Laying in the dark looking at the clouds drifting by the moon. Feels like being five again.

Tonight was kind of the essense of my gratitude blog. Have gathered the people around us whom we owe so much gratitude for all they've done the last two years when we really needed them. Absolutely grateful for the chance to throw these wonderful friends a summer thanksgiving dinner on this perfect warm, sunny evening with a full moon iluminating the sky when gathered around the bonfire.

Preparing for "thanksgiving" tomorrow. Out shopping for the dinner, and manage to get back 3 minutes before this sky opens.

Didn't like noticing that the leaves were obviously turning yellow even though we're only by the end of August! Did however enjoy the pulse of Copenhagen, spending the entire workday there today. Grateful for the change. Also in seasons even though spring and summer is my absolute favorites!

Grateful for being able to spend a workday with my daughter while she was doing intership - a task given by her school. Telling her about my job and truly being able to tell her that what I do is everything I've ever dreamed of, job wise at least, and taking he out for bagel & ice coffee for lunch. Looking so much forward to listening to her presentation Friday. A presentation about wishes and dreams for her work future.

Our outdoor-sleepover-shelter is almost ready!

A beautiful summer morning at my parents' place.

Waking up in my old room. Eating breakfast with my parents in the dining room. Walking barefoot babysteps in the sun on the big soft lawn. Tasting blackberries in the backyard. In an hours or so all of my closest birth family is gathered. Lots have changed over the years, and troubles and worries haven't passed us by! But right now, at this very moment, I feel calm and grateful.

Almost there. Back to the far far West to spend the weekend with my parents and to celebrate my dad. Grateful!!
