Little Luxuries.

my space in florence.

Everyone has their little luxuries of their daily routine or week that keeps them sane or at least balanced in some ways. What are yours? These are some of mine.

- a walk out in nature, to observe the sky, the clouds, the trees and flowers. Its beautiful just observing their color, how the sky is always a different color blue, you can tell if its happy or sad, and the glow from the sun that playfully gives a warm shade of orange and pink when it had a good day.

- a day of the week to just indulge in my favourite food. Perhaps i should do grocery shopping and have food that is just so good that it reminds me that life can be made beautiful, just like that meal i just ate.

- exercise, on a busy week at least just once a week. The body just needs it. It needs the push, it needs to stretch another mile. I do not know how people can go without exercise, my body just breakdown into goo if i do not maintain some sort of workout.

- making something, writing something beautiful with my hands. the smell, touch, play with materials and making them into something pretty!

- escaping and exploring new territories! Preferably of places that are beautiful in their own way.

Coming to think of it, Cities are ugly, or places are not beautiful or pretty when people :
( sorry my thoughts bounce around sometimes )

- do not really care. do not put much thought into it. rush to get things done. just getting things done because they want to make profit. when they do not think of the big picture. when they do not care about mother nature. when they are selfish and do not care about anything or anyone around them. when they do not put their heart into it, when they do not look beyond the surface. when they do not dedicate time to research and study in depth.

This makes me realize that whatever i do, even if its the simple chores of daily life, i do need to make sure i put my heart into them too. And to put more effort into the little things.

Wouldn't things be beautiful if people put more of their heart into what they are doing? mmm..
