Lyon

We are in Lyon! We arrived on Monday late afternoon. Yesterday we went to the Old Lyon as well as visiting some beautiful churches. We had a picnic in one of the charming narrow streets and then got gelatto. I got... are you ready for this?.... Vanilla macadamia! I know, not chocolate or even strawberry? It was so delicious though and it had a touch of caramel. I``ve been craving Oakridge macadamian nut cookie so this ice cream hit the spot! Anyway, Ruby and I got Ari a present and I bought some post cards. Lyon is a beautiful city with lots of variety in buildings. You can see a Parisian-looking one then a modern office building then a medieval pink building, all on one street! The view from a certain hill was so pretty and the two rivers are very clean and pretty.
Today Genevieve brought us back a pain au chocolat and then we went to a park slash zoo. It was so pretty and walkig in the rain with nice umbrellas was so cozy and fun. We came home to make some lunch and now we are resting and might go back out later. Tomorrow we leave for Venice and are waking up at four! I will really miss France! And Genevieve and Chloe!! It has been amazing!

Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)

The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
