Family gathering of sorts

It will be a family gathering of sorts for us again this coming All Saints’ Day on November 1. We all gather at the cemetery to remember our loved ones. But this time, I want it to be a bit cheerful. There will be healthy grilling for one. More catching up with the numerous cousins, uncles and aunts that we have. Some board games perhaps. And other things that we can think of.

Horseback riding

Little Maddie loves english saddles so much. She loves to go on a horseback ride with her father and she could go on and on about it. I once visited them in the country and I was regaled with the stories about Maddie’s prowess with horseback riding.

When I was a little kid, I also fancy myself good with horses. But when I fell off my horse a few times, once breaking a bone, I think that did it. I am now content watching others ride.

Comfort and luxury

This rich businessman that we know travels in style. He always make sure that there is a limousine waiting for him at the airport. Or if not, there should be a Mercedes Benz with a chauffeur waiting for him. Now, because he will be traveling to another country and will be going from one state to another, he wants a private jet charter at his beck and call. The cost does not matter to him. As long as the comfort in traveling will be afforded to him, then however expensive it will be, it doesn’t matter to him.

If only we can also travel like that, huh?

Extensive traveling

Jenny will be traveling by next month. She’ll be on a business trip to another country and will be there for about a month or so. It will be her fourth this year. She travels extensively so she really needs a sturdy luggage that she can bring with her always. The one that she has is now all worn out and is ready to ‘retire’. So she will be buying one for this next trip of hers. I told her to invest in a luggage set so that she will not have to buy every after her fifth trip.

Happiness in little things

Recently, I was besieged by an overwhelming longing for something I cannot put my finger on. I don’t even know if I am actually longing for that someone who put money over a relationship I thought would last until death do us part. I was restless. If a good book and a strong tea cannot heal it, I do not know what.

I went on the road, looking for it. No, I did not find what was ailing me. But I found something else…

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

Happiness in little things. The breeze from the open window of the car. Don’t you just find it relaxing to feel that cool breeze on your face? A baby’s smile is one of them. A car stopped beside mine and the baby smiled widely, reaching out her hand. It made my breath stop. That is God’s wonder, staring me right in the eye.

Little things matter. We just ignore it most of the time. Try to look at things you normally just pass by. It will make you happy, even in an odd sort of way.

Believe me.

Being on the road for a couple of months, stopping and then hopping again can be quite tiring. After a couple of days on the road, you would wish you are back at the comfort of your own home lounging and just lazing around.
