Hi Asia, reading your post, it strikes me how much you yearn to go home. I agree with the other encouraging comments. Time especially that with family is the most valuable commodity. It can never be replaced.

These are beautiful shots, Kim. I'm trying to imagine where this is exactly. Places hold memories and I hope that the next time you visit, a shift happens towards more happiness.

Rolling hills that are oh so green and so stunning! Well done on the 8 km hike! Interesting how the hues changed in 2 hours. I miss long walks in this type of landscape and the arrival of spring.

Hello Pauline! I'm grinning from ear to ear as I'm typing this 😁 so good to see you here again and I hope fingers crossed to be more present here. Happy Friday!

Awesome! so nice to see this again after a really long time.

Hi Sahiba, how have you been doing. Just popped in today and saw your comment. I haven't been back here in this coffee shop since January this year. Wishing you a happy Friday and a great weekend!

Glad to hear he can sleep immediately. Oh wow, that's a marvelous sunrise! Enjoy and have a blessed day ahead 😊
