Hello August,
yesterday I discovered a new café in a beautiful park and I send pictures to many of my friends, and today I discovered the 17 UN Global Goals for the planet, and ways we can contribute to them in our every day life.
Apparently they were around since 2015, but it’s good to take notice, 2030 is not far, but that gives us a few more days to act!
So, before choosing one goal to take action, I will read them through and decide which one could be more meaningful to me today 🙂
Hello August,
I was feeling a bit stuck after summer-nation, my goals in suspense and my romantic life also floating, that I decided to try 50 things for an inspiration, one every day.
In this way, I want to take a distance from everyday concerns.
So, after going online I read, “get lost in beautiful nature photos online”;
ok, let’s do that: for this, I think directly of bloggers
Randal in https://dalocollis.com/2014/03/06/dreams-between-dusk-and-dawn/, and https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/65027478/posts/4773for their inspiring nature photos!
And for inspirational quotes with beautiful nature pictures, Eddie Two Hawks

A National Geographic Tour of Interesting Bridges Around the World (8 Photos)
Hello August,
already the 23rd, and I am sitting in a café, my almost favorite occupation, starting slowly to emerge from my summer-nation, a similar to hibernation state.
I found time to sleep, eat, watch favorite movies and see my friends and family; look around and observe the flight of the insects, wonder about the mood of my cat.
In other words, extremely productive occupations.
No, I haven’t been by the seaside still. My parent’s home is close to the mountains, in South of France, although not far from the sea, you need to go by car.
And the furthest I have been is a few kilometers away.
In a kind of lazy mood, you see.
After sending dozens of job applications in places that seemed appealing and others that didn’t, and after putting together extravagant projects, I am to look for funding for, I decided to look further into places I really want to go, and see how I can get there.
What do I mean by extravagant projects?
The kind of projects that don’t seem close to anything I see and demand a huge funding to become a reality.
Should I give up in dreaming?
Or look for other crazy dreamers around?
I somehow favor the second option.
Dear August,
where have I been all this time? Was it on a little white cloud, on the wings of love, forgetting all my everyday life practical questions?
Almost, I was up, down, and around.
My June love story lost steam and practically disappeared in July.
I managed to get myself a virus and I spent a lot of time sleeping and watching Disney and Dreamworks creations (from the Trolls to Baby Boss…)
Anyway, I realized a vacation is a must, and I landed on my home-town where I spent time with family and friends and I decided that all I needed is sleep, rest and relax.
It is only in August that I emerged and I started writing, again, the sequel of my first novel;
Well, to go back to love questions, do I feel sad?
Not exactly.
Was I in love?
I was grateful to have this good looking, intelligent, successful, active, thoughtful guy, full of attentions. I saw fireworks!
But somehow, I stressed up.
Was it for real?
It was almost too good to be true.
This guy, a 40Â year-old, was showering me with attentions for a whole month, and I think that I was responding positively but somewhat with less enthusiasm than his.
He seemed serious about his career coming out of a two year relationship and we had common friends. Not the kind of person who was frivolous and flirtatious here and there.
Was it my instinct of self-preservation or my self-sabotage side that wanted for things to go more slowly?
in any case, my perfect june man left for a two-week business trip and when he came back to London, he found me and my virus, and then he just… vanished!
Now that I am back in full health, I contemplate if a little virus can chase away a strong connexion or dissipate a buble that wasn’t love.
Because I am not interested in the fast food of love: the kind of place where you are served fast, and bad quality food.
I am for the three star Michelin restaurant, where food is prepared with the best ingredients and it takes its time to arrive in your plate.
This fast in love fast out of love person, was looking for appearances.
Good luck to each of us and as they say in fairy tales, “and they lived happily ever after”, in our separate ways, in this case!
P.S. A small “clin d’oeil for my friend Paul @ SocialMedia who asked me how things go!
