These are two powerful quotes that made me stop and think about Life; quotes that carefully summarize the point where I am standing now.

I saw you -finally and for the first time.

Heard you.

I was misty-eyed.

You cannot imagine the cascades of emotions going on inside me while I watched and heard you.

I cannot wait for the time to come when I can hold you in my arms.

I love you.

After all the times we’ve been together, I’m sure you know how much I appreciate you.

I have really loved you. And I have trusted all I have with you, in you.

You’ve taken care of me as I have you.
You helped me sort my life, and its mess. And lovingly, you’ve kept it all in.
You’ve given me everything, really everything you can.
You’ve actually satisfied me. You did - except for my insatiable (and ever increasing!) need for space.

Please don’t give up on me now. Please, Baby. I’ll fall apart if you go.

Something from the backyard.

Every day is a blessing from the Heaven.

Moreover, I love to count today’s showers from Above.

Music.

Carrot-apple juice.

Free ride to work.

Timely schedule of release of a Certificate. Wasn’t able to get it today but if I didn’t try to secure it today, I wouldn’t be able to get it on time. Thanks God!

I realized that if there is one thing that is going to tear my wallet down, it has got to be books.

Yeah, not food, educational expenses, or gasoline. Not clothes or even hair dos (true I spend a lot on hair too but that’s only twice every year). Not even camera lenses!

But books. Yes, B-O-O-K-S!

I always buy books. My husband constantly does, too. And then I also buy lots of books for my son. Oh we seem to have a never-ending need for books. Thus the never-ending trips to the bookstore which - dear hubster, breathe, just breathe - bleed my wallet dry!

So really, if there is something that’s going to make me broke, it’s gotta be because of these books. :-)

It was a gloomy day when I decided to bring my son for his usual beach treat (the day before it was gloomy too but the skies were not too gray).

The beach was devoid of any color except for few environmental litters that were washed ashore.

But this caught my eye:

One of the beachcombers, who was idly taking a break, owned this pair. It was simply hot, which was the exact opposite of the weather that day (actaully our trip was capped with rainshowers!).
