Last evening I made up my mind that I am not going to let Corona situation get to me. I decided to focus on my health and well being. I thus went for my brisk walk last evening and have just come back from a early morning 5k walk. During my walk, I felt thankful to be living in such a beautiful place - where the landscape is a treat for the eyes - trees more than a hundred years old, creepers, birds, blooming flowers and empty pathways. For the first time, I experienced gratitude for this place in a way I had never before.
One of my resolutions for the year 2020, was to travel and learn. I did so in the past two months and was looking forward to exciting times in the month of March and April. I found it difficult to comprehend with the fact that one virus - something not visible to the naked eye - was responsible for stalling my plans. Though outwardly, I appeared calm and composed, I was restless inward.
I took to reading, writing, completing household chores, cooking, watching movies on Netflix and amazon prime, playing with my children and yet doing all this didn't make me feel complete. Somewhere in my mind I wasn't surrendering myself to the now. I wasn't letting my senses do what they were craving to do - to just experience what is....
Today as I was walking, I noticed the little things and the not so little things. The music playing in my ears actually helped me keep away all the thoughts in my head and simply focus on what I could see around me. I was also happy that I had my phone with me as I could click photographs and share this beauty with the world.
Thank you life for offering these experiences to me and now I feel ready to explore, "what is my experience of myself?"
