Be happy with less. You’ll get more.
What a lone Xmas tree on an Old Town Square can teach us about overcoming adversity and planning for the future.
Yesterday evening, my family and I strolled through downtown Prague.
During Xmas time, Prague is one of the most beautiful cities to be visiting with all its architectonical magic and festive lighting. The pandemic doesn’t change that.
Actually, it did change the experience.
There were a few things significantly different this year, be it that the city itself is still the same.
I already noticed the difference on our walk towards the Old Town Square. Typically that walk is a slaloming exercise through tourist groups and locals in a hurry.
Not this time.
Because of the magic, there were still some people on the streets, but saying that it was busy would be a gross exaggeration.
The most significant difference was the square itself. Usually, the square is the scene of the most beautiful Xmas market in the world (yes, I’m biased).
Not this year.
This year there was the square, small groups of people, and the Xmas tree.
