another week, another promise! CELEBRATE. just celebrate the little things. why dont' we huh? why are we so stucked on the everyday life, that we can't even enjoy the birds chirping now spring is in the air. see flowers trying to come out of the ground. listen to beautiful music. being able to read! there are so many 'little things' that make life beautiful. i really have to tell myself to look around me and see what magic we live in.
(last few days we had ice on the water next to our garden, so we were iceskating in our own backyard! how freaking cool was that? talk about making memories!
journaling of my page is in Dutch and scroll down for the english version:





what i wrote down for this week:
CELEBRATE. the little things. such a beautiful promise to myself. CELEBRATE the F*CK out of life! look how many beautiful things there are to celebrate. and strangely enough, i can get carried away with reaching goals, to pursue converting, getting more followers on social media, having more orders... but stop and think how beautiful it is to live in this beautiful home, to wake up while the birds are chirping in the trees next to our bedroom? that Sanne has the time of her life because all the swans, ducks, coots and any other animal come cruising by and she can feed them, almost out of her hand! that Ruben (and Sanne!) can build their own treehouse in the biggest tree in our garden, a weeping willow. that we can live our lives the way we do now, and barely have to worry. that i can enjoy my kids intensely when i hear and see them play together and complete story lines pass by :). i truly promise myself to stop and watch & listen and realize that there is so much to celebrate in life right NOW.
