I Leave, Revisit, and Find Values Again
There were many values I saw last few weeks
Many things happened during the past weeks.
I had great coffee and food.
It’s good news for me.
I moved a lot.
Lots of walking and photos.
I was so glad to see people I couldn’t see for a while.
These are some of the meet the ones!!!!
1) Butterflies

Sticking upside down. This butterfly stopped on the brick wall like this.
What is it doing on this brick wall?
Is it resting or just stretching its wings? That I had no idea.
But the decorated patterns of its wings were beautiful.
It was worth stopping for a moment and taking a photo of it.
- You probably know this — I love meeting doggies while doing my walking exercises. And yes, I did meet some dogs! One of them was with one of the sweetest faces.
This doggie wanted you to rub its cheeks or head.
When this black Labrador approached me, I couldn’t stop a smile, couldn’t resist touching its face and saying hello to this sweet doggie.
If you love dogs, you wouldn’t just walk away when the smiley face approached you.
2) Sweets

Have you ever had this?
It is called Lamington. I got six of them.
It’s made of soft white sponge cake inside, chocolate outside with shredded (I don’t know but probably shredded ones) coconut. I did not make this one with the software Blender. Haha.
I love it with a good cup of coffee.
They are not too sweet. The three layers absolutely go well with coffee.
3) Meet again
I met a few people — meeting and talking to someone you haven’t seen or chatted with for a few years.
I’m not a person who is always on the phone and talking for an hour.
But, I talked with my dad on the phone for more than 2.5 hours last week.
We both got some changes in life and didn’t get to talk about them until recently. We did our catch-up talk. This and that for over an hour. I suddenly grasped his character again. Once you stop talking to or seeing someone, the memory of that person stops right there or even fades away. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE. BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. You can’t develop something from there unless you are writing a fiction story or similar.
Talking to someone, whether to your old buddy or someone, evokes old memories. And it develops new memories.
4) Applying topical care — You better use good body cream
It is good for you. I know it, but I was not using decent hand and body lotion for a few months.
My skin was getting drier and itchy. Food and drinking water matter, but I guess applying a lotion perfectly suitable for your skin is important, especially when the weather is dry.
It doesn’t have to be an expensive one. It prevents me from scratching those spots. If you scratch your skin, you are more likely to do it again and again, which creates a bad cycle.
After washing hands, several times a day, applying the topical cream is just soothing my mind and body. Don’t you agree with me?
If you say no, you don’t need any facial/body cream, I envy your skin. And please share how you do it.
Wrapping Up
These are the things that have value in doing them. I realized their values again. Covid has segregated me from people. I get to see some people and talk again, give me a thought — time was not wasted. There are things I stopped doing regularly. But, I realized I need to do those more often.
- Photograph something beautiful on the street. You capture your beautiful things that may be different from others’ views. You then can talk and write about them. And you can post the writing along with the photos.
- Walking, sightseeing, people, and dog watching and petting are always good for my mind and body.
- Do some catch-ups. Doing it on the phone or in-person can be fun.
- Have your lovely sweets.
- Apply your topical care for your skin.
There are many values we can find in this world and life.
And this is another coffee I enjoyed.
