One Question

On the micro blogging, social network site called Twitter, I saw one tweet from a user, he asks:

How can 200 pesos be enough for one week of vacation?

I tried to think how. Then, suddenly I realized, 200 pesos is more than enough.

Now is the last week of my three-week vacation due to semester break in school. I am just at home, living normally and simply, eating three times a day. In the first two weeks of my vacation, I am just using the computer, surf the internet at home, sleep whenever I want, think of anything for my blog. I once went out with friends, but it didn't cost me much. I play with our cats, I take care and feed the little chicks, I go to our mini farm in front of our house. Some nights, my family cooks in our mini farm, and there we will eat our dinner.

Every night, I go outside to see the stars and I love to see stars in the dark sky. Then I will sleep after using the computer, wake up in the morning and welcome the light and heat of the sun. I go to our farm and smell the fresh air.

Wherever I am, I pray. When someone asks me for a prayer to the needy, I pray. When things go wrong, I pray. When I see the image of Mother Mary in our garage, I pray. Everywhere, I pray.

Essential and best things in life are free. Things we can do does not necessarily needs money.

Thinking what to write in a blog.
Feeding the pets with the foods in the house.
You eat what you want with what's in the fridge.
Walking outside your house.
Looking above and see the stars.
Use gadgets you have.
Breathe the fresh air.
Pray to God.

All of those are free. There are so many things in life that you can do without your money. You can use your resources, things you have in your house so you don't need to cost a single peso. Your parents already provided you much, they think that 200 pesos is just additional to what they can provide.

I am not saying that you should do what I exactly do. I just want to emphasize how simple living can give you satisfaction, knowing you already have enough.

Appreciate the little things in life, you will feel rich.

You are with your family.
You are eating three times a day.
You sleep in a comfortable bed.
You can take a bath in a bathroom.
You can talk with God every time you want.
Many more..

You are rich already. Just learn to make use of your resources, you don't have to cost a thing.

200 pesos is enough for a week, more than enough. If only you would live simple and appreciative in life.
You know, some people don't know how to have 200 pesos within a week.
But you, you already have it. You are lucky, you are blessed.
