Welcome FlowerChild
Schools have finally started again last week after nine weeks of holiday. La Rentrée is always a big happening here in France, where we live. Commercially, it is a period that is very well exploited. First of all parents need to spend a fortune on all the materials the children need for their education. Even for primary school the budget spent is at least 80 euro’s. On top of that all the children get new clothes, new shoes, new bags. The schoolyard was like a “défilé de mode” with lots of proud parents too. I realised again what a crazy world we live in, where “having things” is growing out of proportion. My children (5&6 years) are a bit too small to be confronted with these images, but I will continue to tell them to be happy with what they have and how lucky and privileged they are.
If you think your salary is low, how about her?
If you think you are unhappy, look at them
When you feel like giving up, think of this man
If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?
Enjoy life how it is and as it comes. Things are worse for others and is a lot better for usJ There are many things in your life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart….pursue those..
