Definition for idyllic: charmingly simple
This has not been an alien word to me for a long time. Because on a daily basis, as long as I get to spend some time skimming a book, this word would pop up into my sight. I wished from the bottom of my heart that someday, I myself would be able to live an idyllic life. This thought consistently reminds me of transcendentalism, of Thoreau, who kept his physical life as frugal as possible, but trying hard enriching his inner life.
However, not until yesterday did I realize that my intepretation wasn't accurate. The word does not necessarily mean to merely represent not squandering in this case. It is more likely to stand for something more superior, such as a certain type of life-being in an atmosphere that we neither perfunctorily live through everyday as an unconditional routine, nor spend such precious time luxuriously but effortlessly. We need to aim for a goal, and appreciate time for the opportunities it gives us to accomplish the achievement with a tad bit of temerity.
Everyday in my life is idyllic, as I cherish it all-heartily. Yes, it is that simple.
*Yesterday was a huge success. I spent 3 and a half hours volunteering at the patient's library, since my supervisor wasn't here, even though she was expected to supposedly. During the 3.5 hours, I delivered magazines, books, and game consoles, like xbox and ps2. Everytime I received appreciation, I was on the top of the world. I totally enjoyed the process. Therefore, I decided to volunteer there, with staff members' warm welcome. I felt jubilant; I love being needed, and able to work my tail off. :)
Happy new years!
