We had such a beautiful view of the mountains and Mediterranean from our rented house in Mallorca for the past two weeks. At night, we would sit on the terrace, listening to classical music from a station in Madrid and watch the sun set. How different from my life in urban Reading -- it was wonderful to be so secluded and have everything so peaceful. I think I would have never appreciated it if I didn't lead a different life normally. I think it's only through contrast that I truly appreciate things. For example:
If I wasn't so busy at the office, I wouldn't appreciate the stillness of my vacation time.
If I didn't live in England, I wouldn't savor trips to America like I do now.
