December is the season to travel. To holiday and to make new rules for a new year. With December turning into January, friends who were away started coming back to crawl back into the routine that's life.
A random "how have you been?" phone call from a friend turned into a meeting when I simply asked my friend to come over in the night for a casual dinner with her hubby and naughty son.
She came, with a salad that looked scrumptious and I on my part made a vegetarian rice mixture with a pulse dish. We talked. Ate. Laughed. Remembered the old and called for the new.
Life can be good. It can even be great. We just need to remember the importance of the little things. And then stick to it.
Her December was a trip to the Southern part of India - a place called Kerala. One that enchants and sweeps you off your feet. The calm of the backwaters and the breeze and the green trees can cast a spell over you that's impossible to break off. She enjoyed, as did her family. She brought me a delightful pair of green wooden bangles which look uber cool on practically anything. I love them. She also gave me a box of exotic spices which add a delicious taste to food. Any food.
Life is good. It can be great. It just needs a little of everything all the time.
