Simple Things

I woke up today… thinking that it’s the 24^th of December, and we are going to our lola’s house… It’s already a tradition for us to go there every 24^th of December and have Noche Buena, exchange gifts, and Aguinaldo… I’m quite excited coz I’m gonna receive again money from my relatives and family… I went out, and cook breakfast for my sister and my niece… I cooked 2 eggs and 4 cheesedogs… then I ate together with my sister and niece… washed the dishes… then chill… went outside, and noticed that it’s a beautiful semi-sunny day (don’t know the proper term for this…)… I really had a simple start on this day… I tried not to think of my weaknesses and my problems in the past… I tried not to think too much… I just want to live as for the moment… and I feel somehow a sense of stillness in my mind by living life as simple as it should be…

I realized that we all have a choice whether we should be stuck with the memories of our past… or with the monsters of our minds that we ourselves created… or with the fears that we keep on thinking… we do all have choices… and it’s up to us what choices we should make… we are often engulfed by our powerful minds with fears that we ourselves created, and somehow we lose sight of the reality… we forget to live our lives… and we are totally focused on it… but hey, we have a choice… we have our choices, we have our loved ones, we have everything that we need and should be thankful for. Simple things that we often take for granted… We should always remember that we only have one life to live… and we should not waste our time thinking too much… we all have our own demons to deal with… let’s deal with it by being more powerful
and wiser than the demons we ourselves created.

I read something in a blog that says… “The quest for inner peace is often blocked by fear. Have none and clarity will appear” and I will always remember this for it will be of great
help for me, and for everyone…
