I found 2 four-leaf clovers yesterday (one was mostly eaten by insects) and a five-leaf clover today while having my lunch break on the park.

The weather has been really nice lately and it's warm enough to have lunch breaks outside. Lovely blue sky, cool breeze, warm sun and a peaceful shade under the tree, with the sounds of birds chirping from afar.

I feel so blessed to be able to have my lunch breaks resting on a field of grass. I was enjoying my coffee and ice cream while browsing the clovers. I found a five-leaf clover ❤️

Since March, I had been experiencing some leg pain due to nerve issues in my back. I had mornings when I would wake up feeling so much pain in my back and leg and I felt so miserable. I immediately went to physical therapy and currently going to the clinic for it twice a week. I also had a ten days off from work due to holidays and paid leave so I was able to take it slowly for some time.

This morning, I woke up a little earlier than my alarm clock and enjoyed a few minutes just rolling on my bed and enjoying the warmth of my blanket. I realized that I had a deep sleep for more than seven hours and that there was no pain in my leg or back. I spent some minutes doing prayer and gratitude. So thankful for that much needed sleep.

I got up the usual time I as I would but somehow, today was calmer and I wasn't rushing even though I had to prepare for work as usual. I had a plentiful breakfast (with banana for dessert!) and now I have extra 30 minutes to slow down and enjoy coffee before work starts.

It's somehow so interesting how different it is spending time without that pain (my leg would still ache from time to time) and I managed to get half an hour just with my thoughts and coffee.

I also just found out that this cafe had a terrace so now I can sit down and enjoy my coffee under the blue sky. It's a wonderful day!

I feel like no one in my life understands this but for me, it's always the simplest things that make me feel alive.

When I make coffee, I like seeing how the milk blends and mixes with the coffee. I also like hearing the sound of the ice cubes as I stir my coffee.

I also like just looking at plants just because. And also flowers, they make me smile and feel warm.

I enjoy the simplest greetings like "good morning!" and "good night!"

I've always been laughed at or even scoffed at whenever I express things like this and I had always wondered if something is wrong with me.

I'm in my late 30s and perhaps this took me a long time to realize, but other people don't have to understand or accept this. I should embrace who I am regardless of what others think.
