I am stuck. Most of my letters have fallen in to place. With the exception of M. Even when the day rise, she is not here. My M. I see my friends starting to post their M blogs, but my M... where is she?
The candidates are many: Maldives, Marathon, Malaysia, Mustique, Meandros, Malabar Hill, Miami or I could go visit to the Maharajas in Jaipur? I love all those places, but where is my passion today?
Naaah... Today I want to stay at my balcony in Mumbai ( oh - another M), having my chai and being in company with only my chili bushes, and roses, and I want to travel off in my mind, maybe back in time? Just stop up a bit and dwell with all those moments which are gone. They are in the past - which seem like a dream now. When I close my eyes and think back, I can still travel back and catch them again. Those moments. There is something dreamy about it. I close my eyes, smile and think back to that moment....
...when I was laughing so hard, something which made it very difficult to climb back up on that banana boat again, after being thrown off in the Aegean sea (again and again)..:
... when I was so moved, sitting on the beach watching that old lady looking out at the sea at sunset:
... when I was bubbling of joy, pride and love for watching my kids having a joyful time - wherever it was (here my youngest in white cap on a football camp)
... when I felt happy sharing dear friends' moments of happiness and love:
... when I was feeling grateful and happy, sitting with my tea cup in the morning looking out the kitchen window, welcoming a new day and new possibilities.
.... when I am just bubbling over by thinking of funny memories:
And those moments are life herself right? Whether you are on travels or at home - they are there. The moments you remember: the funny, stressful, sad, angry, annoying, bubbling, cheerful, amazing, awful or crazy ones. They are life herself, and that makes them worth cherishing...
Yesterday we went to Norway - Lofoten. After a relaxing day today, I promise you that tomorrow I will manage to tear myself loose from my balcony, and we will make some new memories together, exploring an amazing place, that I am exited to take you to. Well, to be precise, a dear friend will be our guide for the day when she takes us to her dream destination... Get ready for .. N...

DeleteYou are right, those moments are life itself. The little, happy, sad, funny, tragic moments together make up a complete life. Our memories keep those moments alive and we take them out once in a while, sitting in our balconies and smile, sipping our chais :) Loved your post today.
