early chilly mornings, hangover-free! I look forward to all the excitement it brings to my senses! And when I see the rays of the sun gently breaking through the clouds, I take in all the beauty and crispness of daybreak and think to myself what a lovely day this will be!

These moments… so simple and yet, oh what joy they bring me!
