Weekend Engagement Concept, [WE108].
Hello dear friends of this fun and enjoyable Community, today again with you sharing another of the initiatives of our friend @galenkp.
After reading the 4 alternatives proposed, I took to develop the number 2 "WEEKEND IN SOLITUDE"
.
It is Friday afternoon, my daughter tells me that she wants to go to her mother-in-law's house in Maracay, Aragua State, to spend the weekend and she gets me excited to go with her, she says: "come on mom, so we can change the environment and tomorrow we can have a barbecue and buy some beers" She names the beers since she knows that I love them, hahaha.
But with all that I answered her in the negative, "NO daughter, I prefer to spend the weekend alone, quiet and relax watching TV series", no matter how much she insisted she could not convince me.
That same Friday night, my daughter with her husband and my granddaughter started their trip from here in San Felipe, Yaracuy State to Maracay, Aragua State, the road trip is about 3 hours. Even though I advised them not to take the road at night and to leave on Saturday morning, they did not accept my advice, claiming that they wanted to spend the whole day at dawn there.
They left, I took a shower, I prepared myself a san duche of ham, yellow cheese, mayonnaise, tomato and lettuce, and an orange juice; I went to my room, turned on the TV and started to watch a very good series called "PALPITO". I ate my dinner sitting on the bed (something I don't usually do)I have never liked to eat in bed, I think it is not well seen, but at that moment it provoked me and I said to myself "NOTHING HAPPENS, JUST FOR TODAY", hahahaha.
When I finished eating, I washed the plate and the glass and went back to bed, I watched 6 chapters in a row of that series, at 2 in the morning I was overcome by sleep.
I slept very well and woke up at 10 in the morning. When I woke up I wondered ¿what I will do today? Well, at first I had a good shower and breakfast, then I thought I would go spend the day at the farm (there is no one there, only some workers who take care of the animals) and so I did.
As I wanted to do absolutely nothing but enjoy my solitude next to nature, I only took a can of tuna, an onion and a tomato to make a salad and eat with bread and orange juice for lunch (I didn't want to cook)
.
I arrived at the farm and the air was spectacular, the weather was cloudy, which made this beautiful place more pleasant. I made a coffee with milk that was exquisite and I sat down to contemplate everything around me while I drank it, infinite thoughts were passing through my mind looking at the sky and breathing that fresh air, with a total relaxation.
After a while I walked down to a place where the cows and bulls were, I spent a long time contemplating those animals, looked so imposing those brown bulls with those eyes that for me were very expressive, (as if they wanted to tell me something).I watched them for a while until I was overcome with nostalgia when I began to think about their death, I did not want to ruin my beautiful day of solitude in that pleasant environment, so I decided to go back upstairs.
I had the opportunity to see a newborn calf and it is amazing how big it is, they walk at once as long as the mother licks it to clean it and keeps it next to her for a while. I was told once that if the cow doesn't do that, she doesn't nurse it because she doesn't want it, that's why you can't separate the calf from the cow until she does that process.
I went up to the farm house, prepared the salad and ate it with bread, drank the orange juice and lay down in a hammock they have there, where I could contemplate a beautiful landscape of cloudy mountains.
I fell asleep for a long time. When night started to fall I went back to my daughter's house, took a shower, made myself a pancake with grated white cheese and pure honey.
This time I slept early, refreshed and very relaxed, that visit to the farm was great for me.
Sunday I did nothing much, I watched a few chapters of the series "PALPITO" and in the afternoon my daughter arrived with her husband and my granddaughter.
I really enjoyed my own company, I think it is important from time to time to experience being alone for a few days.
Well my dear friends this is all for now, thank you for your visit and I hope you enjoyed my short story.
