Monkey heaven

Grateful for:

  1. Visiting Arashiyama monkey park today and seeing monkey everywhere running in the wild, foraging, cleaning each other and even playing with a pile of rocks.
  2. Baby monkey jumping up on Will looking for some motherly comfort.
  3. Feeding peanuts to the monkeys.
  4. Seeing some of the last light ups of the year.
  5. Enjoying very peaceful, quiet and beautiful garden and pond light up.
  6. Experiencing real below 0’C cold and having a hot bowl of soup outside – nothing like freezing cold to make a bowl of soup seem like the food of the gods.
  7. Catching a bus for the first time and seeing a lot of the city on the way back.
  8. Buses and trains have special heated seats which makes it such a joy catching public transport, but very difficult to get off at your station.
  9. Finishing Rome season 1, it was a great show but the end I found very unfair and generally disagreeable. How programmed must I be by Hollywood if I find sad ending unacceptable.
  10. I have created my freedom through smart business management and clear priorities.
  11. My first reaction to any negative experience is to find something to be grateful for.
