The teargas had us coughing and crying. Our path was sprinkled with protesters about to engage in a streetfight. When we finally put some distance between us and the angry mob, the fresh air of the empty park was a very good reason to smile. Still, we did not linger, we wanted to feel the city's pavement and cobblestones beneath our feet. This weekend my family and quite a few friends of my family joined us for an amazing Thanksgiving dinner. There was everything: turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and so on.

Are we going the same way as the fairy?
Last Saturday, I took my kids to a nearby playground so that they could make the most of the summer in October (the trees still haven't changed colour, except those that turned grey in July). My daughter quickly joined other kids playing in the evening sun rays. Suddenly, a girl, aged about four or five … Continue reading Are we going the same way as the fairy?
The Scent of Roses
The Scent of Roses When my parents got married almost 24 years ago my mom had a beautiful bridal bouquet. The roses were vivid in colour, red, pink, yellow. The colours were strong, not the faint pastel tones one is used to for weddings. My mother was not wearing white either, she wore a black … Continue reading The Scent of Roses
The Bus Driver #WeeklySmile
The Bus Driver "Hello, I really like your glasses. They suit you well!" Were the words with which I was greeted upon entering the bus I took home on Tuesday.

Discovering a Drawing #WeeklySmile
Discovering a Drawing A few evenings ago I turned the page in my Moleskine and came across this little drawing: My Moleskin had been overtaken by my daughter. When she draws little circles they are either people or minions, probably a mixture of both. I am quite sure that her dad and I are both … Continue reading Discovering a Drawing #WeeklySmile

Did I not smile this week? Of course I have smiled, what are you thinking! I have smiled about many things. It is not easy to pinpoint the one special smile this week, but that might be because I am all the time. I have smiled about the drop in pollution. I have smiled about progress … Continue reading Constantly Smiling #WeeklySmile
A List Of Smiles #WeeklySmile
I am a natural smiler. That means I smile all the time. When I was a teen living in the US, about to move to France, I was advised not to smile in public in Paris, that this would be dangerous for me. Well, it might be dangerous if you cast sexy smiles at strange men, but … Continue reading A List Of Smiles #WeeklySmile
