Celebrated 4th wedding anniversary this sunday. It was a day out with family and I could not ask for anything more. Hubby got me a beautiful bouquet of blue orchids which something I dint expect. We started off from home after breakfast and reached the resort within an hour. We spent a few minutes at the kids park watching Cherith play on the spring duckie and playing the slide. Me and Sany played on see saw while Bhabhi and mom enjoyed the swings. After a few minutes there, we took over the garden area and went back to childhood playing lock and key and throwball.
Later, me, hubby, jiju, bro and cherith took a dip in the clear water of the pool. I loved watching cherith play splash in the water. He also enjoyed sitting on hubby and bro's shoulder walking through the pool and I was amused at my incapability to swim. After a delicious lunch, we went to the basement indoor games area and played badminton and table tennis. Back into the garden area, we got into playing blindfold and I must admit we all enjoyed it the most.
You might be wondering why this elaborate description of the day out. Well, just to remind myself and all of us of the priceless gems that are are with us and go unnoticed.
Honestly, I did not expect any gift from hubby, that was a really pleasant surprise. No matter how flourishing our relationships are, a simple gift works as a rejuvenation for a tired body. A few flowers are a reminder of the tenderness and care that they require and just like a bouquet of flowers, relationships also need acceptance and surrender, only then will they blossom.
The kids of this age are no close to what we used to be. They are into the gadgets even before their birth. We have to explain to them the importance of physical games. Gilli danda, lagori, lattu and marbles are like ancient fictitious games to them. However, no matter how many facilities we give our children, they enjoy the swings and see saws and slides with utmost joy.
We have vehicles, trains and flights to travel. But a drive with loved ones with chitchat and soothing music is nothing less than medicine to the soul. Even day dreaming or a few minutes in the pool all by yourself works like magic on a stressed brain. No matter how much we achieve in lives, fulfilment is when we spend moments with ourselves.
We may have climbed mountains or run marathons, we may have been in touch with friends from college and school. Meeting once in a while, going through the pranks we played and reliving the stunts are nothing but invaluable. No matter how wealthy we become, priceless games of the childhood bring us alive again.
And the one thing that we all know but barely acknowledge is the presence of the few special people who make our world. These are the unseen pillars of our infrastructure, the pebbles in the jar, the few blockbusters of the year, the few notes we save for the rainy day. No matter how many friends we have on social media or on phones, our family and a very few friends are the ones who stand by us in the true tests of life.
Thank you all making that one day a part of my "Best memories". Lots of love...
Cheers!
God bless!!
