Pep up!

The day before yesterday, I was in my "feeling low" phase of my stay in Penang.
As loneliness striked more so due to physically being alone, disinterest in everything became apparent.
Worry about the future engulfed my thoughts and left me paranoid. I tried talking to my friends, but didn't do me good, cos may be deep down inside i knew that i was the cause for what was happening to me.
That day i couldn't think of eating as aversion for food had strongly set in. Yet, hunger pangs drew me to coerce myself to push something down the esophagus.
I realised may be I should cook something delicious looking and tasting to pep me up!
And so i did, and i wanted to try some other style of cooking, so i picked up 'engai' recipe from Veds , and started cooking!
It was different from the engai i usually make, so that was a good break!
Cutting the long story short, here's what happened next...
I was satiated with the food and was happy!
Although the 'not feeling good' mood set in the moment i was alone again the next day, i decided to fight it out!
Change...that was what was required to brake the monotony of daily humdrums.
So, inconsiderate of my age, i actually went ahead and watched "The Lion King - II!!"
Trust me it helped to such an extent that i actually learnt my lessons to pep up from the movie!!
It's all in the mind!
What we think is what makes us and our days!! Self- pepping is a great way to remain happy!
And no matter how many maxims we read about happiness, it is what we learn from our experiences that finally comes to our aid!
If you have had a bad day, fight it out, cos its your thought that is telling you its bad, where as there might have been something good cos of that!
So cheer up and have a great and peppy day!!

Loadsa love
