Little things that make me Smile!


Epiphany in France takes place on January the 6th and celebrates the date of the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. On this day the three Wise Men arrived from the East, guided by the Star of Bethlehem, bearing gifts for the divine Infant. In France Epiphany is celebrated by eating the “galette des rois” .
January 6th is also when we put away the Christmas decorations.

I am now going to make a Galette des Rois for tomorrow to share with a few friends over a glass of wine and, enjoy the Christmas lights for the last time until Next Year!

Beautiful day as usual around here, did my designated three hours of writing, went for a swim and now having breakfast of coffee, cinnamon toast and fruit salad.

The flowers are looking particularly wonderful today …some of those in this video appear in our garden.


Have a beaut day all. Keep smiling!
 

Smiling activates tiny molecules in your brain that are designed to fend off stress. These molecules, called neuropeptides, facilitate communication between neurons in your brain. Also, when you smile, your brain releases dopamine, endorphins and serotonin.

These neurotransmitters are associated with lowering your anxiety and increasing feelings of happiness. In fact, serotonin is often the chemical that anti-depressant medications attempt to regulate. This natural, feel-good chemical cocktail that your brain serves up helps you feel happier and more relaxed, and it can even lower your heart rate and blood pressure.

Today I saw three new birds in my garden, they were very interested in the rose bushes, that made me smile!!
 
The poetic dance, "The Painting Journey – The Legend of a Panorama of Mountains and Rivers," highlights the aesthetics of traditional Chinese painting, is the latest creation by Han Zhen and Zhou Liya, the joint directors and choreographers of the popular dance drama "The Eternal Wave."

Enjoy!


Have a great weekend everyone.
