As I stand here, in Lyon France I take it all in. The beauty that surrounds me, from beginning to end. The vibrant colors of the trees in bloom. The gentle breeze that whispers through the room. I close my eyes and listen to the sounds, but not for too long, I don’t want to spill my coffee!. I’m listening to the birds chirping, there’s a distant laughter of children on their way to school, shopkeepers are opening their shutters and the traffic starts to hum.
I breathe in deeply, filling my lungs with the beautiful morning air. I open my eyes and see the world anew. The vastness of the sky, a shade of blue. The beauty of nature, a new place to explore.
I take it all in, every sight, sound, and smell, I am truly alive, I am the luckiest girl in the world.
