Wednesday Walk: Two Simple Walks in One Day
Hello, everyone! ππ» Happy Wednesday...
β
βToday I want to share not just one, but two lovely walks I took yesterday. π
One in the morning, and one in the afternoon. And both were full of nature. ππ
β
βMorning Walk, Back Where I Grew Up
β
βBaby Aiden put on his slippers and asked to go outside. We were at my parents' place.
βThis is the place where I grew up, and now that I don't live here anymore, I get to appreciate it even more. The space is so wide, and the trees make the air feel so fresh and clean. π³
β
βWe walked over the bamboo hanging bridge, and down below was the river.
β
β
βThe water was still clear, though it's gotten narrower and shallower over time. We used to swim here before with my cousins, who now have their own families, living in different places...
β
βI even spotted tilapia fish, swimming happily in the clear water. A sign that the water is still fresh and clean. π
β
β
βThe lush greenery here is still so beautiful and well-kept. π
β
β
βBut while we were still standing there and appreciating the nature around us, one of the elders I've known since I was little, which is named Manay Nora, came to the side of the bridge and emptied her trash can, throwing all her garbage into the river. π₯Ή It made me so sad to see that. People here still treat it like a garbage pit. Not everyone help it clean. So that's the time we walked back home, wishing people would take better care of nature. π
β
βAfternoon Walk
β
βLater in the afternoon, on our way home, I took another walk along the road where we used to fetch water before.
β
β
βThe view was so refreshing. Coz on my right side was the sunset glowing, big tall trees, and the wide green fields.
β
β
βOn my left side were homes and rice fields... πΎ
β
β
βThen, as I looked up, there were these beautiful cirrus clouds across the sky... So different from the usual clouds we see every day. It was such a beautiful sight.
β
β
βWhat this walk taught me? It made me notice little things I usually take for granted.Β Coz lately, I've realized that I find it hard to appreciate the blessings around me. Sometimes I feel sad, unsatisfied, and always looking for more. But this walk reminded me to see the bright side... To be more positive... To count my blessings every single day. Coz I realized I have everything I need. And so many blessings I received. π

Hihi.. thanks for appreciating. Oo naman, magsawa ka sa nature pag nasa province ka ππ
Tomo... Ibang iba pag sa city noh, init ng hangin tas puro galing sa sasakyan π
How beautiful that your home is surrounded by all nature around. I love that bamboo bridge.
Peaceful and calm. It's nice you had fun with this very green color of nature. Wonderful!
Hindi sila takot tumawid sa hanging bridge, Mayt? π²
Sadly, it's harder to lecture people these days..mapapagalitan ka pa ni Manay Nora, ma HB pa yan, kasalanan mo pa. So it's better to just stay quiet.
Still, I hope there are garbage collectors going around so people don't have to throw their garbage into the river, diba?
Yung panganay ko takot dati, ngayon hindi na. Si Aiden, yung bunso, hindi man lang takot hahaha.
Sadly, wala talagang garbage collector sa barangay nila. Di ko alam kung bakit.
Haha, kita ko nga. Brave boy. Hope their barangay officials provide garbage bin man lang sana to teach the residents 'garbage segregation'.. libing nalang yung mga decomposing trash Manay Nora, tigil ka dyan sa pagtatapon sa river. Haha. Iinis ako ni Manay eh.
