I had the day to myself today. I woke up at 9 but lazed around in bed upto 10:30 AM. My mother gave me breakfast and she gave me a glass of milk which is left untouched by my bedside until now. I was having a blissful time in front of the television when the electricity went away.The help at our home has also been away so there was nobody in the house except my mom and I. We chatted for a while and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic. Delving back into the pleasant memories of the past can bring so much joy. The times my mom and I used to spend together back in grade 8, talking about general stuff. Things were much simpler back then. I think we have a habit of complicating our lives by taking certain decisions whose impact is felt until much later. We have such great expectations of ourselves that we forget to make most of what we have at present. It doesn't take much to be happy, it only requires your firm decision and consent to only look and enjoy the positive aspects of your life and take the rest as it comes.Keep your doors open to people who you enjoy being with and trust me nothing will make you happier.
In no time I was hungry and hogged down the leftover Chinese food from the previous night. I was so full that going up to my room felt like a task. I rested for a while and helped my mother water the plants. This in itself is a very refreshing activity, watching the leaves getting clean, the purity in the smell of wet soil and some of the water splashing on your legs leaving a tingling sensation. Being together with my mother and spending quality time has in a way made this weekend very enjoyable. In the evening when we went to buy groceries ,on the way back we had lic lollies. My mind immediately rushed back, first back to grade 7 when I used to survive the summer only by eating these and then I was taken back to the time when I was extremely young. Every morning my mother and I used to drive up to the local market where she used to buy groceries and I used to be treated to a lic lolly.These memories dawn upon you like realisation, helping you dwell over a lot of decisions you have taken and the way you stood up to situations.
Today was a walk down memory lane, it was simple yet memorable. It is only when we appreciate the simplicity of our lives that we will be able to rise above ourselves.

Musings of a lazy morning, enjoy reading, encouraging me to re-look and perhaps start writing... Truly Child is the father of man, in this case daughter is the parent of man. Truly all the best.
