Walking The Path

It feels a little bit different tonight, although I've had walking through this same old path every night.

Tonight feels warm and dry and smoky... The same old feelings that occurred in the midst of hazy weather that had hit this region so bad for quite some times now. It hasn't rain yet for so long up till tonight and that makes it even worse.

Anyway, I'm just back from work after my evening pm shift finished at 9.00 pm. Then, I will come along to this similar path at around 10.00 pm every night after work.


I'm not driving though. I'm actually walking home through this dim path, my every night route after work. It's dark, yes... It looks scary, well not really...

It's a small path inside a park in the neighborhood where I live. It takes me less than 10 minutes walk along the path through the park before I reach my house. There's light coming from the backyard of the houses at one side along the way, so it does help pretty much in the dark and, they're few lamp posts at several points at the opposite, as well as some inside the park too.


It's dry season now, actually. Sometimes, the smell of smoke in the air is pretty bad even at night like this. The surroundings are quiet enough to be able to hear the crickets sounds from afar. But surprisingly, the views inside the park still looks serene and calm and tranquil despite the night haziness. I thought, I'll not be able to see the moon tonight due to the bad hazy weather, but no, wait... The sky looks bright and there's the moon!


It appears to be very bright and big and beautiful, really... And tonight seems cloudy as I can see clouds glowing from the moon direction. It's pretty amazing of Mr. Moon's night view!

When I walking after half way through across the park, I come to see a tall building to my right. It's simply a scenic view of its own with the sight of the moon from high above. And, with lights from the streets and houses nearby, it even makes a spectacular night view.


Maybe it's just the same old feelings, the same ordinary night sights, but having to walk through the park every night does make me feel a bit ease especially after a long busy work. It gives me ease at mind. It gives me time to experience quietness and silence for awhile and relax the mind, each time after work.

It's always be a fine place to be regardless the hazy weather that happened badly now. But, I do hope it will rain soon to at least clear up the dry, smoky air and bring the fresh feeling again!

Inspiring Short Stories Changed Life

While others may like to read one long story in a book, I consider myself enjoy reading short stories instead.


So, what types of short stories?.. Well, that depends...

There are many types of short stories whether it's a fiction or non-fiction, western, fantasy, thriller, mystery, to name a few... However, personally I'm more into reading inspirational short stories about everyday lives and miracles. And there are people in this world who willing to share their stories to inspire you, to motivate you, to "touch" you, to lift up your spirit, even to surprise you and more!

So, where do I actually find my original short stories?.. Well, they're all from Chicken Soup for the Soul series! Talking about the book series, I believe everyone of us would have known well, what exactly the Chicken Soup for the Soul is all about. No matter if you just come across to the book for the first time or you've been a long-time fan, it's always be a type of book that will inspire you to be a better individual, to achieve your highest capability, to get control of your challenges as well as discovering the world.


There are varieties of Chicken Soup for the Soul series and I'm actually have had the 20th Anniversary Edition, The Original Chicken Soup for the Soul for myself which I had bought in 2013, and yet it's always still my one favorite story book up until today!

It has an unique one story at a time whenever I feel and need a real-life story that will empower our lives, our stories. It's never be a boring book to read. I personally have read it few times and still I keep repeating reading it from time to time.

They're all inspiring stories from great storytellers that can change the world and even can change your life!
