I’m sitting on the steps of the plane in Lanzarote, the sun warm on my skin, a soft summer breeze, and the ocean sparkling in front of me. So peaceful.

The only sounds are the engine of the plane and aircrafts taking off and landing. As I stare into the distance, I can’t help but smile. In moments like these, I realize how grateful I am for this job and for the life I get to live.

I feel so peaceful when I’m alone with my thoughts, watching the waves, feeling the warmth of the sun, letting the wind brush past me. Sometimes all you need is to pause, to look around in silence, and to truly realize how much there is to be grateful for.

Even though I don’t stay long at destinations with Ryanair, there are moments like these that I deeply cherish.

I also noticed that some moments during flights make me smile in the purest way. A deep, genuine smile that comes from the simplest things:

A child waving at me.
An older woman holding my hand while saying, “thank you so much for helping me.”
Sharing energy with a colleague.
A man complimenting my smile as he leaves the plane.
A couple looking at each other with so much love.
A little girl dancing during the flight.
A husband carrying his partner’s suitcase.
Someone not minding switching seats for another.
Passengers greeting me with kindness and gratitude.
People laughing at their own clumsy moments — like struggling to open the toilet door… the usuals, haha.

There are so many of these little moments. Life is beautiful. And people can be so wonderful.

Start notice these things. It’s all in the small moments. The little things around you.
