(Today's snap I took on a weekend trip a while back.)At least where I am, today was a peaceful day. Munchkin #1 is about to begin his afternoon session of his sport of choice. Munchkin #2 is at a playdate over at a friend's house. The friend's family trains falcons for 'sport'.
This morning, I worked out, cleaned my kitchen, vacuumed the flat and mopped. A dear friend, I'll call her B, came over with her 3 week old son. Her mini-munchkin was sound asleep, so we took him with us for a walk and coffee. He slept the whole time B and I were out and about. We finished the afternoon with a quiet chat at my flat.
Upon picking my munchkins up from school, I sat at the school and chatted with another good friend while munchkins did homework - a very pleasant way to spend 45 minutes!
And now, I'm sitting in a cafe wasting a bit of time on my computer....
It's not an exciting life some days, but I'm very thankful for my peaceful existence. Being an ex-pat can be very lonely at times. We live isolated and far away from family and life-long friends. We deal with things in our day to day lives that would stress out many people. It's a huge blessing to have a peaceful day that is quiet, productive and filled with laughter and love. But, that would be a blessing anywhere.
Peace.
