2 months more to the end of this lap
There can be nothing more cliche and yet genuinely sentimental than saying 'Time flies.'
Finally, after a series of unusual weather throughout this year, and frustratingly humid and sunny weather in the past weeks, it seems like the monsoon rain has arrived. Just like Christmas will be here in 2 months time.
Being a September baby, I have always felt my birthday to be both the end and the beginning of anticipation. The end of birthday wishes that didn't come true, the end of resolutions forgotten 3 days after they were made and the end of birth year. September is, however, a prelude to the last quarter of the year - the quarter when Christmas is, when year-end bonus are given out, and even more anticipation can end.
The weather changes while accountants slogged on to do their year-end closing figures and teachers get equally stressed about exams as their students. Cool, chilly, wet weather. Reading on bed with the windows open, listening to some blues music or just the romantic chatter of the rain, the things that come together to inform that I'm going to get past yet another year. Making mental notes to start getting materials to make Christmas cards, Thank you cards and getting little gifts. Say 'sorry' for the hurt, the neglect; 'thank you' for the tolerance and support.
This is a romantic time of every year. Let's cuddle up and share some warmth.
