Silly weeks #17 #18 #19 #20

As we close our eyes, we step into a different world.. a world where everything is music to our ears... splatter of rainfall, the gigantic thunder, the rhythmic sound of people walking, the rustle of leaves along the wind, the chatter of clothes on a clothesline... close your eyes and let go of all inhibitions..happy week ahead!

Let each day of this week bring us good things.. cheer, love, perseverance, courage, ability, competence, patience.. let each day of the week take us forward making us look back at good times and lessons learnt.. for each day is a blessing... happy week ahead!

A little palm that reassures, a warm hand that comforts, a soft lap that makes you forget, a strong shoulder that gives you hope, a true smile that makes you feel warm, a touch that heals... lets experience a week of magic through the people around us...! Happy week ahead...!

A mere thought that makes a swarm of butterflies flutter in your stomach, a sight in the distance that makes your heart skip a beat, that soft touch which makes you feel the warmth of your blood flow, a long conversation without any thoughts, any inhibitions, that makes you defy gravity and go head over heels. .. fall in love, be in love, for this is the first week of the month of love! Happy week ahead! 

Moving forward

The decision was sudden. The opportunity was unexpected. But yet, we decided to embrace it for a lot if reasons. After nine months of having a long distance relationship, finally D Day arrives, the much expected day, when Prem and I hold our bundle of joy and move forward. For us its a big step. Although we've faced a lot of criticism on how we're going to handle it, I know one thing for sure. We want to make this work.
As we pack our suitcases amidst the zig zag crawls of our boys, my mind races behind. Thirty two years. Well almost. The home that has been with me through and through. The home that gave me what I needed - a shoulder to rest while I was sad, an arm to hold when I needed confidence, a head to dash when I was happy, a lap to lie down on when I had to let go. The home that has seen the best and worst of me.
Tomorrow, I leave my birth place and fly to a new land. A land where the week begins on a Sunday, a land where vehicles are driven on the wrong side of the road, a land where texts are read from right to left and you might wonder why a sentence begins with a smiley. A land, where thankfully, clocks still run clockwise and time moves forward.
Hope the land makes a home to us the next couple of years.

Cheers,
Hopie
