I have been recently longing for a mini vacation OUTSIDE of my current country to somewhere new and in a galaxy far far away... It's a habit of mine to start to freak out and feel claustrophobic when I have been in the same "area" for consecutive months! FYI the last time I went on vacay was in May so not so long ago, but my body works in mysterious ways... Also seeing my family and friends visiting new places and posting their amazing experiences does not help either! I am a JELLY type person like STAAHHHP! I kid... not really. But its not all THAT bad, I mean I still have those days where I just want to literally DO NOTHING! chill in my baggy pjs, playing games all day while having my supply of "Comfort Foods" to num num on... is really what I need sometimes. However, I am trying to learn to just chillax and enjoy what I have around me. Its difficult at times because I want something new and different almost always, but sometimes taking a step back and enjoying the things right in front of me i.e. family, friends, COFFEE, netflix, you name it, can be fun (even if its in the same place) but only if you WANT to make it fun. I truly believe it all relies on your attitude in the end. Let me explain further.. FOR EXAMPLE, My family and I usually have "Thanksgiving" dinner together every year, where my mother and/or sister usually do all the cooking, we come to the table only to devour it all and then its over with the dreadful cleaning up afterwards. Usually my mom and sister do that as well . This time around during "Thanksgiving" I really wanted a different, more engaging experience. I realised that it is a nice opportunity to come together and enjoy each others company, laugh and talk about random things, and just BOND together. I didn't want my mom nor sister to be all tired and tasked with the whole menu of cooking and cleaning. So we decided that each one of us will contribute with a dish to make. I was in charge of the Mac n Cheese. My sister with the veggies including mash potatoes, and my mom with the big beast TURKEY. In addition to that, I wanted all of us to dress up nicely then we normally would. Because how you choose to represent yourself DOES in fact effect your mood and emotions. something I truly believe in And it WORKED, I noticed we were in a lighter mood, taste testing each others foods, complimenting one another on our joint efforts in making this amazing dinner, and enjoying the company around us. We made the men clean up the mess afterwards, so that was nice as well hehehe!!! I also made killer cookies that were gone within seconds! Here you can see the happy pappy family together, smiling looking all nice.... I had to force them to take a pic The food up close which was SO GOOD! So in conclusion to what I am trying to get at.. is that if we try to engage ourselves more with what we have around us, try to make it better in our own ways, and appreciate it while it lasts, can indeed make it worthwhile! and not have to escape reality to go on a vacations just to FEEL happy. you can be happy with what you have around you, but it relies on how you choose to live it.
Something this hot tamale taught me, and has to remind me :D
