Salam (Peace)!
Oh-my-goodness today is such a beautiful day. I love it when the sun is shining so wonderfully in the sky, warming up and illuminating everything around it in the morning. And it's not a dull afternoon sort of sun but that sharp, crisp sunshine. Does that make sense?
Anyway, so I've been going to sleep much earlier now that I've overcome my insomnia (technically I never "had" insomnia but I had bad sleeping habits) I get up much earlier. Which, I have to admit is really quite nice, because you get a start on the day so much earlier. Whether or not you accomplish more...well that's up to debate.
But, I was up early this morning (Alhamduillah) and so decided to go to the library and then later to the restaurant to eat my breakfast. I just soaked up the sun! It. Was. Gorgeous. Subhana'Allah. As I made my way to the library you could see the mountains in the background, strong masses with still very snow covered tops, and the fields all around.
Plus, where I live it's all pleasantville-ish, in that everyone knows everyone more-or-less and therefore we always wave and say goodmorning/day whenever we pass by. So it's really quite warm, and welcoming. Which is probably why when I was in Montreal not to long ago I found everyone to be really rude. Why? People just don't smile at you...like, period. Not even cashiers!
This, I must add really got to me, because in the western part of Canada everyone is more friendlier (so I've noticed anyway.) Even when you don't know the person you smile, or say 'Hello.' That's what I'm used to. So when I was in Montreal visiting my brother and I was smiling or saying 'Hello' to the cashiers or whatever they just looked at me like I was crazy! And I'm not even someone who is very extroverted. Honestly, most of the time I barely speak with others. But a simple smile, or 'Hello' now, even I can manage that, but there...yeah right.
That's ok though, their pretty surrounding suburbs and hip downtown more then make up for it. Though I prefer the suburbs myself, now those were gorgeous there!
Moving on...
I had soup for breakfast. SOUP! For breakfast, no less. No, it's not because I have nothing else "breakfasty" in my house, it's just that we're doing this sort of cleanse thing, in which you each a really good vegetable soup for seven days. It's more complicated than that, I mean there are way more rules. Like on day one, you only eat the soup and fruit (save for bananas). But spring is the best time to flush out the toxins and impurities in your body, giving you a fresh and lighter start to summer!
Everyone should clean out their bodies, much like spring cleaning actually. It's very refreshing, but I do warn, quite difficult in the first few days. According to nutritionists you should cleanse at least twice a year.
And last but not least .....
My lil brother bought me Howls Moving Castle! I feel so special. But I rented already and watched it, and yes...it rox my sox!
And that's not all...I also bought myself Whisper of the Heart! My Hayao Miyazaki collection is slowly building. This movie also was really good.
Ok. Well the news is on in the background and I, in usual 'Pink Gerbera' style am late to know, but France is having problems again. This time a bomb went off on the auto-route? I think, and I must say that now I'm kind of upset and sad. WHY!?
I'm going to look this up.
Till next time, have a great day!
