Isn't a free-spirited life, like deciding your menu while shopping, acceptable once you've gained some experience?

I think many veteran homemakers decide on their dinner menu while shopping, checking for good deals or discounted vegetables inside the supermarket.

It's common knowledge among homemakers to eat before going out to avoid unnecessary shopping driven by hunger or cravings, but the pattern of deciding on a menu beforehand and buying only the necessary ingredients is also considered common sense, isn't it?

It is often advised as a way to keep unnecessary expenses down.

However, unless you are the type of diligent person who checks sale flyers in advance, I think it's better to decide after taking a look around the store rather than deciding on a menu before you go out.

It's more economical to check for sale items at the store, keep a few days' worth of menus in your head, and buy versatile ingredients that can be arranged in different ways so you don't get bored with the cooking methods.

I think this way of shopping is only possible because of experience, but I intended for today's talk to be about life and how to live it, not about cooking. 😓

Well, even if a life looks like it's just going with the flow, if it's a way of living that exudes the person's life experience, I think it's fine even if it looks unplanned to others.

In the first place, the idea of planning your life... might be the very thing that makes life boring, and life is something where you can't predict what will happen or what is waiting for you, right?

So, while it's fine to live with risk avoidance and efficiency in mind, I think it's also okay to live naturally—or rather, to accept your life as it appears before you without plotting this and that, and just go with the flow.

I have a feeling that's the case.

You can grade your own life yourself, so being satisfied with it is the most important thing.
If you live to have others grade you, I think you'll feel a sense of emptiness at the end.

No matter how much you earn, even if you have bundles of cash put in your coffin, they will burn with you in the end, so their value will disappear.

Things, including money, will disappear, but thoughts and feelings remain. As long as they remain in memory, they are immortal forever.

Aiming for that kind of immortality, it seems like it would be a more meaningful life to accumulate memorable experiences.

Don't you feel that way?

Since we were born into this world crying 'waah,' at the very least, when we say goodbye to this world, I want to say goodbye with a smile.

Otherwise, the balance between tears and laughter won't be even, right? (^_^)b

So, this time, it's a story about how it's okay to have diverse ways of living, including a
"free-spirited life, like deciding your menu while shopping, which is acceptable once you've gained some experience". 🤗
