Forward instead of Fret

Warm greetings from Mother Nature…

Birds are chirping and the gentle sun is waving a reminder of a motherly love of Nature we should all be grateful and celebrating.
Plants and flowers are mostly in each house’s front yard, dolling up each home with a more pleasant and welcoming home vibe. Those lush green leaves and vibrant colored blooms add positivity to a better mood.

Took out my phone to take some snaps, then suddenly noticed that my AFIT app. didn’t count my steps accurately. I was halfway through my way home when I noticed and checked that my smart band counts 5k while my AFIT counts only 2k, Ooh my goody-soiled shoes …

I guess it is my bad for keeping the smartphone inside the body bag and not in my pants pocket. 😅

Seems I’ve got to go the extra mile that day to reach my goal steps. Anyway, it’s fine, I’ll keep it up. Rather than fret about the uncounted steps, must I need more walks to burn those more calories? Back-up plan, reach home to feed my fur babies, change my sweat-soaked clothes, and get back to walking right after my cats and dog’s breakfast.

**Restart – from home to another adventure...
**

Now it's me, a bit sweaty due to not so gentle sun and the walk I did from home. About to walk further and head south to gain my goal.

Gladly I tried this new route, never had I imagined that I’d be surprised by the scenery. A pond that serves as a bird sanctuary, must be abundant in fish for these pretty creations of God. 🤩

I sat near the pond to rest my leg a bit and took a few snaps of this serene place while reminiscing my father’s story, a story about the worry-free and grateful life of a bird. My father told me that birds don’t have permanent homes nor a job to earn for living, yet they live with grateful hearts and praise the lord for the life they have by chirping. Papa told me that, most of us humans fret often about gaining earthly rewards such as Money, Power, and Popularity.

We work hard and sometimes tend to forget important matters in life, being grateful to God for having a safe, comfortable, and healthy life with our loved ones. We are too immersed in earning and gaining wealth and sometimes fail to mind our own health and our precious and priceless wealth -THE FAMILY. 🥰

Patience is a Virtue…

The lush green rice field and the golden fruit that is almost ready for harvest. Some of us aren’t aware of the troubles and struggles in the rice field, how did those pearly white grains go through before it was on each household’s table? The essence indeed was patience, the farmer’s patience along with their faith and capabilities to plant those golden seeds and harvest them after tons of struggles and hard work. 🌱

**Getting out in our safe and comfort zone- the rough and rocky road…
**
Luckily, I stepped out from my usual walking route, I would have missed the opportunity to be in this awesome place and recall my father’s wisdom and further realize his words. Can’t hardly imagine that this backup plan to gain steps would lead me to gain more than I expected. 🥰 🤩

Hope you all enjoy the short journey with me and I am looking forward shortly to sharing more with you. May this image of a free-flowing stream be a reminder of our life, journey, and experience. Let us not stay stagnant despite all the blows and hindrances in life. Always believe in yourself but keep God as a crown to your Head, for he has the Highest wisdom above all. May we all stay Blessed and Blissful. 😇 🙏
