Afternoons are Cherith's doze times, the only time I can use my phone for myself (other times are rhyme times). Janaab presented me a new phone and I was transferring files from to old to new.
In the process I went through all the thousand pictures in the old one choosing the ones I wanted to carry forward. It had pictures that were clicked before Cherith was born.
The rakhi I celebrated nearing full term, the dinner I had when the house arrest was killing me. Cherith first picture, welcome at home, rituals that followed. We three as a family happily ever after, my birthday celebration.
Cherith first coos, crawl, walk, his first Holi, Diwali, Birthday. The videos of his play times, in the Walker, mama becoming his ghoda and when he walked talked thoda thoda..
The family trips, courtship long rides, the lovely texts from janaab, miss you texts from home. The rakhi photoshoot, resort day outs and out of station weddings. Jiju and bhabhi joining our family and the newest and cutest member perithu...
Honestly I have been pestering hubby to take time out for a family trip. Though that break is a much needed one, I realised that I had such lovely memories in abundance already.
I was so engrossed in planning for a holiday that I barely remembered the little good things that kept coming my way time and again. Happens with all of us. So I spent a few hours looking at each and every one of those pictures and relived all those moments.
At the end of it, when Cherith woke up, I felt like I was taking him in my arms for the first time again.. I felt light and happy. I smiled as if I had just been to those places again, done those things again, lived with my loved ones and felt special all over again... It was rejuvenating!
All of us have our struggles and worries in life. We also have some people who make our lives extraordinary. We may not get time to come together often but we do have some stills that comprise of our memory world.
So here's a small tip to all those sailing in the same boat as me. Routine will come back sooner than we want it to but to be alive to every moment, lets take a few minutes out to go through some of the adorable snapshots of our beautiful past and get set to go along the present with new energy...
Relive and rejuvenate..
Cheers!!
God bless!
