Waking up early trying to catch up for the days work, I find it very refreshing. I would prepare my coffee and sit down to watch the news on television then pitch in some fixing and sweeping just to clear the house of the dust accumulated on that day. There’s not much to clean and clear as there are no children to mess around, just my seventeen year old son who sits down only to play computer games or watch television.

Since I go to work only in the afternoon lately, I have always time to work on my computer before going to work. This is the kind of life I have. Just working on my blogs when I am not at work and sorting some things at home once in a while. There are enough things to do to fill the days as they come by.

Could life be so boring as my life? No, I don’t consider my life boring. I do things that make me busy and forget that I don’t have a life that is as exciting as other people do. I don’t have many friends that I could go out with. Besides I prefer to sit in front of my computer and tap the keys to write about something. I do go out from time to time with my sister and my friends but it is not so often.

Perhaps being happy and content in life depends on the person. I am content with my simple life and I live enjoying the simple things around me. I write to give spice to my everyday activities and I play with the kids that I teach to make me happy and alive. The days that I am with the children are days that I could never forget. The things that they say and do are sometimes wonders that me wonder at times. There are things that sometimes puzzle me when children speak on their own. It is sometimes very hard to answer their questions.

But they are the spice of my life!

I got a very inspiring message from a member of Helium, the sight where I am writing.  And it made me alive today.  There are  people who want to inspire others and there are those who want to discourage. 

In this world we are living in, we must always consider that not all people are there to encourage or inspire you.  Some people are not as considerate or kind and you have to adapt to any situation as you trudge your way.

Sometimes, life is just something that we pick up and sort out and the more we sort them out properly, the more life would be fun.  And we should not forget those people who contribute to our success and happiness.  They are the people who add spices to our life, the people who inspire us and make us what we are.

Hello everybody.  Just got back from a few days holiday in a place I consider a paradise.  Being away from work means relaxation for me.  It is a time to relax and rest.  Having a few days off from work means recharging before going back to the daily hectic schedule that many of us are doing.  Working is part of life and we cannot set aside our job because it is our way of providing for our needs but sometimes we need a break from the tedious work.  And what we need is a short holiday,

I had a very beautiful experience during my short holiday.  I went to a place that I cannot describe with just a few superlatives.  It was really, really lovely and the place was still unadulterated.  I only hope the place would remain as simple as that and no one would think of changing it.  That was the most beautiful place I had ever seen.  It was a resort between very high mountains.  If you are in the place you forget all the chaos happening around and the problems about Mother Earth.  This is where you could feel the true essence of life. 
If you are working too hard, try having a break and enjoy life with nature.  There is no joy in living if we take life seriously and engross ourselves working without relaxation.  Life is such a beautiful thing and only when we look at the simple things in life could we appreciate the real beauty of living.  Take a break from work, find a place to have a short holiday and try experiencing something different.  You won't regret it.  What you will regret is when you miss out on the things that you should have done and enjoyed.

If you are sixty,  don't think you are too old to enjoy life.  Today on your sixtieth birthday is the day you should be grateful that you have reached that age.  It is high time you forget about worries and start a life you haven't experienced when you were younger.   I'm not yet sixty, I have still a long time to reach this age but I do have a lot of friend who are in their sixties and I envy them because they are a bunch of young-looking, happy-go-lucky oldies, who look at life just like they are in their twenties.  They seem to not age as they frolick and hop to enjoy their everyday life.

I look at them as people who know what they want in life.  They usually have lunches, dinners, and breakfasts together and talk about their younger days when they were all very young and still depending on their parents to give them their daily allowances.  One of them remembered how they used to escape late at night to have their gimmicks.  And their trick?  They cover their pillows on the bed and make them appear like persons sleeping.  That way their parents will think they are sound asleep in their rooms when the truth is they are out somewhere having secret trysts with their friends.  They were all so attached together that even in old age they still stick together as one.

Life is so short on earth that when one takes it so seriously and live a life consuming all the negatives that comes, it would be like living in hell.  We must always put to mind what happens to us when we don't look the positive way.  We sometimes look at things the wrong way and end up being frustrated and discouraged in life.  But when we try to look the other way, life would be far better than what we think.  Life is what we make  it and by living happily, we would indeed find life interesting and happy.
