I was up at my usual time and out for my walk before I had a shower and threw all my dirty clothes and bedding into the washing machine. I do like this machine you can get so much in it, it is supposed to be a 7.5kg machine but I have never weighed stuff - just fill it to near the top.
Wandered down to the Vietnamese bakery to see about rolls for Boxing Day but the young couple that bought the business are quite different to the original owners. Anyway I ended up buying a dozen rolls just in case and have put them in the freezer just to be on the safe side.
Now I have to check the BBQ gas bottle to see if i need to get it refilled. It’s all go!
I woke up early today and sat down to enjoy a small piece of bread with a cup of warm ginger tea. Looking out the window, I could already tell that today is going to be intensely hot, the kind of heat that really bites the skin.
I’ve decided not to go anywhere today. I want to spend time with myself, observing my own mind. Over the past week, I feel that I’ve let my thoughts wander too much, thinking about this and that, and it has disturbed my inner calm.
With the New Year approaching, it feels like a good time to train myself to see the beauty of the world more clearly.
In a few days, I’ll be going on a road trip with my son. Looking back, life really does move so fast. From childhood to this stage of life, it feels
like it all passed in just a blink.
We never truly know how many days we still have to see this world. So it’s better to choose to see its beauty, to keep our hearts peaceful and cool.
I wish all my friends a day filled with calmness, beauty, and happiness.
