Thoughts in the Garden

A few days ago, looking down at my dirty hands and fingernails while gardening at my sister's house, I wondered... whether I should go back to nature, getting my hands dirty, and start breathing a fresher air, away from this polluted city.

As I was looking down at my dirty hands, some thoughts went through my minds...

..... I don't mind getting my hands dirty with soils/dirts. In fact, most times I enjoy it.

..... I love watching something grow, especially plants. It amazes me everytime and give great pleasure in knowing that I have something to do with it.

..... I would love to feel contentment, and I haven't feel that from any job I had in the past. And I wonder why!

..... I would love to go back to nature, live a simple life in a quiet place... me, myself and I (hopefully then I would have less reasons to feel bitter about other people). I think my cat too would love the quiet life with me.

..... Maybe I should just give up on expecting to find that perfect job working for somebody (.. anybody).

I feel I should give that life a try! And I am still thinking... and thinking... and thinking... and I still haven't reached any conclusion.

No wallowing remember...

Just do what you feel you need to do. But remember that you'd have to do it with passion (well at least some amount). And that it's always a balance of work and play ... at least 1 area has to excite you a little.

Then again, who says one can't play in the dirt in the city? Isn't that what the social elite are doing?

You seem to echo my thoughts everytime. I pun feel like getting away from the city. You will never know until you try.

TTG - maybe, but doesn't have to be!!! *wink*

Jellybean - I'm in trouble! The only thing I can do with passion is doing nothing at all!!! I just love it too much to even complain about feeling bored from not having to go to work. So how lah??

Nekbat - maybe because we are sort of in the same situation! Anyway, I'm giving myself another few months (so that I can continue to do nothing... heh heh heh)
