God's Art

" Art is man's nature; nature is God's art. " Phillip James Bailey

I have always been fascinated and in love with nature. Give me a time spent alone in the mountains or sea, and I will feel right at home. I am intrigued by how each day, the skies look so different and spectacular. It changes every day even if you are in the same spot.

Last Wednesday, my children had no school because the teachers had staff training. So I took the children out at 640am for a jog from my place to the Punggol Promenade which was about 15 mins jog/walk. The skies were amazing. It was quite dramatic, despite the heavy rain that took place that very early morning.

It was beautiful just seeing the clouds, the various colours, and the reflection in the water.

It makes you forget about everything as I gazed at this, in awe of God's creative art!

The next day when the children went off early for school at 630am, I cycled to the same spot and it was a different feel that morning. It was soft and subtle..very calming and misty.

There is something quite reassuring as I did my quiet time with God and enjoying His presence everywhere.

This reminds me of the book of Genesis in the Bible where God talks about how He created this whole earth in the beginning, as well as man and God saw that it was good. So let's just slow down, look up and admire His creation. 

God is good!

Workout..FINALLY!

I have been putting off my exercise lately because firstly, I don't see the need to since I am at my ideal weight and secondly, ever since I have been staying at home, I enjoy just staying put in the comfort of my home.

Anyway, I finally decided to have a good workout today because I feel I cannot stay lethargic and I should not be so comfortable at home. I need to get my butt off my bed. (yes, my favourite spot in the day as I watch TV in bed while eating lunch, lie on bed surfing the net and just lying down)

Always wanted to go swimming as the last time I swam was probably in April? So grabbed my bike, cycled about 6.8km to the swimming pool...swam 1km. Though I wanted to swim more, I decided I better keep some reserves for my return trip back home. So after the swim, I just dried myself u,  put on my clothes with my swimming costume still on and cycled home.

I figured why bathe when I still have to cycle back. So I packed light- just my towel, goggles and underwater mp3 player to keep me entertained while swimming.

I love my underwater mp3 player which my hubby got for me last year as a present. It's so therapeutic and peaceful listening to music in the water.

Anyway, all in all, I cycled 13.08km. I was burning on the way back as it was noontime and the sun was just out of control at that time.

Went home feeling accomplished and fit! Think the only time I will do it again is when the weather isn't so hot! Ok, back to lying in bed! ;)
