It's a beautiful day today, really. As I'm sat here, I'm admiring the the blue skies with cotton candy wispy clouds and the bird song coming from all around. The sun is brilliant but not blinding, just warm and welcoming, seeping through my half raised venetian blinds, letting the warmth into my room.
I love my window; it's as big as the length of my room with three large window panes, two of which open to allow the tranquil April breeze through. Even though I'm not outside enjoying a peaceful long walk, discovering muses and letting inspiration develop in my mind, it feels like I'm sat outside already. My desk is right by the window so I can experience everything just sat here, as if I'm writing my blog outside on an open field; it feels almost cliche but realistically, it's just calming.
Society and lifestyle these days are rather stressful and fast paced; people (ourselves and others around us) expect results increasingly quicker and better than ever before. It's very easy to lose ourselves to this stress and forget what is it enjoy life, and most important, what our initial intention is. Of course we all must work hard, but finding a way to enjoy hardworking life is important. Don't you think?
It's my first Spring in this room, my previous room also had a beautiful view across a field and park, it was a small valley (althought it wasn't much of a valley because all it had was a small trickling stream). Nonetheless, the view was lovely, especially during days of clear skies or starry night skies.
Have you ever wondered which season you preferred the most? For me, I like them all...
The flowers in Spring, Sakura during mid-late Spring, then the long warm days of the heated Summer, followed by the auburn tones of the changing colour leaves in Autumn/Fall which fall gradually forming crispy piles of crunchy leaves as the white snow Winter comes. Despite not particularly liking cold weather I love snow and being able to see snowflakes fall; so fragile, each unique and delicately created.
Unfortunately, the beauty of each season isn't always the case, especially here in England. （笑）
Regardless of season or time of day, it always seems to be raining. But rain can be beautiful too, right? (*^-^*)
Gradually through the years I think I've gotten used to waking up to the sound of pitter-pattering rain, somehow its rhythm is calming...
It's a lovely day and I really enjoy the sunshine!! I never understand why people in UK like the sunshine so much until I am in UK!! Remember someone told me:"You can get four seasons in one day when you're in UK." I totally agree with it!!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I like rain. Especially Heavy rain which hardly get in UK~~~
Heavy rain happens a lot here actually. It's so windy and stormy sometimes. I remember having to walk through gale storms to get to College; it was both scary, hard work but once you're inside somehow it's satisfying you made the effort at 7am in the morning to get to College through a storm.
ReplyDeleteHaha... I was so naive and stupid. It was quite dangerous, thinking back now... (*^^*)
I always wanted to get out in the heavy rain and try to sense the rhythm of the rain drops on my skin and I'm lucky enough to experienced it once. Feeling good and satisfying!! I still prefer the heavy rain in M'sia where there will be tonnes of big rain drops fall on the ground, they make me feel fresh!!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, totally agree with you... It's kinda great satisfaction to pass through that moment!! =)
I'm sure you will experience it if you stay in UK long enough!
