Spring is here!!! - the season, i mean
Spring is here!! really. how do i know? because the groundhog saw it's shadow > 6 weeks ago!!
No way - it's not the groundhog, but the flowers. fancy me singing praises of the flowers? i can't help it. the flowers, roses especially, are literally fighting for attention. an explicit exhibition of the phrase '花 争妍’. the rose plants that line the lawn of every other house i pass, are blooming so ever glamourously that everything else pales in comparison. Honestly, i've never seen such a glorious display of roses before.
where there are no roses, there are what we call the 'wildflowers'. another magnificant display of colour and splendor. Tell me this isn't spring??? sally, did u experience this while in France?
the sun shines brightly as i jog in the afternoon, but the breeze remains cool. and hey, i'm already jogging in t-shirt & shorts. no more sweatshirt & track pants.
those who know me, i hate jogging. i only did so out of no choice - when training for competition. But as a starving student now, it is the best form of exercise - cheap n good. so, i now focus on the joy of checking out the flower display while jogging and surprisingly, i start to find the whole journey very enjoyable.
certainly this is a matter of attitude. i can choose to dwell on the chore of this bloody activity or choose to enjoy the goodness it brings. At times, with the appropriate wind direction, the air is really filled with fragrance of the flowers. Enjoyable is an understatement!! it is simply wonderful, and it gives me great pleasure.
once very often, i get to say 'hi' to some cute guys who happen to bring their trash out to the curb, which definitely adds to the fun. ha ha ha.... (Hmmmm.... sounds like the closing scene in a Sylvia Chang movie that i saw recently..... if anyone has seen her '40:30:20' .....)
Discussion with SL kinda reached a gridlock the last few days, leaving me quite stressed. But again, unduly support from HY and Pat have pushed me along. Thanks!! like i said, i would choose to focus on the good things. there is no point in getting all upset in this beautiful season, isn't it? no doubt my life is not all 'springy', but this should not stop me from indulging in this superb season.
a fren commented recently that i look fatter in the photos that i posted. that's a real motivation for me to stick to my exercise regime - u bet! (vanity has no cure, man!!)
