The Missouri Garden Glow is beautiful! Have you been there?

The Bataan Death March, a harrowing episode of World War II, was a brutal forced march of American and Filipino prisoners of war by Japanese forces in April 1942. Following the surrender of the combined American and Filipino forces in the Battle of Bataan, approximately 60,000 to 80,000 soldiers were subjected to extreme hardship, torture, and death as they were forcibly marched over 60 miles in scorching heat, deprived of food, water, and medical care. The march symbolizes the inhumane treatment suffered by the prisoners and the horrors of war, leaving an indelible mark on the collective memory of the Philippines and the United States, and serving as a solemn reminder of the human cost of conflict.

Enjoying life is savoring each moment as if it were a precious gift!

The warm hues of orange, pink, and red create a peaceful and calming atmosphere. Watching the sun slowly dip below the horizon, marking the end of another day, is a moment of reflection and gratitude for the simple pleasures in life.

Research has shown that relaxing yourself in nature can have numerous physical and mental health benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety.

Visiting historic cliffs is a truly awe-inspiring experience that provides a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of the world. These landscapes are often the result of millions of years of geological processes, creating stunning and unique formations that offer a window into the past.

The vast farm field stretches far and wide,
A patchwork quilt of green and brown inside.
The golden wheat sways in the breeze,
A dance of life, a gentle tease.

The endless rows of corn, a towering maze,
A haven for creatures, a nurturing phase.
The fertile soil, a gift of earth,
A promise of growth, a land of worth.

The farmer toils from dawn to dusk,
His hands at work, his spirit robust.
He plants his seeds with care and pride,
A promise of harvest, a bounty inside.

The vast farm field, a picture serene,
A world of beauty, a living dream.
The cycle of life, a wondrous sight,
A symphony of nature, day and night.

Behold the world so wide and bright,
A tapestry of colors, a gorgeous sight.
From the mountains high to the oceans deep,
A wondrous beauty for our souls to keep.

The skies above, a canvas of blue,
With fluffy clouds that dance and renew.
The sun that shines, a golden glow,
A warmth that spreads, a tranquil flow.

The fields of green, a gentle breeze,
The flowers bloom, a symphony of bees.
The forests dense, a peaceful repose,
A sanctuary for creatures, where life grows.

The rivers flow, a crystal clear,
Their currents strong, a sound so dear.
The oceans vast, a never-ending sea,
A world within, a mystery to see.

Let us cherish this world so fair,
With every breath, with every care.
For in its beauty, we find our way,
A world of wonder, day by day.

Aloneness is a time for self-reflection, introspection, and personal growth.

What is important to you? What motivates you? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Answering these questions can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and what you want out of life. Happy weekend everyone!

The solitude of traveling alone can be liberating, allowing myself to immerse fully in my surroundings and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
