Enjoying life's simplicity

There are times when we think of wanting to live a grandiose, fabulous lifestyle, where schedules are jampacked with various functions, where we think of improving our social status, of wanting to feel on top of things. We think of posh, rich lifestyles where we visualize ourselves to be worry-free of spending, where acquiring material things will be easy.

But then, at times, its nice to take pleasure in the simplicity of things, of feeling content of what we have--our family, our nice little homes, the kind of entertainment that we can easily afford, like catching up on movies, and tv shows that we git behing with, catching up on the latest "usapan" with our families, wandering and taking a walk within the neighborhood or one's backyard, playing with our pets which we haven't tended with for the most times (maybe due to our busy schedules, and usual tiresome days), and listening to some old stacks of cds, or song collections we haven't played for a while.

It's nice to wander an wonder upon the things within reach. It sort of gives a contented, worry-free vibe. These simple things prevent you from feeling anxious, or thinking about the things we need to acquire.

There is a relaxing feeling in reveling in the simple things in life.

The holy week has given me this time to reflect, and to enjoy in the simplicity of things. For two days, i resisted the urge to think about life's complexities, or rather prevent myself from the usual, everyday worries, and the result was indeed relaxing.

Times like this is sort of a recharging state, a time to reflect on the things we have accomplished, to feel content in the things we have acquired over time.

This is bliss.

Hope you guys enjoyed your holy week as well:) Happy easter everyone!:)

Well said, Sistah.

It's when we take the time to look at the simple things around us that we realize how much we have, how blessed we are. It's not when our shopping carts are full, nor when we put on our designer clothes.

It's so nice when we get to reflect on things (like you did during the holy week)... because it's then that we get to know the things that we really want, and we get to check how close (or far) we are from that which our inner selves crave for.

GBU!
