I am Choosing to Take Care of Me
“I can cut you off and still love you. I can stop speaking to you, and still care for you. I can let you go, and still wish you the best. If I leave you alone, it’s not to be bitter or petty. If I leave you alone, it’s for my own good. If I […]

“Let go for a drive, mummy!”
The other siblings seem to have outgrown this habit of greeting!
He opened the passenger car door to meticulously push in the skirt of umbrella caught between the closed car door earlier.
What do you like more, “the music or the drive”? “Both”
So we drove on leisurely, I came down to take a shot or two:- see the reflections on the ground? see the bicycles for rent? see iconic twin-towers and library in the background?
Music and leisure driving,. can be therapeutic, indeed!

Where are the kids?
