After three weeks of "back to school", we are on vacation again. Yay or nay? 

Franchement? Je pense que, a ce moment-la, c'est pas tellement necessaire. Mais oui, c'est les vacances de la Touissant. Une semaine pour rien à faire :)

If there is one good thing that growing old has thought me, it is learning how to enjoy my time of being alone, my solitude. I learnt how to say "No, I cannot go out today." Not because I have somewhere else to be, or something else to do, but because I don't have the emotional or mental capacity to socialize, or to go out. I enjoy my time staying at home, listening to music while drinking my tea. I enjoy preparing my own food, and feeding myself. I enjoy doing yoga, even just for 20 minutes. I enjoy having apero by myself, a glass of kir in one hand, and a small plate of charcuterie. I enjoy reading, or watching a movie alone. I enjoy the little things. Busying myself with my plants, some house chores, writing, journaling,.. I appreciate the silence, the serenity, the slowness of time.

May people learn to normalise these. May people learn the power of saying "No".
