A lovely sunny day

Last Sunday, I did a first aid course. I had done one many many years ago (I think at least 35 years ago) but need proof of a recent  course for the trip to Africa.
It was a fun day. The young lady giving the course did an excellent job and made it a lot of fun to listen and learn.
Later on Sunday (I only saw it Monday), I had a reaction to my newspaper article from someone who originally comes from South Africa, is now living here in the area and is forester/hunter in a hinting district in the next village from here. Through him, I have now contacted some people who may help us with a small plot of land we own not too far from here. We purchased that last year and want to use it to do something good to nature, like putting up "insect-hotels" or nesting boxes. But we need some advice from people who know our flora and fauna (and it's needs) a lot better than we do. So that is going to happen.
And then I received a reaction to the newspaper article from a woman I have come to greatly admire after only two emails. She and her husband live half of the year on a sailing yacht in the Caribbean and she wished me luck with my journey. Not just the actual journey to Africa, but also the journey to myself. 
Of course I wrote back and today I received a second email from her. With words that so beautifully describe the process of self-determination and the freedom gained with it, that I will put them in a separate chapter on my page with important topics later today.
She ended her last email with the words "Isn't today a lovely sunny day?" And after that email, it most certainly is, which is why I chose the title for this post.
Please do read that entry in important topics. Maybe it's the first step in changing your life.
