...and it's fine.
Last Friday, I had my little picnic lunch shared with sparrows and pigeons, with that view of the bay. For me, it was the best place I could imagine for those moments. A choice I made and enjoyed. Day by day, actually moment by moment, with our thoughts, words or actions we actively or passively choose how our reality will be built. Our actions have consequences we don't maybe see at first, but later the pieces fit. I can choose to have my lunch every time I have this whole-day schedule in that place...? Maybe. Maybe not. Or I can opt for a similar place; it all depends on how much time I am left with and then I can see what is the best place according to the circumstances and my preferences.
Sometimes it can be the beach (yes, I still have the beach chairs and two smaller purple Milka blankets in the trunk), other times a park, a forest, a hill... something will always arise as an option. Or maybe I will not fancy anything from these, and it will be fine too. Or I will not have lunch at all as I forgot to take it with me - it can happen easily. Right at this moment I think that it is so important we learn to accept situations, ourselves and others; even accept our own choice for the whole-day menu.
So, back to the choice of the place. Today, I was more time-limited as I added one more lesson to my schedule, so going up to the place where I had my lunch last Friday was not doable. Well, that is actually a pity as this time, I bought a baguette in the meantime to share with the birds. 😂
Beach? Hmm, no, it was a bit cloudy, and anyway, I was too lazy to walk back there to the seashore after I bought the baguette as I didn't have any bread at home.
In the end, the little blue bag carrying my vegetables and fruits found itself in a very normal park (where I didn't unpack the baguette as there were no birds around) and posed with my help for this photo.
No special views, little animals that could make me company and time for a walk? It's all fine; there will be other moments for that. The food was the same anyway, and the one who consumed it! 😁 Okay, not everything was eaten up from there, I brought home one tangerine and the muesli bar... which tells me I could make them disappear in some moments after I published this post.
But first, of course just if you want to, let me know what were the things you chose to do today and the results made you happy... or at least served as an exercise to accept the things? It doesn't matter if the choices sound insignificant... look at how trivial this choice of the place for lunch was in my case haha, but I practised (in some passive way) serenity. I can't always have lunch with a view.
That is a very healthy looking lunch indeed. But sometimes the solitude is as good as the view
Today I had more veggies which were prepared % consumed at home, but chocolate also found its way to me 😁 The balance is important hahaha
the yin and yang of food! lol
I'll tell you what I did today, which is when I read your publication overlooking the park: closet cleaning. Well, actually I've only reached the third part because I'm doing it thoroughly. For now I have already separated an entire bag of garbage... Diogenes compared to me was an amateur. 🤣 I will follow in a few hours.
Closet cleaning is always fun. Good for you and for the piece of mind! :))) Well, I need a bit of a break from that activity right now hahaha, taking into account that I was doing it in two places over a month haha. La cantidad de cosas que tiramos... 😵 para no llevarlas. Pero verdad, también he regalado bastante y vendido en wallapop muchísimas más jajaja
Yo la tengo que tirar porque si empiezo a separarla para que otros la aprovechen me da más pereza todavía. 🥹
Who was feeding the birds today under the cane canopy on that stone table? 🙂
But you had nicer weather last time, which is necessary for a nice view, so with today's clouds, the viewpoint would not be a "full hit".

The weather was desperate for us today. It was beautiful for half the day, and sunny at times, but from noon the clouds rolled in and it started to snow heavily.
The memory of my childhood made me happy today when I saw children sledding in the newly falling snow in the park near my apartment. That's how I, in my childhood, with my friends, when it snowed, spent the whole day in the snow. I was frozen but happy. Like today, when I remembered that period of my life.
That's the question indeed - who fed the birds then? 😱 😂
I didn't, even though I bought bread this time.
You are right, last week the weather was clearer and the sky was not so covered with grey clouds.
Snow and your memories - aw, that is sweet and heartwarming to see that children can enjoy that fun and remember we did the same. Nice memories that for sure can make us happy. I also loved it, just not the ice... I broke my left arm as I slipped on the ice, I was around six years old.
I understand you.
I'm afraid of icy surfaces.
Last winter i fell on the tile plateau. I didn't feel any pain until a month later. My hip hurt, and that pain lasted for more than three months. I probably bruised a nerve 😕
Everything is OK now, I'm waiting for new challenges when I walk on the ice 🤣
Your lunch looks very healthy, you eat a lot of fruit and that's good, it's a reminder for me to add fruit every day to consume, even if it's a lemon hehehehehehehehehe.
Today I went to my crochet course and I thought my knitting assignment was perfect until the teacher saw it and undid half of it, crochet is teaching me patience and to stop and watch my mistakes.
Fruits are important, and I like to take them when I am away for the whole day from home. Of course, I also like sweets and all the food that is not so healthy hahaha
That is a great exercise for patience and learning to improve and correct the mistakes. A very valuable lesson. Thank you for sharing here your moment 🤗
Nice place for lunch, and good menu, ideal for a quick lunch to spend some time walking along the beach or to rest and then go back to work. What a delicious apple, but I really like madarinas. Here in Cuba they are almost not seen anymore, a plague has finished with the citrus, I hope that someday these plantations will recover. Enjoy your lunches in the place you like the most and share with us those beautiful landscapes. Today I had a joy, they put me the current, since yesterday that by the breakage of a cable I did not have. Simple things that make us happy. Enjoy your weekend. 🥰❤️
Espero que las mandarinas y naranjas regresan un día a Cuba, son deliciosas :)
Well, that is a real happiness and a joyful moment. Btw, did those blackouts in your country finish, or is it still there, the problem? I am glad for your happy Friday moment, I wish you many more during the whole weekend. You will be back one day with your lovely posts on Hive, right? We will be waiting for them 😇
Yes I will be back very soon, in fact yesterday I had a blackout again for a day, a tree fell on some wires and affected us. This is not over, recovery is like that. My city has not recovered yet, they keep cutting the power.
Nice Sunday. A hug 🤗🥰
First Happy Musician's Day! And secondly... I love fruits, I can eat that and nothing else hahaha and my favourite one is tangerine hahaha
My choice yesterday... I ate at home but something light like salad and fruits, because the day before it was family... my brother cooked it... and I almost died of how good it was but very heavy, and me... I eat very little! So yesterday... light, soup... salad and fruit.
Gracias, you are the first and only one who congratulated me hahaha. And it is because I didn't even notice it was that day until the evening hahahaa, and today there will be a concert, for Santa Cecilia I wanted to go but "las entradas se han agotado" 🤦♀ Bueno, a lo mejor me acerco y me dejan entrar 🤣
Salad and fruits - some days we need light food just like that. But most of my days I also eat more heavy hahaha, I am afraid this winter will make many of my clothes small hahahaha
Well deserved for the pianist of Hive!!! Congratulations and enjoy the weekend.... celebrate it!
You're super skinny... I'm 1.68 and I weigh 65 hahaha
If we see this kind of beautiful view in the morning, then the whole day will be good for us. The combination of clouds and sky has always been the best.
That view was very amazing, plus you ate with that view🤩. How I wish I can experience those things.
The view is very beautiful and if we bring food to that place then we can enjoy the food in an open place with natural beauty like this which is quite enjoyable.
