February has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. It has been a constant high and low period, a bumpy road so to speak. I made it through first and foremost with the grace of my Lord, His grace and His compassion and with the constant support from my loved ones, my support system.
I have been very consistent in saying that charity begins at home. It was imperative on my part to be charitable, to be kind and to be loving to myself. If I am not healthy, if I am unhappy or if I am not well, how can I take care of my love ones? I can only give what I have. If I do not have peace of mind, I am agitated, how can I extend love, help and support to the people around me?
Even if this month of love has been difficult for me, I am grateful that I made sometime to reassert my priorities and to take care of myself. I invested on my favorite low cost activity. :) quiet, long, solitude walk in the park.
Living within the city centre radius has given me access to the Parque del Buen Retiro, the equivalent of New York´s Central Park. I am one with nature, with peace during my quiet walks in the Retiro Park. Though I am still far from recovery, my walks in the park, have helped me recharge.
I am looking forward to the rest of February and to what life has in store for me and my love ones.
Sharing with you some snapshots taken from the Retiro Park.
