So I decided to take one hour out of my day today to do just nothing. Simply nothing. I went to the park with my lunch, and sat on the grass after many years (last I remember was when I used to be a kid) and just ate my lunch. Finished lunch in 10 mins and just sat there, pondering about life, where I am headed, what has happened in the past couple of years, and sort of just got lost in thoughts of my own. Fed some crumbs of bread from sandwich to some squirrels. I felt like a kid for a few moments. And then I reached the conclusion that I should be grateful about all the things I have been blessed with. It was a very gratifying experience.

Not to mention that the weather was absolutely fantastic, clear blue skies after the rain from the past 2 days, bright sun, slight patches of pure white clouds... just absolutely beautiful. I dont think I have admired nature like this in a long long time.

So now I feel rejevunated, and I am back to my full time work and full time school hectic schedule.

I know a lot of you are just going post a :cookie: in response to this post, but that is not the point. The point is that if you feel stressed, worn out or whatever, just take some time out of your life, and enjoy the things you have been blessed with, may it be a good family, a good SO, a good paying job, good children... whatever!

Thats what Sundays are for. Just relax.

Yup, I love it when I'm able to do that. You should also try to do things that were fun when you were a kid. For instance I hadn't ridden a bike in years. The one day I remembered how damn fun it was to ride one, so I went out and bought one. It was so great to ride a bike again. Now I ride all the time. And each time I do I have a big stupid smile on my face while I'm jumping off curbs like a retard. Aaahhh....so fun.

Awesome - now I feel like going fishing.. haha

Yeah, fishing! I've been trying to find people to go fishing with. Not deep sea but in a river or lake. I gotta make some phone calls.
