Christmas is over but for me, that feeling of Christmas stays well into the new year. Come December and like every year, I eagerly await Christmas. This has been the case ever since I was a child. The preparations that begin almost a month earlier with the beginning of Advent, the decorations, the sweets, the crib, the carols and not to forget, the gifts – Christmas always has […]
December is here and that means it is a time for celebrations, of giving and sharing. And there is so much to do because Christmas is almost here. I can’t believe that this year is almost over- this year that brought along a lot of changes in my life is almost over. While I begin to think about it all, if there is one gift […]
20 years ago, I wanted to be so many things, but now, I’d rather be just me. As a kid, I’d never stopped dreaming. There were so many things that I wanted to be and there were so many things that I wanted to do. If someone asked me what I wanted to be, I always had an answer though a different one. It would […]
With a long list of things to do, From one thing to the next I run, Caught in this mess, I wonder, Wasn’t life supposed to be fun? My body craves for that restful sleep, While I battle through nightmares of tomorrow. My mind craves for those moments of peace, But I end up in the depths of sorrow. Life has become a crazy race, And I long for those days […]
I’ve always been mesmerized by nature and I’ve always wanted to see more of it by visiting different places spread across various countries. This has been my dream since I was a kid. When I was scheduled to visit Germany on a work trip and some of my colleagues who were already there told me that they were planning a trip to Croatia and Slovenia […]
Like a flower, Which grew each day, From a bud, Blooming where it was planted, Can I choose to grow each day? Spreading the fragrance of joy, Bringing a smile on people’s faces, Adding a splash of colour to mundane things, Like a flower, Can I add beauty to the lives of people around? Swaying gently in the wind, Not worrying about things that aren’t […]
There is a slight nip in the air. The gloomy weather doesn’t go well with me but today I’m determined to not let the weather affect my mood. Because this is the day that I wait for every year- every year since you left town. For it isn’t that time of the year without you. We were teenagers then, each of us with dreams of […]
At times, you can see where the way leads you. Sometimes, it could lead you to beautiful destinations, sometimes the way could lead you to a place where you don’t wish to be. But there may also be times when there seems to be no way. What do you do then? Do you turn back and walk away? Or will you make your own path? […]
When it rains, I’m reminded of all these memories that make me smile and sometimes also bring that occasional tear.
Home is where your heart belongs,
Where there is happiness to be found,
Where there is peace abound.
