About happiness and contentment

It must have been the wine from yesterday night, or was it because of the wintery sunny sunday morning? I think it was because i did not have to go grocery shopping or cook anything today. Yeah, that why! That is the reason why I have been in a dreamy haze the whole day. I am quite happy how yesterday's dinner went. Very smooth. Just enough people to make the house feel cozy. Not too many like last time around where I felt very suffocated even though it was the party in my house. All friends mingled very well and the cold outside defenitely helped! Everybody was happy to be in a warm house filled with people. We finally got to show off our rather nice and ornate dining table to friends. The table is large but yesterday night laden with food, it seemed like just the thing we should have bought for the formal dining room. And I was rather very contented with the way my hair appeared yesterday night, and it helped that i was wearing matching earrings and kurti. Its rather strange, I think it was the wine, with made me feel warm and good about myself..........and very accepted amongst our friends yesterday night.

No alarm clock to wake up to in the morning. The bright sunshine in the morning pierced our eyes, always the best way to wake up on a sunday morning. And still there was no pressure to get up, because of which I decided to stay warm in bed for a few more minutes. Rest of the day just passed away in a daze, the hot and strong coffee did nothing to jolt me out of the daze. The rather nice song sung by Dominique in 'Rock On' from our IPOD(docked on bose speakers!) from the corner of the living room just added to the aura as we finalized our hawaii trip and talked of all the possibilities that the coming vacation had. The afternoon trip to the mall to buy a few warm sweatshirts for me, also got me tempted and I bought a new pair of shoes which was not in our shopping list. And strangely I do not feel guilty about it.

Next week has all the symptoms of being whirlwind busy, and i have been getting my 'regular' sunday night(!) blues for the last couple of hours. But truely this sunday was a happy and contented one. And so that i do not forget this wintery but sunny and special sunday i have jotted down about it, to remember these happy and contented moments which i forget so easily otherwise.
