Hi friends,
I came to this community by chance after reading my friend @amiegeoffrey post and after reading a few posts I've decided to participate in the initiative "A Simple and Thoughtful Life: CONTEST ".
1. The closest beach to my house
The sea and in particular this beach that I am sharing with you is for me the perfect place for reflection. It is an uncrowded beach, with pebbles and where sunbathing is complicated by the annoying stones. However, for me it is a place of relaxation because of the tranquillity that is successful almost any day of the year.
Additionally, it is the place where I learned to fish with my late father. It is the place where I found a greater connection with my father and it is the place where I like to retreat to when I am not feeling well and somehow reunite with him. That spiritual reunion in this place is definitely a dose of strength and joy every time I go there.
2. A smile from my cousin
I don't have children, but I love children. I especially love being with my cousin Natalia. Her joy and her smile is undoubtedly an important support for me.
That smile and those eyes that transmit innocence is an important point to have a happy day.
3. Friendship
My friends are the family I have been able to choose and for me they are my brothers. To be with them is to forget about problems no matter how hard the situation is. With them until the end of the world because they are healthy people and I know that in any situation they will be there to help me and I will be there to help them in whatever they need.
I love them and without them I could not be who I am and I would certainly lack joy, so they could not be missing from this list.
4. Nature
Natural environments are my passion. I like to go anywhere where there is no big city. I like small villages lost in the mountains and I like to go for a walk breathing clean air, listening to the birds and the flow of the rivers, so I can connect with my inner self more intensely.
An example are the mountain routes in the region of Spain where I live (Asturias), where the green colour and the mountains relax the soul and gladden the heart.
5. My camera
It is the only object that can enter the top 5 of things, people or environment that make me happy.
Seeing the life that surrounds me through the lens of the camera allows me to review moments and details that I had missed in the first place because of the speed at which life pushes us.
Best regards.
