Caution, Cows Crossing.

I'm back from Switzerland.

Actually, I got back quite a while ago. I meant to update my blog but it never seemed to happen. The rest of the trip was delightful and coming back to Israel was sort of bittersweet.

Why did the cow cross the road?
The holidays are always a fun and exciting time, lots of family time and an overabundance of delicious foods. They're also a time to think back over the past year and just to reflect on life in general.

My mom started doing this new thing where she picks (at least) one thing every day that she feels grateful for. It's easy to focus on the negative things in life especially when I'm feeling stressed or tired and ofttimes I forget that I actually have an awful lot of things to be grateful for.

With the start of a new semester right around the corner I'm making a slightly belated new year resolution to be a little more grateful for all of the positive things in my life.

Today I am grateful to my mother for reminding me that I have a lot of things in life to feel grateful for (,amongst other things).
