Beautiful PragueĮverything about this place is enchanting, the people, the culture, the architecture, the atmosphere upon my return home I would experience goose bumps every time I relived my stay in Prague. I do this in the hope that you may reflect on what you’re thankful for, what’s important to you, so that you may see clearer what brings colour to your world…. Today I wanted to include a review of chapter 58 from “ The Roman” (the final instalment to The Florentine Series) as well as some of my own experiences as a mark of thanks for two things that has given me great enjoyment and helped to bring colour to my world. The chapter devoted to this beautiful city invigorated my wonderful holiday memories. When reading “ The Roman” by the incredibly talented Sylvain Reynard (the author is another favourite of mine) I was delighted that the heroine of the story spent time in Prague. It’s a true reflection on how much the people of Prague appreciate and respect their historical home.

Formerly a part of Czechoslovakia, Prague became a democratic society in 1989 and I was surprised just how well preserved and maintained this Gothic City is. One of my favourite overseas ventures took me to Prague.

The memories of my overseas adventures are very dear to me and I’m very grateful I have been fortunate to experience them. Taking time for gratitude will also put into perspective what’s truly important to you. Looking for the light where you least expect it is often the pinnacle moment for turning life events around. Especially if life has taken unexpected turns or perhaps you’re facing unwanted challenges. Her words were… “Mum in your life time you have experienced married life, had a family, owned two homes and been to a number of countries overseas, there is much there to be grateful for.” She is right! I thanked her for reminding me of what is essential here… gratitude! My daughter is without doubt my most precious blessing.Īs you set your goals for 2018 take a moment to be grateful for your own achievements and experiences. While my compassionate and intelligent daughter acknowledged the happy times and the struggles (some years more difficult than others) she also indentified what’s most important. This conversation also saw us reflecting on previous years of our lives. Over breakfast one morning, we discussed what’s important to each of us not only for 2018 but also for the years to come. I recently sat down with my daughter and embarked on such a conversation, the result was enlightening. The start of each New Year brings the time for reflection, self evaluation, resetting of goals and priorities for many people. Welcome to Kez’s bookshelf for the first time in 2018. Reflecting on what brings you happiness is important As 2018 begins I’m taking the time for gratitude
