20 October 2025 joys

The main events of October were many : the church retreat in the mountains, conference in Italy, mine and Tonio’s 15th wedding anniversary and our family from Paris visiting. Below, are the fun little moments that glued the main events all together.

I like the big events, but I really like these ones that sometimes fall through the cracks like these ones. They show real life, moment by moment. I’m thankful.
