Sacrifices

This is my first time writing outside the house, the breeze is too tempting so I decided to lug my notebook outdoor and write. It is great to sit here overlooking the pond with the breeze blowing through. Kimi is hanging around recovering from her bout with the snake, she is back to normal, harassing the monitor lizard up the tree. Would be leaving this evening for KL to catch a flight out of MY for a few days. The prophet would be spending a few nights here to help me take care of my dogs and house. Thank God for good brothers. God has bless me with many good brothers.

 

There’s a sense of loss as I would be missing my four legged companions. Somehow getting up early every morning to feed them, clean the area and running with them has become like second nature and not doing it seems to leave me with a sense of emptiness. The time spent in the cool mornings with the dogs is precious and can’t be describe with words. Evening time spent next to the pond, throwing sticks into the pond for Furry to fetch, these are priceless moments. I am glad to have made the decision to move here away from the city. The air is much, much cleaner and the pace is much more interesting. No slow mind you, there are lots to do but you live and move with the weather. Physically I feel much better, all my pants are now too loose that means I have shed most of the excess fat round my waist and further I have more stamina now. In the beginning I felt like it was a sacrifice for my wife and I to leave the comfort of city living but now I don’t think of it as a sacrifice, there’s much that I miss about the city but progressively I feel an attachment to my life here. Blue skies are common, cool mornings, cool nights without any need for air conditioning, in fact we had no AC installed, it is nice to be awaken by the sound of birds chirping, to be able to listen to ‘noise’ by the crickets and insects at night. Do fishing anytime you feel like it… the list goes on. In short what started out as a sacrifice is no longer one. I did not sacrifice, I left for something better.

 

How time flies, we moved here on 22^nd June and now it’s already 30^th November. I really do hope our parents can come up here and experience the different life here but I guess they do not wish to trouble us. My better half is still traveling back and forth every week to tend to the unfinished business in town, something I am committing to the Father to resolve. After all much can be said and done in life but at the end of it, ultimately it is God who will decide how it is to end. We think that we are wise but we are a long way off if we do not know realize how little time we have been given on this earth. Time is something we can’t hold on to, once passed, it is lost or gained depending on us. Anyway, hope to be back soon. Take care all and God bless and keep all of us in peace and one piece.
