FINDING THE TIME

Seeing the miracle in waking up everyday. Not sweating the small stuff. Smiling when it rains. Finding the time. Not regretting. Loving more than you thought was possible. Constantly being amazed. Taking a different road. Taking an unknown road. Taking a break. Learning something new. Allowing to be surprised by yourself and others. Embracing change. Gazing at the stars. Eating one last cookie. Hitting the gym. Needing less. Breathing. Pausing. Starting all over again. Forgiving.

All things of the above I have yet to master. This is the art of living, el arte de vivir, or l'art de vivre. It just sounded better in french. Everything sounds better in french, just as everything tastes better with butter...

I've been meaning to start this blog for a couple of years now. I never found the time. I am writing my first post as my husband watches a foreign film (very loudly I must say) and my 4 year-old sings Old McDonald had a farm...the point is, I finally found the time. I owed it to myself. I will find the time whenever I see something I like, I read something I'd like to share with you, I learn something new, or visit a new place.

I'm new at this. Blogging, writing, pausing. So please forgive me already for the many mistakes I will probably make, for I will learn as I go. You're most welcome to join my journey and use this space to share whatever defines your very own art de vivre.
