Gratitude

On Monday, we had FHE (Family Home Evening) at the senior couple's house. They had a wonderful lesson about gratitude, and it reminded me that I should be more grateful for what I have. They said something that stuck with me since: you cannot be happy without being grateful. To be honest, we all want to be happy, right? So the longer the list of things we are grateful for, the happier we are :D http://www.lds.org/topic/gratitude/ My list of things I am grateful for: - phone - I can talk to my family every day - camera - replaces my very poor memory - computer - keeps me in touch with people all around the world - food - it gets me in a very happy, positive mood - especially when shared with my friends and family - my job - being able to pay for the phone, computer and food - the sun - warms the water where I go swimming - dark clouds - bring sweet, summer rain and thunders :D - books - keep me company every day - people, nature, cars,.... Just looking at my list...

My first experiments with lightnings

A couple of nights ago we had an amazing lightning storm! Half an hour of lights and sounds :) All I can says is AMAZING! I am very lucky to live on the top floor of the building, and have a window right above my bed. I grabbed my camera, opened the window, stood with my head out, and took some pictures. They are not amazing, but I had a great time experimenting with my camera before the rain started, which forced me to go back in. Here are some pictures, just for fun :)
