Kissed by Hope...

A road lies ahead

Turbulent at times

Often running deep,

Accompanied with obstacles

All shapes and sizes

Almost every bit of the way.

What's different today!

Unswerved by the terrain 

I keep moving,

Even if just an inch

 I do not forget to at least drag,

I embrace the beauty 

Hidden in the chest of efforts

I enjoy the serenity

Taking birth every time I fall,

I gulp the storms

Life throws at me

I do not give up

For today, I am kissed by hope!

Vacation!

Drop them!

Those who don't recognize you,

Those who leave your hands on a crossroad,

Those who do not value your heart

Life's too short to have them!

Embrace a new Sun

Take a dip in the Mediterranean

Dress up like you never did before!

Wear those white shoes that take you miles

The satin-laced bra you never tried

The shirt that pictures the universe

The shorts that makes you feel young

The necklace that touches your heart

Put on the glares

that filter the unnecessary

Yes, drape them all and drop 'them' all

Go on a Vacation with your new self!

Day 27: Trip to the mountains

Our bags are packed with a lot more stuff than usual. We are going to spend a good 4 days at the mountains in Vesubie valley in France. It is around 50-60 kms from Nice. We have booked our accomodation in a small fully furnished house/gite so had loads to stuff to eat/prepare in our bags.

I am looking so much to breathe the fresh mountain air, sink in me the loftiness and the rockiness of the mountains covered with plants and snow, relax with a book on the terrace of the accommodation, and do nothing. Will be posting my experience and details on the following days.
