Have you ever smile appreciatively while carrying out your mundane activities each day?
When you tuck in every night, do you feel that you are so lucky to have such a cozy comfy bed to lie on?
When you take a shower or bath each time, has the thought of luxury appears in your mind and make you be a little grateful for the developed infrastructure and supply of clean water?
Well, I don’t normally think about what I am doing daily because that makes me a little real goof. What? Don’t I have better things to do than making such random thoughts? Okay, now I’m going to admit that I did think about it after going through some little experience that make me appreciate my mundane activities more.
Many years back during my college year, there was a gas crisis in the whole city where I was studying. We had no gas supply for a few days. Needless to say that the crisis created a lot of problems to the entire city and even affecting fragile lives in the hospital. People had to just find alternate ways of cooking their food. That’s when I started to appreciate the gas supplies we pay for each month. By the way, here’s a little tip for you to cook food without using the gas, use electricity? How? I always carry with me a rice cooker all these years while jet-setting in 3 other countries apart from my home country. I can use it to cook really simple food. In fact when I’m a little lazy pig, I still use it for convenience.
Have you been camping before? I really love setting up tents and camp to experience something different from staying indoors and the luxury facilities we usually have. My first camping experience was camping in a desert. It was freaking cold in the middle of night and I couldn’t sleep that well throughout the few nights. Obviously the camping sites usually don’t have classy toilet and shower facilities. My first shower after I returned home from that trip made me felt that as if I was having a blessing shower. I felt so good to go have a clean bathroom of my own. And of course the first night of sleep on my soft gentle bed was such bliss.
All right, this post is somewhat ludicrous and the thought sounds folly too. But hey, maybe it does bring up a different perspective compared to what other blogs offer. Perhaps…probably….possibly…
