life sometimes bogs down on you.
holding you in a hug so tight it feels like a squeeze..
leaving you with no air to breathe and hardly enough strength to smile...
that's how life gets to me at times.
a strangling vine that threatens to destroy all happiness.
and yet at the same time, this vine gives life.
funny how it is, the amount of joy you can derive..
like the times spent with friends
and especially with family.
the happy moments seem almost surreal,
magical bubbles of joy
so sweet and memorable
i had a couple of those recently...
and in times of emotional downturns
i bring some out to lift me up
kUdos to the friends i have, and the family i love.
esp to the innocent acceptance of my baby gUrL. patsY.
there are times when all else seems to be against you.
where all you need is for someone to come and engulf you in a hug, soothe your nerves and accept you the way you are.
acceptance for who you are.
not just looks
or wit
or character, flaws and virtues
or wisdom..
just simply being me.
and being loved because i am.
anyway, i'm nearing the 2nd decade of my existence. growing old as i speak.
21st jULy 2004.
i'm in the midst of organising a chalet which will stretch frm the
20th to the 22nd.
please do remember to set those days free, and i'll see you at
aranda country club
smses will follow for more detailed information.
