Today is lovely. It’s Sacrifice Day in the Muslim world which means today is a public holiday. Since I am not Muslim I am at the office but that’s ok because no-one else is. There really is nothing going on. Today is lovely.
Woke up this morning to a bright sunny day with the rays beating orange and yellow onto the hard green and brown terrain of the mountains that surround the valley that we are situated in. The air is still bitterly cold but the sky is bright and that brings with it the uplifting sensation for the mind and soul.
Since no-one is around, it’s all pretty quiet. Offices are barely occupied. Construction sounds from the nearby job sites are non-existent. Every once in a while I will see a smiling face walking by wishing others a HAPPY BAYRAM. Apart from some faint noise of a celebration party going on in one of the recreation centers, there is a faint sound of a breeze through the trees and the lapping of the water of the river Fan that passes us nearby.
Pity not every day could be like this. But then we wouldn’t be here doing a job. It’s times like this that we should use to relax, reflect, chill and clear our heads and focus on the positive.
My positive #1 : I leave here in about a month. You will not believe the smile that brings to my face. Going on to newer, bigger and better things. In this case, the grass really is greener on the other side.
Happy Bayram everyone. Raise a glass of cheer.
