gratitude list

I guess most of us remember well where we were on this day 10 years ago. Although many ugly/ cruel/ terrible things happen all the time, the terror attack on the twin towers will be burned into my mind forever. I was sitting in the office (I worked for the Railways in Switzerland at this time) when I heared about the first plane crashing into the first tower. We turned up the volume of the radio and heared live how the secon plane crashed. I immediately knew that this was terror attack. I just knew. Luckily I did not have a TV- the pictures in the newspaper were terrible enough...

So while remembering this terrible day I think it is in the same time good to make another gratitude-list... to enjoy and be grateful for the small, good things in our life...

Nature:

-          A fresh breeze on a hot day

-          A red dragon-fly on a rock beside the pool

-          The many stars on the dark sky

-          A chameleon in the garden- what an amazing animal!

-          Leaves turning yellow

Family:

-          Sitting in front of the computer with Helen half asleep on my lap, snuggled tightly against me.

-          Playing football (soccer) with Neomi

-          Taking the girls out for a bike ride in their bike-trolley.

-          After-shower-time with the girls, lying on the bed and laughing and giggling…
