Life's Simple Pleasures

Okay, I'm not that old in the grand scheme of things, but I definitely don't have the energy I once had as a 21-year old. (Sigh) Those were the days of seeming invincibility. Not anymore, that is for sure. One lesson I continue to learn is how to read my body. As well, I'm still learning when to say yes, and when to say no.

This past weekend struck the right chord: a Saturday morning trip to the gym followed by brunch with a friend at Cafe Savoy, an art nouveau Parisienne cafe across the river. There's much joy to be had in life's simple pleasures.


Yes, my friend Liz, recently back from the Pacific Northwest, and I feasted as we caught up over the last 3-4 weeks. Good food and good conversation go hand in hand :)

After parting ways, I decided to cross the river by foot before catching the no. 22 tram home. Looking out on the Vltava and the many paddle boats afloat, I was reminded of what a beautiful city I am blessed to call home.
