I really need to stop waiting the last minute to write those posts! But I like to leave Fridays a chance to surprise me… Okay, that, and it appears Fridays are always super busy…
Welcome to today’s Happy Friday! My remedy against feeling down is to make a list of all the good things in my life. It can be anything. Really, anything. The smallest gesture from a stranger can change your day, if you open your eyes. Now, I am a pessimistic and I need daily reminders to look for the bright side. Maybe you are too, or maybe the state of our world is weighing on you. In any case, here’s your shot at some happy things!
- Video calls with friends. I am not used to it, talking on the phone scares me a bit as I’m always dreading not having anything interesting to say. Still, seeing friendly faces beats anything!
- Puppy photoshoot! I swear the dogs hate me. I am their official paparazzo! 🤣
- My diverse diet is keeping me happy, haha!
- I was a chat moderator for Noir at the Bar this week. First time ever! I loved getting the chance to help and I feel very lucky. AND SO HAPPY TO HAVE A PURPOSE!
Ps: Can you feel I miss working??? - Running for 20 minutes straight. If you’d told me this a few months ago, I would have laughed at your face and said it was impossible. But it happened. And now I’m eating twice as much as before as my body is adapting to getting fitter and more active. I love eating, so it’s a win-win!
- I now have mastered the art of the short shower! 2 minutes max! No time or water wasted! For someone who enjoys spending an hour pampering herself, it’s a miracle…
- Listening to audiobooks at night when everyone is sleeping is bliss.
Stay safe, do what makes you happy and what relaxes you. Love, laugh, be kind to yourself, and share the positivity ❤️

Aww that face! Maybe you can do a job in animal photography soon, you have a lot of practice 😁. Seriously in awe how you can do a 2 min shower too!

Hahaha, yes! I should become a professional dog photographer!
As much as I enjoy showers, post-running ones are simply to get rid of the sweat and pollution, so it’s easier to make them quick! xx

Your running challenge is going amazingly. Well done. Love your multi diet, looks tasty.
My waves include:
Tasty enchiladas made by myself.
Coffee and cake breaks in the afternoon.
Sun shining in my windows, even if I’m inside the sun makes me happier.
Lots of love Amanda xx

Ah, you can make the breakfast croissants and ?? the other French thing you mentioned that I didn’t know what they were, and I can make enchiladas for dinner. We would have a great day. 💖

What made me happy this week was reading Katerina Diamond’s new novel in the sun, bookish Twitter, going on a long walk with the hubby 🥰 I don’t think I’ll ever master a 2-minute shower 😂

Yay for all of this! I love Twitter, it makes me feel I’m still part of my tribe, even if I’m back in France for now.

I LOVE these although the picture of mcdonalds is making me crave one sooo bad. I can’t wait until lockdown is lifted here and my closest one is open. I love the idea of a positivity wave, i’m trying to be more actively positive in my life right now!
