Disappointment, hope, struggle, love, failure and resilience are everyday themes that occupy our thoughts and constitute our inner monologue. In this book, the writer takes you on a journey of self-reflection. It invites each of us to pause and reflect on the beauty, simplicity and complexity of life. To reconnect with ourselves and nature. And to rediscover ties and pure feelings with our families, friends, and the world around us... "The water gliding forming ripples on the lake. Above the clouds, blue skies, pure air... You are you... time to get happy, smile and laugh again." And "silence, alone with my thoughts again, inviting, and familiar, like communing with an old friend..."
