Ok, so I am totally bored out of my wits. I also need to ditch this doom and gloom attitude and enjoy what life has to offer. Indeed it is true that happiness is not ready made so one must work for it to be able to achieve it. So I am trying to figure out how I can be happy with my life right now. There are just moments and instances that I feel so down and all; some hidden and mixed emotions that cannot be explained and some ideas that are being put off because of low self-esteem and self confidence.
Maybe I should learn to appreciate what I have right now --- Appreciation is the key word! I need to appreciate tiny, small packages of blessings that are freely given to me right now.
The life and beauty of nature at its best-- I am blessed to be living in Bukidnon. I love the mountains and the green grasses of home. When I walk barefooted, I love the feel of green grasses growing under my feet and love the smell of grasses that are freshly trim or cut. When I need to relax, I just prop up my pillows, grab a good book, quench my thirst by drinking pineapple juice, stretch out in the patio and look up on the clear blue skies. And I also love it when it rains; it reminds me so much of grade school/high school and the simple pleasure of living in a place far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. When happiness means eating banana q with friends, sitting on the plaza, piano lesson with my best friend at Tita Merlyn’s house, chit chatting about the days of our lives over my friend’s place, walking home in the rain with friends, giggling over high school crushes and friends’ sleeping over at my place during final examm. Oh memories… beautifully folded and pressed between the pages and corners of my mind.
All great things come from small beginnings— so do small ideas that will come out big later on. I have some ideas that would glow like neon traffic light but sometimes I tend to throw it on the back burner and simply forget about it. So now is the time to entertain small ideas that will turn out big later on in my life.
De-clutter things in life- Sometimes schedules turn way too hectic that it is nearly impossible to de-clutter things in life that are no longer needed. So, I guess it is high time to leave old ugly memories behind and have a brand new start. It also goes with some stuff in the room or in the drawers that are just accumulating dust; time to make it spic and span, baby!
Simplify things— I don’t have to give myself a hard time in order to come with a right choice. I’ll do whatever makes me happy.
Friends that last forever! – boyfriends are not the be-all and end-all! They come and go but FRIENDS--> friends are there for life. I miss watching F-R-I-EN-D-S! I love that T.V sit com so much that I almost always died of laughing watching them goofing around and cracking up jokes to the maximum. And yeah, thanks to all my friends for the laughter, tears and snippets of this and that.
Home is where the hearth is! Oh, the comfort of home. Nothing truly beats off the comfort that a home can give. When I say home, I also mean my family. I know it is home when it is equated with the word family. Yesterday, Pa and Ma watched classic cartoons together and it made me smile knowing that they still enjoy each other’s company. Alright, they also have their share of marital differences but never did I see my father lift a finger to Ma. I believe that the greatest gift a father could offer to his children is to love his wife.
A faith that is deep and true—Authentic faith to one God. And knowing that everything happens because of HIM alone.
Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!
Besos,
ivy
