A Lil Walk Was All I Needed

avatar

A test result disheartened me just around midday, so before succumbing to a pity party, I went out of the house, leaving the LilGuy playing in the living room. While the street down the property is usually empty and quiet, my feet led me to the rugged path leading up the hill. It seemed the best place to pacify my broken heart and spirit.

True enough, the little things out there helped me shift my mood and perspective.

And aha! A new shrub? Or is it a tree? My first time seeing this kind. Its leaves are shiny and huge! How long has it been since my last trip there? (I don't even remember). But yes, something on it lit me up like a kid who just found a toy or something.

Yep, the shadows took my attention, lol! And while taking some photos, I heard some people murmuring loudly in the distance. Maybe they even saw me in an awkward position, and wondered what I was doing, but I didn't bother to check where or who they were.

I can be snobbish at times, lol!

Anyway, I was back at the house before I got burned by the scorching heat. And the hubby called saying two of my first cousins were coming with him for a visit. They had been curious about how life is treating us here in DD, and they may have set the time to check us out today. Thank goodness I'm feeling okay now. A little walk turned out to be what I needed.

I'm ready for some hardcore teasing, a shot or two of tequila, or maybe beer? We will see what the guys are up to when they arrive soon, but first, let me quickly freshen up, lol!

My mother is a plantita and I love how she appreciate the simple flower in the backyard, also those wild plant. Although it's simple but beautiful.

That's good to hear :) Simple or little things do give us joy when we take time to appreciate them :)

The plants the table;
I have many experiences with them.

They can grow into a big plant(not the mango-tree type), and when cutting them in the bush, we play carefully because the leaves and the stems are rough and can scratch the body very badly.

That's interesting. Thanks for the info. I'll be visiting the bush from time to time to see how it grows, hehe. It's just amazing how such things pique our curiosity.

I hope your test results aren't indicative of a serious health issue.

I hate getting tests done, and was just at the doctor's this past Tuesday for a follow up on my 3-month scheduled checkup for my Type 2 Diabetes. My blood pressure has been spiking lately, so there is some concern. Distractions are perfect for taking my mind off the medical aspect of my life. Just have to control the external stressors that filter into my everyday.

Take care and have a nice start to your weekend.

Thank you. The result meant staying home with almost no physical activities, so extra patience is needed, hehe.

I'm sorry to hear about your health concerns, but I hope your BP will normalize soon. Good distractions are an ally when we want to take our minds off things that cause more stress :) Take care and hugs💖

Luv the shots! I can also relate that sometimes when I am trying to photograph something I am getting awkward a bit because there are lots of people staring at times haha. That's why much better talaga na mag-isa kapag kung ano-anong su subjects ang kinukuhaan. But deadma AHAHHAH

I can only imagine, haha! Pero okay lang din kahit may nakakakita. Tulad ng sabi mo, deadma lang. Unless magtanong sila, lol!

There's no doubt about that, Inti. That's why I always seek solace from it whenever my equilibrium is disturbed.

Tests are done to determine whether the result is good or not, but if it is life-threatening or has any side effects, such tests should not be done.

So far and for me, this has been the best way to feel relieved from any sort of stress, even mild ones. It just never fails and I come out energised and ready to tackle the rest of the day(or evening!)
