Neither chilly nor humid weather
What is your favorite type of weather?
A serene monsoon evening spent by the fireside, relishing freshly roasted sweet corn or maize with cherished loved ones, is indeed a delightful moment to treasure. However, if I were to choose a favorite season, it would undoubtedly be spring, when vibrant flowers bloom and melodious bird songs fill the air. Moreover, during this time of the year, an array of local products from Mother Nature’s bounty enriches the experience. The weather is pleasantly temperate, neither oppressively humid nor bitterly cold, allowing for the freedom to wear clothing of one’s choice.

Solace in moments of laughter
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
I find solace in moments of solitary laughter, accompanied by the melodies of music. In those moments, I offer prayers to dispel any lingering negativity. Engaging in household chores or tending to my garden serves as a welcomed distraction, allowing me to immerse myself in tasks that soothe the mind. Today, I experienced a similar wave of emotions and indulged in a room makeover, a delightful endeavor indeed.
