i consider myself as lucky enough to live in a penthouse with two balconies, not one, yes, two spacious balconies which allow me the previleges of having abundance of wonderful morning sunlight and refreshing breeze. here, i love spending my time, hitting my laptop keypad, or flipping through magazines and novel or simply sitting down and letting my mind freely wanders every where for a while, and freeing my eyes to feast on the blue skies or sparkling stars.
if anyone ever wonder what could perhaps be one of the post-posting things or experience i will be missing most, the sight of this blissful green patch seen from my balcony and my masterbedroom is indeed one. this is what helps me to if not completely, partially eludes the provercial fear of the harsh world outside my domestic territory. this is what makes me take things in stride, live according to my heart contentment and chew new experience bit by bit. this is an unsignificant reward for some, yet it offers me the greatest joy to savour life in this foreign country.
indeed, the real sense of happiness knocks on our window when we are able to appreciate even the simplest pleasure in life.
what is happiness for you?
I absolutely love that park. It's why I love living around the area! You are so lucky indeed to be in the Penthouse with TWO balconies! I wish I could enjoy my balcony as well - but it's just impossible for me here! You are so lucky!
ReplyDeleteHi! how small the world could be. i never thought i was in the same place your mom stays.i miss salcedo saturday market. i miss that tiny green patch where my kids and I could just sit and enjoy ice-cream on hot days and the hospitality of local acquaintances and expats alike :-) those were the good old days.
