A Taste of Memory and Gratitude

There’s something special about a simple plate of rice and stew. At first glance, it might look ordinary, just boiled rice with red stew, garnished with onions and fish. But to me, this plate tells a bigger story about comfort, survival, and finding joy in small things.

Life can get overwhelming sometimes. We face stress, responsibilities, and moments when it feels like everything is too much. But no matter how hard a day gets, food like this always brings a kind of peace that words can’t explain. It reminds me that no matter how busy or tough life becomes, I must pause and take care of myself.

Growing up, rice and stew wasn’t just food , it was part of family moments. On weekends, my mum would cook it, and the aroma of the frying stew would fill the house. We would gather around the table, laughing, teasing, and sharing stories while eating. Back then, I didn’t realize how those little meals were teaching me about love and togetherness.

Now, whenever I sit with a plate like this, I feel connected to those memories. It’s more than just eating , it’s a reminder that even simple things can carry meaning. A plate of rice can be filling, but it can also be comforting. It can tell a story of family, resilience, and the beauty of appreciating what we have.

So, through this photo, I want to remind anyone reading, never look down on the simple things. Even a plate of rice and stew can hold lessons about gratitude, rest, and love. Sometimes, the small moments , like enjoying a meal after a long day are what truly keep us going.

I hope you enjoyed this short journey. Until my next blog, stay well and keep appreciating the simple things.
