International Picnic Day

Happy Picnic Day everyone!

Here in Lebanon the weather's SO good for picnics!
I usually go on picnics with my friends (the last one was about a month ago).
But it's been so long since I last went on a family picnic! I should definitely work on it with my parents and sister!

How often do you go on picnics with your friends or family? And what do you do as fun activities?

World Environment Day

Since 1973, World Environment Day has been celebrated internationally on June 5 because that was the day when the original UN conference on the Human Environment began.

Every year, the United Nations pick a city to host WED and a theme for this day.

This year the city's Pittsburgh, and the theme is "Many Species, One Planet, One Future".

Happy World Environment Day everyone!

World Children's Day

Happy Children's Day everyone!

On this very special day, I decided to share with you a story from my childhood:

When I was 5 or 6 years old, I used to pray in a very structured way before going to sleep every night:

First, I'd thank God for my family, my health and for all the "good things" in my life.
Then, I'd promise Him to be a good girl and to respect my parents.
And finally, I'd ask Him for favors, most of which were VERY silly, like "Please God, make my hair straighter" or "God, I want my mum to let me apply nail polish. Please make her change her mind".
How silly I was!

But I remember asking almost every night for 2 things: world peace and helping "poor and hungry people" (as I'd say it).
So, genuinely speaking, my prayers weren't THAT bad! They were pretty good considering I was 5 or 6!

What story pops into your mind when you remember yourself at 5 or 6?
