Daily Coffee Talk~51/365

So I am changing this to from morning to daily since more and more coffee is making its way into my day. I hope that you day is going very well and is filled with your favourite beverage of choice.

Since I got back from the Emirates more than 10 days ago, I have seen nothing but grey skies and rain in Germany. I miss the sun, I miss its warming rays, I miss Lebanon, I miss summertime and I miss the feeling of being outdoors all the time.

With photography I can travel in my mind to the sun, I can be where I was when I took the photograph and I can almost feel the warmth. Our minds are amazing like that, we build all kinds of connections through our senses that allow us to travel mentally to certain moments that we mark on the calendar of our life history.

Doesn’t a smell sometimes bring back to a special moment in time that had its impact on your life? It happens to me all the time, or a piece of music, or the taste of something.

And the sun just came out as I write this… funny how things work.

Day One Hundred Ninety One, August 1, 2011

Shouly

Sincerity, humor, depth, intensity, creativity, loyalty, honesty, dignity, originality. The 9 qualities I see in her. Funny how we don’t get to choose who is in our family and we and they just arrive here together. Sometimes, we are lucky as I am with my little sister, an amazing person to know and be close to.

This is for you Shouly!
