The time I spend alone has nothing to give.
The life I lead alone has nowhere to live. >K. Harland
I was feeling low these past couple of weeks, about the day to day concern that I felt I have not dealt with as I thought I could have.
But yesterday, I was lifted up.
Instead of riding the jeep through the hi-way, I chose to pass by the Town proper and walk. On the way up the bridge, a tricycle had difficulty getting past the bridge that it needed a push that I incidentally could provide because I was the one nearest the vehicle.
So, push I did. The driver said thanks and I hitch a ride with it up to the corner of the street. Some great reward.
At the store by the corner of the street, I bought one big banana for seven pesos. So the fare that I was to pay the jeepney driver was used to buy a banana that as I later realized became a proof that shows my belief in the recent scientific finding that fruits are best eaten on an empty stomach.
As simple as that, I was lifted up and all those troubles and feeling low were all gone.
And as simple as that, we got to realized not to take things for granted and to give thanks to Whom thanksgiving is due.
Well, said. Something to be grateful.
TumugonBurahinAt the end of each day, it's nice to reflect and count our blessings... how a kind gesture from a stranger have brightened our day.. how we have been looked after and protected by Him as we go on our daily routine.. simple things that most people wouldn't even notice, let alone be thankful for....
TumugonBurahinThank God we are taught to appreciate the simple things in life... like today, reading your little vignette is one those "simple things" I am thankful for... it lifted me up.. Nice story bro!... :-)
