As a summer loving person, the minute March peeked its lovely head; I was naturally at my happiest. Ever since the world began, I have always loved the summer season – the start of freedom from all the school works, attending summer workshops, family gathering, Kayaking and everything in between. Most of my “unforgettable” anecdotes were summer related.
Although summer was never the same again for me after I started tackling the corporate world 6 years ago but my love for such a wonderful season will never cease.
March 2009 was a real challenge for me. There were just too many dramatic episodes that literally sent me to a foreign land and doubts about my andtheylivedhappilyeverafter emerged. Trust me when I say that the drama was really worthy of the Greeks! Ha! What the eff can I say?!
With a much cooler head, I reread my handwritten journal, browsed through the dates when I was really down and thought that I was indeed such a mess. But such experiences made me see the beauty of life and the in betweens. That while it was difficult going through that, after such a storm, you just know that you have bounced back – and oh so well.
I look now at those earthly angels who never seem to have learned the ropes of giving up on me through a pair of rose-colored glasses. More than my Matchbox collection, they are my real treasure.
Sadly, I too have my unwelcoming contributions. I can be the worst cynic alive and I am aware of that. Changing one self and perspective is such a lofty goal but I have been told that to change the world one has to change himself first.
Things may not turn out pretty well at the onset but my spirit cannot be dampened - not on my favorite season.
