Collect moments, not things. 💙
Focus on where you are, not where you were or where you want to be. Sometimes we tend to be stuck in our past, or we worry too much about our future instead of focusing on our present life. Let’s not waste energy thinking about what could have been or what will be. This is something that I am working myself on a daily basis: to express gratitude for my life and for all the wonderful people that are part of it. It is not always easy I will admit, but I do try to put my energy in what is happening in the present moment rather than over-thinking over something which is not existing or never existed. Life changes constantly and we cannot control her too much. So let’s be contented with what we have and the bliss will follow… 🌿
“Third time’s a charm.” Yup, it really was. Last week I had the privilege to climb the Acatenango volcano for the third time (yes, I do love hiking, a lot) with my lovely parents. It wasn’t planned, but luckily our excursion was scheduled during the day/night of the full moon. We heard from a few locals that, apparently, volcanoes are more active during that time (similar as the effects on the ocean tides). I don’t know if it’s the luck my parents brought or if that full moon myth is true, but I finally got the fire show I wanted. We were rewarded all day and night with constant eruptions from Fuego, one of the most active volcanos in the world! 🌋 How special was it to share this incredible experience with my two favourite traveling buddies. Sometimes the best things happen unexpectedly. 😊
