pure happiness : the beach, sushi and us

Pure Happiness is…

a mini getaway to the Beach
so beautiful but cold
way to cold to sit by the lake with the winds gusting and us not really dressed for the chill
but rather a summer day
which it was not

do you try to skip a whole season with what you wear too?

but when we went up the street it was so much better
with the heat of the sun warming us
and big trees and buildings shielding the wind

we love this part of the city
we always pick the house we want to buy right by the lake
oh, you know in case we ever have a few million bucks in our pocket
so, we’re ready, just in case

it’s kind of just fun and silly to keep daydreaming like that
we dream up this life of living by the beach
like teenagers, like we used to do
16 years and nothing’s changed
only our love grew into a family

we grabbed sushi at our favourite place,
always ‘to go’
and found our table waiting for us in the park
always the same spot, on purpose

we found that our little one likes and embraces repetition
so positively that we just go with the same

you know the cool feeling about a déjà vu moment
well, we create it on purpose
and say things like “remember last time when we were here….”

there’s just something about old familiar places
that although time travels in light speed
this moment feels like it got stuck
and we can savour it and treasure it longer

there were also fireworks,
long conversations
tickles and giggles
and waffles –

yes, we officially switched from pancakes to waffles. ;)
