The W words

You know what I think are the nature's best wonders/gifts? Winter and water. They're both so beautiful.
You know why I think so? Because they both make me feel at peace with myself.

The classic and rare 'And in this moment I'm happy' feeling.

The winter brings a warm fuzzy hug-yourself sensation with it. I've never seen snow but I bet that it would be breath-taking and put me totally in awe of it. Just the thought of sipping hot chocolate at a cozy neighborhood cafe clothed in hoodies and woolly scarves (maybe reading a book) makes me smile with elation. The blanket becomes a closer friend who I just don't want to leave. I start to think colorful socks is the best man-made clothing ever. And not to mention during the end of which, I start to dread the summers.

Water. It takes me just a shower to brighten my day. That's how irrevocably I am in love with water. Well, the smell of shampoo also has something to do with it. Seriously though, nothing can calm my nerves more than taking a warm shower and finishing it with a rinse of stone cold water. When I go to a beach, this feeling escalates as I dig my feet into the sand and let the waves wash it off. At least for once, try getting to the middle of sea and jump off from your boat (wear a life jacket, it isn't a death wish!) and just let yourself float and smile at the sun. There! You just met tranquility.

Pick up your safe haven and keep visiting it, maintain sanity. We all need it.

Till more.
