I always make it a point to go outside every weekend morning to have my walk. As much as I want to do it on weekdays too, I just can't, because I need to be early for work. Since walking and hiking in the morning has become part of my routine, I have almost explored the places near my residence. Most of the paths have become my permanent go-to, while some have turned out to be delightful discoveries to me, just like this side of our countryside that I'm sharing in this blog!
Let's go for a walk! Taraaa!
This path leads to two crossroads, the one on the left that I always take as it offers a beautiful view (proven and tested a lot of times), while the one on the right was the path I hadn't tried because I thought this would just lead me to groups of houses. But now, curiosity got the better of me!
Well, sometimes it's good to take new paths simply to experience something new. As they say, variety is the spice of life, my sister and I decided to take this path just for a change of scenery. However, we didn't expect that this path would lead us to surprises leaving us speechless.
At first, the path was only enough to say " ah okay, it's good" since we passed by farms of corn and some vegetation. BUt as we kept on walking, I was surprised that we only passed very few houses, completely opposite to what I had always had in mind. And the more steps I took, the more I was thrilled by the view we passed, as it slowly revealed its wonderful, lush scenery to us!
The Stunning part!
Then, my feet froze as if it has a mind of their own. My eyes were glued on this unexpected breathtaking view. The view becomes even more beautiful because of the morning dew that still glistens on the grasses, plus the cool air. The whole scene and feeling gave me the most relaxed and refreshing start to my day. I even forgot that I was dripping with sweat at that time.
And what's majestic above all, was the close-up view of the mountain rolls of Mabuli. Walking in front of this mountain felt absolutely awesome, especially since the mountain still had that beautiful blue hue against the morning sunlight. It was such a wonderful feeling with this stunning view. I couldn't help myself not to hum and whistle the song "Country road, take me home" while walking! Haha!
I smiled at the realization that my decision to take this new path became a blessing in disguise. It brought me a refreshing and different feeling compared to my previous hikes in the neighborhood. This one is surprisingly simply stunning.
Yes, I am a countryside girl where views like this are common and expected. But this made me realize that there are always corners in the countryside that are more breathtaking than others. This is now my favorite path so far, which proves that oftentimes the path less taken leads to beautiful surprises. 😘
