Picnic Amid Pandemic
Hello,
It's Friday here, TGIF I don't care. Thank you for the encouraging notes after reading my post yesterday, even Chean gives me a kiss on my forehead this morning.
I'm doing superb, I really am. I learn that embracing my vulnerability and imperfection helps me judging myself less harshly... Not just that but it also makes me more compassionate and kind towards myself. Ya, you hear me right, I'm not being self-centered or self-absorbed, I say this because I was once the cruelest slave driver to myself; hence, I'm learning and practicing to love myself more even when I don't or can't meet my own or anyone's expectations. It's ok to feel demotivated or discouraged, it's okay to feel what my heart feels as long as I'm honest to myself. Recognizing and embracing my own feeling actually helps me unstuck the current situation and eventually escape the negative thoughts.
Feelings are temporary, like everything in this world :)
Yup, especially the good weather in San Francisco during Summertime. So I told Chean I wanted to bring the girls outside after his last meeting of the day at 4.30pm, for a picnic, for bee watching, for mental escape or for the sake of we're stuck here the whole Summer... And we did!!! It turned out to be one of the bestest things that happened this week.
I dressed up. I put on my favorite makeup and a new summer dress.
#1 A lady is always a lady πππ
#2 Beverly will always be Beverly no matter how much weight she puts on, lol. So be it, I donn't care. ζζε°±εΎε¨δΉοΌεεοΌ
#3 Beautiful weather called for a relaxing afternoon.
I love picnicking, and I'm always picnic-ready, haha. My picnic blanket is always stored in the car trunk. I think it's because my mom used to bring me and my siblings picnic at Lake Garden every Sat morning when I was young... Relatives and neighbors would laugh at her saying that she brought us to εθ (feed the mosquitos) πππ But I had the best childhood memory playing by the creek, running barefoot on the grass, feeding the birds... It's true that I always got mosquito bites, lol, but staying indoor will also kena bite what.
So when I have a family of my own, I bring them picnic whenever I grasp a chance to do so.
#4 Both of my girls love spending time together, doing nothing but enjoying the nice weather, just being present and being grateful...
#5 Ohhh.. Okok... Sorry, actually these two did A LOT OF things... Summer was playing ball with Daddy Chean.
#6 Chloe was busy making a flower headband with the daisy; she's so good at it πΌπΌπΌ
#7 Aww...
#8 Such a garden fairy θ±εδΈηε°η²Ύη΅ π§ββοΈπ§ββοΈπ§ββοΈ
#9 Collecting more daisy to make me something special...
#10 A minimalist daisy ring, so delicate and elegant, it completed my OOTD.
#11 Token of appreciation. I gifted her a mini bunch of random blue flowers...
#12 L.O.V.E.L.Y!!!
#13 This pic was taken when Summer first got up from nap...
#14 Aww... So precious...
#15 "It's D.A.I.S.Y. mama, yolk (her unique walk of saying look)" πππ
#16 Chean is finally appearing πππ
#17 A fraction of how our daily life looks like...
You know what, all these great pictures that I took, edited and posted here are just a very tiny fraction of our life here in San Francisco, and most importantly, I intentionally chose the prettiest pictures to publish on my blog just because... It's a blog. Right?
The majority of my daily life actually consists of boring and tiring errands and chores, just like the average moms or women. However, when days like this knock at my door occasionally, it's hard to see it slip away. Therefore, I seize the day so that I can look back at all these beautiful moments and think to myself,
"Life is full of beautiful potential. Let's get this basket of laundry down and go picnic again someday~~" πππ
Love,
Beverly
