Happy

Things that make me happy right now:

:: we booked flights for an impromptu visit to The Netherlands in September. Orignally we planned to wait until December, but we both felt we needed to go earlier. We’ll be staying for a week only , but we already planned a visit to each of the girls’ homes and a gathering at our place with all of them. Of course we will be visiting my father too. It will be extremely busy, but I’m really looking forward to it.

:: I’ve been writing! I feel like maybe I shouldn’t jinx it, after years of writer’s block, but I have added 2,000 words to a story that has been sitting in my drafts for over two years.

:: the cushion covers I bought for our (outside) couch. The old ones were literally falling apart, so it was time. I really love this color.

:: there was enough of the blue yarn to finish that last stripe after all. Small victories…

:: flowers. Even though we’re now in the hottest and most humid period of the year, nature is not suffering any more (thanks to the humidity, I guess). Trees and plants are flowering.
