Good progress is indeed worth celebrating, right? Especially when it comes to healthier habits. Practice makes perfect.
This year, I want to focus on training my leg strength for a long-term goal of course. The most important thing about my goal is that I will be able to walk longer in the Mecca Medina area in the future to worship.
So, my husband and I have indeed prepared our physical endurance from now on. Although it seems trivial, walking does have many benefits for physical fitness and I have felt the positive impact on my body.
If my body is less active in walking, my sleep quality will decrease. Besides that, what's fun is of course that I can enjoy the views around me.
I like to take different routes for different experiences. The good news is that the people in the village where I currently live are very friendly. They always greet me first when I pass in front of their house.
On this occasion, I will share my experience of achieving about 4 km of walking distance around the village.
I started walking when the sun had risen. Around 6 am. I walked for a while in the rental house area. It seemed like a bright day without clouds.
The sun was rising beautifully, and there was also a mountain there that was clearly visible.
Around my rental house I could see 3 mountains at once even though the 3 mountains were not in the same province.
One mountain could be seen in the front area of my house. While I could see two more mountains at the back of the house, visible from the fence of the housing area.
Then, I walked through a new route. I like how people have their own way of arranging their homes.
For example, I found someone's fence that was arranged with additional flower pots. So it's multifunctional. Not only for home security but the fence can be turned into a nice flower arrangement place.
I also found many types of purple orchids around here. It seems that the villages around where I live really like to keep orchids. It seems that orchids can easily live here even if they are just attached to small wood. The orchid flowers are very beautiful.
Then, I could see a clearer view of the two mountains when I was on a route that was quite far from my rented house. Not only did the mountains look like twins but also the green rice fields!
I remembered when I was in elementary school, we were taught to draw a rural atmosphere like this. There were mountains and rice fields. It turns out that now as an adult I can see a view like this in real life.
On my way home, I saw some bright and beautiful wildflowers. I usually use them to complement my food photography.
So, I decided to pick a few of these beautiful flowers and walk home.
Then, what is the connection between these beautiful views and the title of my writing? About dreams. It once crossed my mind that I really wanted to live in a location that could see mountains from home! It turns out that now it has come true. God is so good.
So for you guys, never be afraid to dream. I always believe that whatever we dream of will come true if it is good for our lives.
I always try to be better every day and I am glad that I can cover more distance by walking. Although I am bad at running, I enjoy walking, yoga, and lifting weights.
I hope that you are always healthy and can start physical activities for a better life. See you!
Best Regards,
