It's been a lazy weekend..

..and a refreshing one as well. The new week is almost there - it's crazy how time flies when u r having fun! - and I don't feel the blues that are associated with Monday (that's some achievement!).

I have had a good weekend and phew! it was so much needed. You never realize what a mundane routine you have gotten into, untill you are out of it. Honestly, by most standrads, I did nothing great - just had a lazy morning, went for a long drive in the afternoon, lay down on a pile of dried up grass (it was more like hay), oblivious to the ants crawling all over me - atleast untill they tried to eat me up; and even when they did, I thought, "hmmm.. I am sweet!!". Now, thinking about it... Would I have such positive thoughts about insects biting me if it was just another day?!! Seriously doubt it.

It's amazing what 3 hours with nature, and yourself, can do to you. I thought about everything under the sun (literally!)... my life, work, friends (even the long lost ones), relationships (the ones which worked and the ones which didn't), my aspirations, my regrets, what would I do differently if I lived those years again, IF I would want to do things any different..

I realized that the world looks beautiful when you view it in the sunlight filtering through the leaves; that birds struggle to fly when its windy (hmm... life isn't so easy for them after all!!); that the chirping (and crowing) of the birds is music when there are no distracting human sounds; that its easier to be in a place where no one knows (and judges) you and that at times you don't even care; that I have only one life and I have the right to live it my way; that I should tell people more often how much they mean to me; that if I don't do it now, I may not have another chance; that I haven't done enough; and that I have a long way to go before the sun finally sets....

Now, back home, the apartment looks nicer and friendlier, food is tastier, the bed is cozier and the dreams, sweeter.

I guess my spirit is resurrected and I am ready for the grind!!!!!!
