mundane

defining moments:


breath-taking sunrises
humbling sunsets
enjoying the beach with someone special
gentle kisses
holding hands
the occassional "i'm-happy-coz-i'm-with-you" hug
saying "i love you" and meaning it
being under the covers with a storm brewing outside
a "feel-good" song on a bad day
awesome cloud formation
summer breeze
remembering goodtimes and knowing that there will be more to come
the conventional roses
having someone seranade you
being remembered (i don't know how you'd know though)
having a little more than enough money to spend on the 14th or 29th of the month
unexpected sms from half way across the world ;-)
good books, movies, conversations, food
friends
family members praying for you even though they know you don't pray
losing wieght even if it's just 2 lbs.
clear night sky



The list goes on I must admit. I had to make one because lately I feel trapped in a grey life with a too seldom splash of fuchsia to add perk to an otherwise mundane existence. While I did not dream of 007 adventures, I guess I didn't expect a home-work-home routine either. I feel like I haven't seen enough awe-inspiring sights, haven't been to enough interesting places, haven't experienced enough blog-worthy moments, I can't even swim, for the love of god!


What must it be like to have 4 seasons: to see them change, to smell the change and feel the change, to be outside on the first fall of light snow, to have autumn and have leaves really fall in a leaf-shower of sorts, to be in a field of flowers on some brilliant spring day and to be out at 9pm and still have sunlight, and see the stars from the desert (to quote Tom)...

And I have to remind myself that at least on my side of the world, the sunrises and sunsets are just as glorious... And if it's nothing but boring July rain, then I guess it's just me and my 2 sticks of Marlboro for the day (I'm trying to quit).
