Breath

Currently doing a 21 day meditation with Osha. He's a very wise man from what i've heard from this meditaion. Most of the teaching is about breathing. Today I put it to the test and I was pretty helpful. Try holding your pee for an hour and 20 minutes of that is walking. It was an interesting experience i must say. I instantly became more aware of my surrounding while i was practicing the breathing exercise. The cold breeze caressing my face, the beautiful yellow-orange sunset then the beautiful moon that rose up after the sun down. The moon had a light blue gray color around it with some cloud spots. I am grateful for today's experience.

Simplicity

Since my last post, I have been taking the bus to work. I must say it is a great experience, very humbling. 
God is telling me to stay humble and to remember where I came from. I came from a family of farmers, life is simple and yet extremely happy with life, even though we didn't have much then. 
Remembering as a child, I loved red delicious apples. I would savor it because I knew it was expensive. For breakfast I had rice with coffee or rice with oil and salt/bagoong. As a baby, I would ask my Aunts to just give me water with sugar since I had no milk. 
Thinking about these memories saddens me a bit because I had been excess in spending or buying things I don't really need. I guess because I didn't have everything and  I wanted everything. 
However, lately my mantras has been to live simply and happy so far I am doing well. I have no complain.Heart
