A Day of Gratitude

 

On some days, unlimited breeze, gorgeous blossoms and a good book are all you need. One such day is today. It is one of those days when the possibilities seem endless; you are happy for no reason and are grateful for the simple things around you. 

I am writing this while taking deep breaths of the fresh air fragrant with the scent of wet earth. I am enjoying the views of gently swaying trees, and pink and red kalanchoe flowers, but missing the chirping of sunbirds, sparrows and babblers. I'm certain, they have happily welcomed the monsoon after a scorching summer. Like me, they too are enjoying the chaos caused by the splattering rain over the cooled bosom of Mother Earth previously ravaged by the Indian Summer. 

Indeed, the atmosphere is inspiring. Inspiring enough to force an erratic writer like me to do what makes me happiest- write. I often find myself cowed down by the day's tasks, responsibilities and errands with no end in sight. But, I am thankful to this day for existing and pleasantly surprising me. It is indeed refreshing to grasp this little bubble of time and hide inside it even for a few moments. 

Will write again soon.
