...and it's fine.
Last Friday, I had my little picnic lunch shared with sparrows and pigeons, with that view of the bay. For me, it was the best place I could imagine for those moments. A choice I made and enjoyed. Day by day, actually moment by moment, with our thoughts, words or actions we actively or passively choose how our reality will be built. Our actions have consequences we don't maybe see at first, but later the pieces fit. I can choose to have my lunch every time I have this whole-day schedule in that place...? Maybe. Maybe not. Or I can opt for a similar place; it all depends on how much time I am left with and then I can see what is the best place according to the circumstances and my preferences.
Sometimes it can be the beach (yes, I still have the beach chairs and two smaller purple Milka blankets in the trunk), other times a park, a forest, a hill... something will always arise as an option. Or maybe I will not fancy anything from these, and it will be fine too. Or I will not have lunch at all as I forgot to take it with me - it can happen easily. Right at this moment I think that it is so important we learn to accept situations, ourselves and others; even accept our own choice for the whole-day menu.
So, back to the choice of the place. Today, I was more time-limited as I added one more lesson to my schedule, so going up to the place where I had my lunch last Friday was not doable. Well, that is actually a pity as this time, I bought a baguette in the meantime to share with the birds. 😂
Beach? Hmm, no, it was a bit cloudy, and anyway, I was too lazy to walk back there to the seashore after I bought the baguette as I didn't have any bread at home.
In the end, the little blue bag carrying my vegetables and fruits found itself in a very normal park (where I didn't unpack the baguette as there were no birds around) and posed with my help for this photo.
No special views, little animals that could make me company and time for a walk? It's all fine; there will be other moments for that. The food was the same anyway, and the one who consumed it! 😁 Okay, not everything was eaten up from there, I brought home one tangerine and the muesli bar... which tells me I could make them disappear in some moments after I published this post.
But first, of course just if you want to, let me know what were the things you chose to do today and the results made you happy... or at least served as an exercise to accept the things? It doesn't matter if the choices sound insignificant... look at how trivial this choice of the place for lunch was in my case haha, but I practised (in some passive way) serenity. I can't always have lunch with a view.
