#26: Rain and Snow
Last Sunday morning, I got a glimpse of a mix of rain and snow while I was working out at the gym. It was a beautiful sight that I don’t get to see so often. I could not look away for a few minutes. It was raining on my way to the gym but that turned in to a mix of rain and snow. I am grateful for that moment.
#27: Diving Hawk
This week I am grateful for another beautiful sight that actually happened today. The sun came out today after about a week of dark grey clouds. I typically enjoy all weather patterns from rainy and snowy days to sunny days. But this week I actually missed the sun. I have been prescribed vitamin D in the past during winter time because I become deficient of it with less time in the sun and my skin tone. But the sun finally came out today. While on a walk, I saw a big white and brown hawk diving straight down with immense focus and agility.
I was captivated for a few seconds before it disappeared behind tall maple trees. The sun reflected really well on it’s brownish white feathers. The scene lasted a few seconds but it was breathtaking. I am grateful to having witness that moment today.
#28: Kenyan Tea
I am not sure if I have already wrote this is the past but I am very grateful for Kenyan tea this week. Tea is a big part of Kenyan culture. People are usually surprised when I share that I started drinking tea (with caffein) as young 3 years old. Most of my Kenyan friends and family members had the same upbringing. I LOVE Kenyan tea. I drink Kenyan tea every morning. When I am able to, I love to slow down and savor every sip. This brings me a lot of joy. There is a lot of scientific research that suggest savoring can be a big source of pleasure and increased happiness and wellbeing. So this week I am very grateful of Kenyan tea and the moment to savor it
#29: Brunch
Last Sunday I went to brunch with my girlfriend at a diner that is 4 minute ride from our apartment. Naturally, I brought my Kenyan tea with me. I ordered a western omelet which came with home fries and toast. My mouth is getting watery again thinking about it. It was so good!! Thank you so much local diner. You will be seeing me again soon.
Here it is…
#30: Finding Parking Just in Time
This week I had planned to visit my old place of employment. I was running behind on time and I wanted to bring donuts for my former coworkers. I was driving around for a while around the donut shop without any luck. Just before I gave up hope, a spot right in-front of the building became available. That allowed me enough time to get the donuts and make it there on time but I was cutting it close. It was wonderful to see my former coworkers. Thank you all for a very warm welcome back and for the pizza. You know me so well.
