Last night, after a
wonderful day at Muizenberg beach, a group of five and I decided to venture to
Camps Bay for the sunset. Though this was not part of my evening’s agenda, I
felt that, within this last week, I must seize every opportunity. This mindset
is not always effective when there is work to be done, but I think I have
finally learned how to balance these values. So, off to Camps Bay I went!
It could not have been a better night to see the
sunset. Without a cloud in the sky, the blue hues started quickly changing into
soft yellows. From there, pinks and purples filled the sky as the sun
disappeared. Perpendicular to the ocean sat Lion's Head, a neat sight from
other side of the mountain. After gazing into the sky, the group and I decided
it was time to eat. We headed over to a restaurant called The Codfather, which
is notoriously known for being one of the best seafood restaurants in Camps
Bay. Needless to say, the restaurant lived up to its expectations, as we all
happily enjoyed our meals. We left at a reasonable hour so that we could get
back early to finish work and get organized for the week. This helped me to
realize that though I do value deadlines and getting my work done, I also enjoy
spontaneity, good company, and good food. In life, we will always be asked to
make choices, but it is most harmonious when those choices reflect our values.
This trip has taught me how to be more aware of my values and thus the choices
I make. This consciousness is now forever apart of me, but a practice in which
I must put effort into. May we all be conscious of the values we have the
choices we then make!
