We rented a pedal boat. The three of us didn’t feel like going at first. We liked the idea but it seemed like a lot of efforts. Then I said: we should do it: we’ll be happy we did. So we did. Once in the middle of the lake we talked about swimming. The water might me cold, it might be hard to get back on the pedal boat… I said: we should do it: we’ll be happy we did. And we were. 

What could you do today that you argue with yourself about doing yet you’d be happy that you’ve done it?

When I am in France, I get excited when I get hungry because it means I’ll be eating yummy food soon!

Today, we’re going to a farmer’s market in Annecy: another treat for the senses!

What are your senses bringing you today that you are grateful for?

I received a text saying that my flight was delayed for 4 hours. 

This meant that I would miss my connection. My friend who was going to land 2 hours before me and was going to wait for me was now going to possibly have to wait 6 hours. 

So I started looking on the airline website for the new connection times and I remembered that there is an earlier flight leaving Vancouver. So I called the airline and lo and behold I was able to be booked on the earlier flight with an earlier connection. 

As a result my friend and I will now be on the same flight for the last leg of our trip! How does it get any better than that?

I am grateful for the magic I created!

What magic are you creating or noticing in your life?

Arriving in my childhood home is always a delight for my senses. The one that I want to share the most is climbing in a bed made with sheets that were dried outside in the sun. It feels so good!
I am grateful for all the little pleasures given by my senses. 

What are you grateful for, today?

I am grateful for the bus driver who when greeting people responded to someone asking how he was by “I am free… Drama free”…

How fantastic is that?

On my way out, I went past him and I said: “I am free too: free of drama”. He replied: “That’s the best way to be”.

Have a great drama free day!

I am grateful for my Happy Music playlist. I use it sometimes when I feel grumpy and it does the trick: totally changes my mood!What are you grateful for today? What are you finding beautiful or making your heart sing?

I am grateful for this radio show with Lisa showing me how I can increase my gratitude for the space I live in or work in…

I have worked with Lisa to reorganize our home back in February and I am still grateful for the results. 

This radio show came perfectly as I am moving my Vancouver room from North East Facing to North West facing. 

I have dreamt about a West facing window for years to be able to see sunset colors in the sky. 

I am grateful I got this opportunity.

I got to see the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra playing an outdoor concert in Whistler. It is such an amazing show in an amazing setting. 

I am fascinated by the conductor. For someone like me, who does not know much about music, I often wonder how the musicians can read their notes, play, watch and use the conductor’s cues, all at the same time. 

It also makes me think of the Apprentice Sorcerer depicted in a cartoon as the conductor of the magic he created. 

I am grateful for this reminder to be the conductor of my life, learning to move energies just like in a symphony.  

Recently, someone was mentioning the personification of the Universe that is possible in the question “how is the Universe supporting you today?

The way I see it, the universe is not deciding or judging who or what to support or not support. The universe just is. And by existing, the universe can be supporting or not. The question is about focusing on what is supportive of my life just because it is, so that it increases my ability to see the good things in my life. In a way, it has nothing to do with the universe. And at the same time, is it possible that including the Universe in my question would create more magic, just for fun?

I suppose I could also ask “how do I support myself today with what I focus on?” It’s just not as evocative for me…

So for today, how much magic (wonderful, exciting, fascinating, captivating, charming, glamorous moments) are you able to focus on?

  What an amazing day, Canada day.

In Canada, the national day is like national gratitude day. So many people are grateful to be calling Canada home (including me).

I am grateful to live in a country where most people are grateful they live here.
