A walk in the park

When I go for my morning walks alone at the Taman Tun park, I love the sense of peace, admiring the trees, plants, drains and slippery path while I walk. The seemingly fresh air 7 in the morning. Smiling at fellow walkers…well, some just look down and whiz pass.

It is also a time for me to check my thoughts, clear my mind. And when I reach a point where my legs begin to hurt or I can feel my tired feet, soaked top and the weights becoming too heavy and a uphill walk ahead, I sometimes wanna give up.

This is when I tell myself, this is like life…..You wanna give up now???? Then with a deep, determined breath I march on. All in my head, these early morning conversations. I hope someone understands me here. :s

Reaching the top, I feel a sense of triumph and pride. In my head, it’s like – yeah, it gets difficult sometimes, but u face it head on and you will get through it.

So that’s my every morning motivation. Some have asked why I do it alone? Of course company would be great but alone if fine as well. It’s a ‘ME’ time. It’s better than having to make conversations with someone you don’t even wanna spend time with, no?

And sometimes, when I have the time after my walk, I would go to my fave Taman Tun coffee shop for some kopi-o-peng and read paper.

I miss that routine.
