Happy Place

Psst.. hahaha.. (giggles)

Little miss Haana giggled and laughed suddenly in her sleep. I figured it must be a dream. Filled with curiosity, i asked her, "What is it Gugu".
"Come on", she said, eyes closed, still asleep and evidently at a very happy place.
I wished to find out what was going on in the dream,  so i nudged, "Ok, I'm coming. But, where are we going?". Little Miss Haana, replied in earnest,  "Come on now". Encouraged I was getting some answers, I prodded, "But where are we going?".
But like a cliffhanger, the little girl turned around and no more answers are provided. Oh well, I thought.

Next morning, when I asked about the dream, the little girl remembered. She was skipping along on air, and jumping from cloud to cloud. I knew it! I know a good dream when I hear it!

I'll Show You

This morning, like most mornings, I opened the balcony door while Miss Haana was still asleep and looked at the sky. There were clouds hanging low and the beautiful blue of the sky scattered with pinks and goldens of the rising sun.

When I turned around I found the little girl sitting up in bed, eyes still brimming with sleep. I was pleasantly surprised as I always am to see her. I moved in closer to hug her and say good morning. To which she responded with the question: 

Did it stop raining Mumma?

I said, yes Gugu it stopped raining. 

To which she prodded- is it not raining anymore?

I agreed, it's not, anymore.

And then, slipping out of the bed immediately swinging to action, she said-Come Mumma, I'll show you the rainbow.

And we headed to the balcony with a purpose.

I feel I am so deep in the "I'll show you Mumma" phase! We didn't see a rainbow and concluded he must have gone to sleep at an inopportune moment. But for the record, my little girl is my rainbow of all All times :)

Extra Terrestrials

I wonder.

If an extra terrestrial were to come down or telescope into our lives would they be awe struck at some of our simplest and yet the most amazing things here on earth?

Would they be amazed at the perfect physics of a soap bubble? Would they be amused or marvel at the twinkle in the eye induced by a floating colorful fragile, perfect bubble? 

Would they find our white cotton-puff clouds amazingly dreamy and unhindered?

Would they see our world with the same  wondrous excitement as little kids spotting a bird and an aeroplane in the sky?

Well, I'm not sure if the extra terrestrials would be impressed. There are two girls (Miss Haana and I) who are mighty amazed!
