Warm and Full

Coming back home after several days away from the city, taking a quick shower and then tumbling over the bed only to find blissful comfort as you snuggle against your pillow and blanket and the familiar bed sheet under your skin. 

I never missed home and bed so much. 

The next morning, I woke up with my stomach growling, eyes aching to close again for another round of sleep. I was still groggy from sleep, with a series of throbbing headaches constantly attacking my skull, so I slept again. And then woke up in the next two hours to find that my stomach had stopped growling. Nonetheless, I ate my mom's cooking, sardines soup and  meat, and the rice was still warm and tender and spongy but not mushy. All perfect. 

Nothing beats the feeling of a warm, full belly after eating a simple yet delicious and warm dishes with well-cooked rice.  

Simple, yet authentic happiness comes one after another. 

Savor every littlest thing, be appreciative with what you have. Find simple happiness in the present moment.
