I've Been Over The Rainbow...

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby...
Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true...

The Rainbow In My Storm...

There is a new 'certain someone' in my life. I don't know how or why she loves me so much *we'll get to that later on* but she has made it a point to visit me every single day, and it seems to be her top priority at the moment. Her name is Snuggles and she is owned by the manager of a different Company that is located some floors above our office floor. We are new to this building but eversince we came here, this little puggy princess spotted me, and now she just cannot stop visiting me! This is how her 'visiting schedule' is at the moment:


10:30am: *scratch scratch!* on our office door...

Someone opens the door...

Snuggles runs straight in, and comes straight to my cubicle *passing all the handsome hunks* ...

Snuggles sits under my desk or next to me and stares at me for a good couple of minutes...

She talks to me in her own pugyy-n-puppy lingo and facial expressions...

She hangs around me *while I work* for as long as she wants to *max she's done so far is 30mins*...

And she realises she's come to the end of her daily 'Keshi' visit, and asks me to take her to the door...

I open the door for her, and she so wisely takes the Stairs, as the Elevator would be a lil confusing to her *cos she's not tall enough to select her floor number!* ...and off she goes back to her floor quite content, having received some stranger's LOVE for the day...



So much love! From such a tiny thing who can't even talk or think as much as we humans can. The sweet gesture from Snuggles has now made me look forward to coming to work even more than before :). Snuggles has touched me deeply just as much as the lost dog who came to our house one day (remember Dolly from this post: Fruits Of Kindness). Even some humans don't know how to express love...it needn't be in large scale or in the form of grand presents. Love is as simple a gesture as Snuggles paying me a visit to say Hello. Snuggles don't know who I am, where I come from, what I do, what kind of person I am but she knows one thing about me...that I reciprocated the love and kindness she has in her...that's how Love works...you need to give love, to get love. And Snuggles knows just how to do that. Snuggles taught me that you can be the rainbow in someone else's stormy life, even if it's just for 2mins....

Tears Can Usher You To Rainbows...
And now for those who has an interest in and asked me about Baby Dee (recap A Life Less Ordinary), well I received a letter from him just last week! It was the most beautiful letter from a kid that I have ever read. It touched me and made me realise how much joy we are all capable of giving to a total stranger who lives thousands of miles away and have never seen each other. He said he lives in a distant 'village' in SL, and his house is close to a beautiful river...he also stated that his house has 1 room and that he loves his mum and dad alot. The latter part of the letter comprised of gratitude for sponsoring him as my child, but I really wish he didn't write that...only cos I don't want to feel like I'm 'helping' him..I just want to do this just cos I can, and cos 'giving' is inherent in every humanbeing and I don't wish to do that expecting praise from anyone let alone a child. The ability to give is not something that's just in me only. It's in everyone. Anyways, I forgive him for saying that cos he's only a lil baby :). So, my weekend was spent shopping for few pressies for Baby Dee...I got him some stationary (crayons, pencils, sticker books, books etc) for him to use at school, and multi-colored balls *cos he likes playing with balls*. In this process, I realised that someone else is fast becoming a huge fan of Baby Dee and was giving me so many ideas on what to buy for him etc. Guess who that is? My mum ofcourse! :) I think she's very fond of him too and has become my greatest supporter in this humble journey. I also got him a beautiful card to write something back to him and will be sending it all later on this week. I hope he gets 'immense' joy out of the 'small' gifts that I'm sending him, cos every child in the world deserves to experience joy, not sorrow, no matter 'where or what' they were born into. There would be one less 'color' in the rainbow of your soul, if you can't feel a child's sorrow...

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow...
Why, oh, why can't I?

ps: This is one of my fav songs. Listen to this version of it and watch this video, it's amazing...brings your spirit to life. Thanks Buddhika *if you read this post some day* for finding this beautiful video for me!
