Everyday Beauty, Health and Living

Been feeling mentally drained these past few days and weeks. Found this heartfelt quote…

“Wherever I am in the world, all I need is the smell of eucalyptus to recover that lost world of Adrogué*, which today no doubt exists only in my memory.”
– Jorge Luis Borges

In my lost world of Adrogué, instead of the smell of eucalyptus, it would be the scent of wild honeysuckle in a summer night’s breeze.

I like this photo where it looks like the sun will always come out, especially after the rain. Photo by PhotoDictionary.

* Adrogué is a city in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. At slightly more than 30,000 inhabitants, it has numerous cobbled streets, lush trees and several town squares.

    There’s always hope that the sun will shine after the storm. As for me, I love to hear the birds chirping in the morning, and crickets and frogs at night.

    Some days it seem I can only hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

    Your description is very much what my parents would say is a perfect day in the Lao countryside. :)
