#5 What are you grateful for?

Hello all you English Fans!

Since we can’t ignore the fact that the Coronavirus is the central theme at the moment, I thought I would take this time to help shift the focus a little in this strange but real situation.

Personally I’m experiencing different emotions. On the one hand I’m quite relaxed about everything and am happy to go with the flow. On the other hand I'm going through a range of emotions as I notice how people’s lives are being rearranged by this situation.

I am taking this opportunity to reflect on life, the universe and everything. And learning to trust the process of life. How are you responding to it? Is life carrying on as normal for you? Are you being more creative? Have you got more on your plate than usual? Maybe you need to stay home with your kids or stay home altogether because you have been quarantined.

So, with all these thoughts running through our heads I thought we could think about this question “What can I be grateful for in my life right now?” It could be the tiniest thing. For me it's my beautiful flowers that are blooming on my balcony and the fact that I can have afternoon coffee with my partner on a Tuesday afternoon.  What are you grateful for? Write it down – in English:)

I have an evening ritual where I write down three things every day which I'm grateful for and it always cheers me up.

Come share your bright moments with me on the

On that note:

Stay healthy
