Forever Vacation

Visiting my aunt and uncle is my forever vacation. But, umm, what does it mean? It's quite simple. It just means that I love them and as a result staying with them is always a delight for me.

Ever since I was a kid I'd run off to them. I must have hurt my parents I suppose with this behaviour 😬, but on second thought, I hardly believe it. You see, I have always nurtured this simple belief in my heart -- staying at my uncle's meant happiness. Because it did!

      I knew I'd be showered with love. I knew I'd be pampered with my favourite dishes. I was certain I'd have the freedom to do what I pleased. And above all, I'd spend time with my cousin sister! ( In my head she was my very own sister!) 

Meetings involving them were always surrounded with positivity and happiness. Having them as my close relatives is the first point in my gratitude journal. I'm so blessed that way. 

But like most people...in light of the current state of affairs, I hadn't seen them for a while. I missed them. I missed living with them. So I suppose it will not be too hard to believe when I let you know that I jumped, at an opportunity to visit them (safely ofc.) finally!

        I started packing--films, audiobooks and downloaded YouTube videos. I was overjoyed. The fact that there was no WiFi where I'd stay for a few days almost didn't matter. I was overjoyed to finally feel happy again.

And I did. The first day in, right on the first day of my stay, I was already on a vacation. Good food, conversations, laughs and pleasant sleep had made a return. And so had the smile on my face. 

And that's all for today. I'm just chipping in to say how grateful I am to have such people in my life. Thank God for them. Please do keep them safe. I love them a lot. My angels.

Also, I have a small prayer.

     Someday I hope to symbolise as much happiness and awesomeness for someone...as they do for me! Amen.

                                                    

This is what my heart feels; every time I stay with my aunt's family. It's always leaping for joy!

P.S.  This post is a reminder to everyone; that there is always something to be grateful for even at the darkest of times. Just let your eyes be the light and seek them out! Have a great day!
