"My life for a day, walking alone, being myself for a while"

Article # 161

Hello readers and friends! How are you all now? Today is Monday and time to rest since our work will be back next year. I chose not to spend money for now because my savings in my wallet is intended for our food and I am planning to prepare some for Christmas and new year so I have to manage the expenses well. No time for shopping or buying something new today like a dress and other material stuff, maybe next time nalang if I have enough budget for them. For now, I have to be practical because of the serious inflation in our country all of us were affected by this. We should prioritize first the essentials and be wise enough to decide whether it is needed or not before spending.

How was my Monday? Do I have something new today?

So far I'm good, I suppose to wake up at 6 am but this morning I take a lot of time in bed. I had a good sleep until 8 am. I clean our room and washed the dishes. After breakfast, I go back to sleep again until 2 pm. Oh, I'm glad that I made this now unlike before I can only sleep 4 to 5 hours a day because of so much load of work and I have a lot of responsibilities.

At 3 pm, I took a bath to relax my body and feel the cold water thoroughly. I have a good mood today so I decided to have a short walk along the roadside near in home.

I walked alone, I want to be alone for a while to enjoy being with myself. Fortunately, the weather is good and I don't need to rush home. While I'm walking on the road, I've come to my sense to buy our viand for dinner since the time was already 5 pm so I continue to walk straight on the road and go to my favorite barbeque stall along the roadside and the owner is also a friend of mine.

She is kind to me ever since, She entertained me so well. We Chatted more like a closest but I never have the guts to ask her name lol:) and I only call her "ate" (sister). That's why I always come back to buy her barbeque and she also gives me a discount if I buy more.

When I go home, I only cook rice, and then after we will have our dinner at 6:30 pm. I don't have a lot of activities at home today and maybe tomorrow I will wash our laundry I hope it will not rain.

I realized that being alone sometimes can help me to think and refresh my mind from worrying about everything that surrounds me. Give me time and enjoy the moment of being alone. I can say that what I did today was a great help for me to discover the true meaning of self-love. All this time, I put others first before mine and it is not wrong if we put ourselves first because no one can love you more than enough but only yourself. Whatever problems we will encounter we must always remember to give value to ourselves and be loved.

Thank you, my dearest sponsors, and may God bless you all:-)

Thanks for reading☺
