Happy day, happy thoughts!

Today is one of those few days I felt truly like my usual happy, crazy self since moving here. Ramazan is over and today is eid so we went to galle face to have fun. I flew kites with the kids and it was sooooo much fun. After that we rested on the beach and had delicious cornetto. There were beautiful breezes and there were birds and colorful kites in the sky. As I sat there on the beach and watched the kids play, and the adults trying to feel comfortable on those blankets while they ate.. I felt thankful for being there.

I do not have the perfect everything. It might seem perfect but no, my life is not perfect. There are tough times and happy days like today. I don't have even half of everything I want.

But I realize that it could have been worse. I dont have everything but the little things I have make me so happy. Like nail polish and pretty hair bows. My family might not be the perfect family, but dad sent me chocolates and they make me happy. My aunts, uncles and cousins are soooo crazy that they make me scream sometimes but they are fun and they love me a lot. And above all, I'm with an amazing person and he makes me the happiest. Sooo... LOTS of things to be thankful for.

Here is a million silent thanks heavenwards.

One Fairytale Dream

One of these days I'd have my own family
People whom I'd hold close, oh so dearly
I have so much love in my heart, to give
To those special people for whom one day, I'll live

The man I so long ago dreamed to meet
A husband ever so strong, ever so handsome, ever so sweet
I'd be his sunshine, in every way I can
And one in a million, would be my man

A daughter,sugar and spice and all things nice
As pretty as a doll, but nonetheless wise
Daddy's lil princess, so true
And a mommy's girl through and though

And then, a lil boy to call my own
A son, with a gazillion toys would he be strown
Naughty , fun, spoiled lil boy he would be so,
But of course, only to grow into a loving son forevermore

This would one day be my world
One lil family to cherish, to love and to hold
So perfect a world, one love-filled stream
Dear god, may this one day be more than a mere teenager's dream

The weird post..!

"Mama, can I reach the stars?"
"No honey, you can't reach them.. They are far too high for you"

"But mama, will it be a happy place?"
"Oh yes my sweet little girl. Its gonna be a very, very happy place"

"Okay.. I wanna reach the stars. I wanna be happy"
"How many time did mama tell you, you CANT reach them!"

"I'll try. your girl would reach for the stars mama... you might find me back with the moon. It would be a very very happy time"
