Silver sparkles

It is with a big smile that I close the last empty suitcase. Not only because after a few hours home, everything is back in place and I even managed to get some order in my wardrobe. The happy feeling is caused by the silver sparkles in my suitcase, spread by the token of my friends’ 25th wedding anniversary.

Yesterday I arrived home after 6 weeks in Europe. My batteries are re-charged by the love and friendship of family and friends. They are the silver sparkles in my mind, which make me smile while doing my daily chores. I want to thank everyone for the marvelous holiday, the magnificent parties, the wonderful “sleep-over’s”, the superb meals (lunch, dinner and breakfast!), the beautiful heart-warming conversations. At the same time I apologize for the family and friends whom I couldn't see. Time passed by so quickly!

I have made many plans and am starting this second year on Reunion Island with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Without my husband, I would never have gone out of my comfort zone, but I am grateful for the adventure and experience of our journey. I am confident that I can be happy ten thousand kilometers from home, with silver sparkles to lift my spirit!
