A new one.

Well, it is for a "new one"... I am heading back to the daily hum-drum of life, after a long leisurely vacation and a relaxing time at home. And this time, the "me" who is going back is a happier, stronger and surer one. And of course, to a different "life" than the one I left behind. The new-ness of it all does give me those butterflies in the tummy!!

I am really looking forward to what is in store in life ahead, in the few months to come. Having decided to take it as it comes, I shall let the sweet things be cherished and the not-so-sweet ones be taken with a pinch of salt.

Leaving, with a new page for life to scribble its text on, and I can almost smell the fresh smell of the parchment :)

Still very much in love, with life, and with myself. :) :)

Smiles everyone's way.

Till next time.

Friends

Happy Friendship's Day!

Friends :) I identify with someone who said today that being an only child, my friendships have defined and completed me. This is true for me, not that I have many "true" friends. I have had friends all over the country, with Dad being in the Army and having travelled widely in the country. Yet, the lasting ones and the ones I cherish most, are few :)


Friends...came and went, some stayed for a while, and some forever. 
They all left a mark, some short-term, and others, lasting ones.


However today, when I stand and look back, I cherish the friendship I have with few special people...single digits to be precise. Why?? Because they were with me when I had no one, and they have been there to pick me up from the depths of despair every single time I tripped. And never have they said "I told you so". Ever.


What makes me happy today is that I know there are people out in this world, who I can bank on, and who shall vouch for me all the same. Very few, I agree, but nevertheless, they exist. And their existence is enough to make me smile on those days when the sun does not rise and shine for me. 


And today, I would want them to know that I love them with all my heart, and shall strive to be there for them all the way, in ways more than I could hope for, and that I cherish every single memory I have of them, and with them. Our bond is eternal. 


Love to all.
