Sometimes...

 

Sometimes I feel down, I think about lots of things, I question things, I question why some people do certain things, I wonder why some things are the way they are and then I stop.

Sometimes I need to be reminded of what makes me smile, what makes my heart skip a beat, what makes me shed a tear of joy, what makes every day worthwhile.

Sometimes I need to remember a few of the moments that make me love life


this guy is my everything, my partner in life, father of my little beings, my support, my heart, my family, the love of my life, the calm in my life and many a times my personal navigation system

 drinking yummy tea makes me feel warm and nurtured from the inside



baking yummy bread for my family, here's the recipe

receiving beautiful flowers on sad days


What do you do when you feel down?

How do you, as Amelie says, "turn that frown upside down"? 

Have you had one of those moments today? 

Hugs for a wonderful September ♥
