Today, Thursday, when I got up at 6 am, I was really tired, since sometimes the work weeks are very exhausting, and even though one can cope with all this, it is not easy to work from Monday to Saturday for 8 hours a day, in addition to the fact that it takes one to take the transport and everything that the transfer entails. So today I asked for another day off, to stay at home to make some arrangements and of course take some photos because in the end it is an activity that I do not stop doing, whether I am at home or even at work.
Photography is an essential part of my routine, in addition to the fact that in my case it serves as therapy in a certain way, it makes me feel more relaxed in moments where the day can be busy for different reasons, be it work or having to do some errand that generates a bit of stress, and for those reasons I usually take my camera to different places, although sometimes I do not take a single photograph, it does not matter, there are always moments.
During the day while I was doing some activities like fixing the electric stove because they haven't supplied gas in the building, I took some photos from the apartment, as well as some of my cats, after waiting for my wife to have lunch I decided to go out and buy some bread for dinner and I also took some photos of the street so to speak, although they weren't many at least I try to portray some scenes that interest me.
Basically that was my whole day although still at this moment when I write this post the afternoon is just ending and these are hours in which I start checking the hive platform, reading some posts and making my publications, which are always related to photography, without a doubt an activity that I recommend to anyone because it allows us to understand and visualize things better, to see beyond and detail each aspect of an image.
Tomorrow I have to go back to work until Saturday and maybe on Sunday we'll go out with the family to one of the natural parks in the city where I live, places that I really like because of the contact with nature, as well as the fact that it helps me to take my photographs of natural motifs among landscapes and animals in the area.
At the end of this day I'm not complaining, I was able to rest a little and did certain activities that I've had delayed due to work reasons, it's always good to take days off, because not everything can be work or simply the hustle and bustle of certain activities that can somehow generate a lot of tiredness or stress. And although this day is deducted from my salary, it was worth taking this day for all the reasons mentioned above. Who knows, maybe I should definitely ask for 2 days off a week, they are very necessary so that one has enough time to take care of oneself and spend more time with family and my pets.
All photographs are my own.
Enjoy your rest man. I can understand that been in your shoe far to many time. But it is part of our responsibilities, isn't it? Great shots btw my friend.
