Grateful and happy

Happiness is to wake up with a smile and the feeling "I'm so lucky". I'm so lucky for my loving family. The long family lunch yesterday, including my oldest friend who is family in mind but not in blood, is just one more dear example. Warm in heart by conversation and closeness and in body by gulasch and candles. Youngest nephew with his contagious laughter. Family dog competing for attention. Appreciation. Affection. Attachment.

Surprise visit from dear D all of a sudden in my hallway. Unexpected text messages from friends in the past. Getting the girls together for champagne and starter before continuing to the restaurant where we clearly laughed too much for the neighbouring tables liking.

A birthday to remember and a wonderful takeoff for life as one year older than the day before.
