because happiness lies in small things...

Happy to have the summer weather is back to normal. I mean, usually I melt at 27 degrees but today’s weather made me what to walk a lot as it was so nice!

Accompanied my friend looking for wedding outfit - loving it! I love being stylist 🙂 and she « paid » by inviting me for basque cheesecake - coffee - gyoza bar! So goooood. Thank you !

Grateful that I afford my haircut today (feel fresh and gorgeous) and I was even offered citron cake and coffee Hahahha merci !

Happy for the aircon bus!Thankful for having friend I can borrow things for this weekend’s wedding !

Grateful to afford coffee and snack outside today, worked my cv a bit, and worked on my new website too.

Happy to meet my asso friend and discussed things for our association, projects and future stuff !

Happy to just browse and helping my friend choose tiles for her apartment 😜

Happy to see golden sky at golden hour - at home

Grateful for taking the bus instead of the metro - and it had blasting air con🤩

Bonne fête nationale !

Saw patrouille de France on time. That and planes defile always make my 14 of July !

Rather a cooler day compared to yesterday, so happy that I could breathe at home😌

Mundane Monday morning with laundry and happy to have the place only for me and it was just cleaned 😄

Grateful that today’s heatwave is bearable despite 36 degrees and I could work at home with open windows as there was winds !!!!!! Ahhhh so relieved 😊 I mean I still have multiple showers but less 😄

I am just grateful that I am alive, and still have a wish to do sports (indoor though !), making lunch from scratch and could still enjoy some documentaries between multiple showers 😅

I am grateful that in this heatwave, I have what I need at home (well except the aircon) but I have electricity, water, ice cream, coconuts water…🤓

Grateful to recover myself at home - and went out for couple of hours to meet friends and got home again and snoozed in front of Belgium vs Spain 😜

Grateful for my body and cells and muscles conspired to make my daytrip happened well amid the heat. Got my feet soaked in Loing river, eating bergamot ice cream, full blast aircon train and we got the train from and to Paris in time, had great coffee at my friend’s coffee shop and he even offered a great new favourite of line Li Erica coffee from East Java for free, I stopped by at my friend’s restaurant and had fried tofu and refreshing ice tea, and France won 2-0 against Morocco in World Cup 🙂

Survived another heatwave day. And I kept my good mood. Proud of myself 😉

Grateful for my free osteopath this morning - he did help a bit with my piriformes and psoas issues !

Grateful I had means to buy lunch and coffee(despite I already spent money for this week’s groceries). Grateful to find a nice spot by the Seine - under the tree. I confirm that trees help during heatwave 😞

Happiness is having friend over from Netherlands and weather was bearable despite quite hot. Able to have coffee and walk ( 15 km today !!) and it was nice ☺️

Happy is to see the color of the sky after sunset. Indescribable colors but it made me grateful just to look at the sky and have that in my city ! The place that people make bucket list with. And I have that here🥹

My gratitude today is that I received more in government aid (I know it should be temporary !!!! ) and I could do loadsa laundry, bought groceries and survived another heatwave. I even managed to work at home and there was breezy air (before the heat gets absorbed by the wall hehehehe)

Turns out it starts getting hot again outside - I knew it after being at home chilling and felt good - and I went outside to go to library to get some books. The hot weather hit but it was not like the heatwave the other week. People flocked the mall for sale shopping and outside just to be outside. But I am happy that my place is still quite ok under the heat !

Happy to get 2 books from library and have long weeks to return !

Happy is to follow invitation along to jazz festival that takes place in my second house - so it’s like walking down memory lane at the lake listening to Gaby Hartman and also got invited to casino theatre as my friend’s ex student played there and invited us in 😍

I love free stuff lol😙 nice evening and nice dinner and super nice weather 😚

Surprised and happy to find accidentally AI feature on canva that could help redesign my page. Where have I been? It’s not perfect but it gave me ideas ! 😏

Second half of the year and no confirmed job or income but I am grateful to afford my rent this month !

I am thankful to live in intra muros that I could just walk to anywhere and go read my book at whatever lush garden and today is the one across Notre Dame on the left bank side 🙂

Happy to meet my paris family accidentally and catching up a little bit.
