Alive & Thriving ThankfulThursday : Cold Moon & Hot Weather || AATYr6 || Prompt A Day 😊

Oh wow, we're another day closer to the weekend 🙌 The thing I don't fancy much at this time of the year is that I tend to be more distracted and a bit slacking in activities that I normally do. Blame it on the upcoming holidays. 😆 I guess the feeling of long breaks during the month of December stays strong in my memories. 😅 Well I need to shake myself from this state so I can finish this one off and somehow catch up with rest.

I went to the bank last Chooseday and took this Christmas tree photo. I remember how I used to like collecting photos of them. 😅 I personally do not like decorating for any occasions. I prefer to be an all-year all-season person. 😆

I'd admit that I skip posts these days due to distraction and sometimes 'coz I do not have much to tell. However, my daily walks continue on. You'll see I've been a little lazy so I don't even reach 4.5K steps. And here I need to do double time if I'll be able to hit 5K daily by early next year. 😒

It seems the secret to more steps is to go out and do other things. 😂 I did mention going to the bank, right? Then, yesterday I started with an activity that popped out of my mind. That's to attempt to cool down the flat by splashing water on the roof top esp. around noon time or so (when it's hottest). I did it yesterday as a trial. Then quite a surprise that it rained a bit in the afternoon so I did not need to repeat the activity after sun down.

As I failed to take a photo yesterday, I decided to do it today. That's earlier when I went up after my lunch break to simply splash water atop my flat. You'll see a large portion of it is under the direct heat of the sun. It's nightmarish during the summer months. Now, I can just continue on this splashing in order to cool down the flat. It might work as it's way cooler on rainy or stormy days. 😅 Plus, I get my extra steps too. That should help me gain more steps. Since it did not rain today, I repeated this activity before I started on my evening walk.

Lo and behold, the cold moon as viewed from the terrace where I do my evening walk. It's been zoomed 3.4 x from my mobile phone. So cool to see it shining so brightly again tonight. It's also a bit cooler outside. Wish we get more cooler weather though. It's a little late this year. 😒

I'm not yet ready to feature quotes about December, so I will focus on gratitude and happiness first. 😆 It's pretty true that if you want to be happy, focus on the good things that you have in your life at present. Try not to think much of what you don't have. Some believe in the power of manifesting. I do wonder how effective it is. I mean I do try and apply it as much as I can even in mundane stuff. Most times I'm quite satisfied with the result, but I feel that I have yet to master the art of being able to consistently achieve the results that I wish to happen. 🤔 Perhaps I need to be a bit more patient as some things do take time. Inshallah! 🙏❤️💡 I'll try and keep an open mind at all times, so I can hear and see the signs that the universe is sending me. 👀

Four days in... I'd say I'm just waiting for each day to pass, but I do have plans at the back of my mind on what comes next. Most times I log them into my journal so I would not forget. Days are passing by too quickly. Having a road map of activities or tasks that I want to complete certainly helps a lot. One task at a time... one day at a time... 📝

I actively work on these affiliate sites daily. I'm almost at the cash out level on LL once again. I'm waiting for the weekly credits from the LL coop link promotion to see if I could cash out this weekend.

Yay, it's getting near the weekend again. Although I do appreciate each day of the week, I'm simply more excited on my day off as I need not hurry at all but can enjoy the passing of time. I honestly feel more productive when that's the case. 🤔 oh well.. do remember to be extra grateful today and just enjoy your day! Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋
