*La Magia del Mondo...e Me!*

So strange... life I mean!
As time goes by I slowly realise how home, (Malta) is really HOME, when you finally realise who your real friends are, who it is you really care about, then you finally understand where your heart will always be!
I'm out of my reflective phase, the one that let my mind dwindle in various thoughts, out of which many were negative, and not to post on my blog. Although this space often reflects my state of mind I also do think that it's not the place to post problems. I want to share my positive thoughts with the world, and today as I drove home I collected them....
Malta with all its narrow-mindedness, problems, nepotism etc. still remains the home of my family and friends... it's the place I come to for sunshine, for smiles and laughs with my relatives, to hold my baby cousin (who's now three months old) and be reminded of the miracle of life (not in the religious way, but in the fascination of birth...), to walk home to my car at 3am and know I'm safe doing so (how taken for granted is that?!), to dance with Justin, jump around, spin with our eyes closed, laugh, fall on the floor, and laugh again, till both head and heart hurt...
How wonderful Malta is in October, where the morning can be spent by the sea in the sun watching majestic sailing boats sail off into the wind, whilst in the evenings feel fresh and smell the carob trees as they float along on the back of the breeze... how energising and at the sametime relaxing to drive along an empty road at 3am, with music in the background, wind blowing through my hair, caressing my face, so carefree that nothing could harm me...
How fantastic to always feel like there is someone waiting for you, looking forward to hug you and have a chat over a capuccino, splurge out news, updates, be they in work or love life... Coffee somehow does that to people... throw in a Cafetteria, a cigarette and a good friend, and it's a basic essential for a happy life...
Lastly, Malta, home to the people who show me what life can be about, how ageing gracefully boils down to smiling, how age is seriously a number, a figure for the sake of classification, how life is a constantly changing cycle, that sometimes returns to a previous situation, othertimes spirals and renews itself...
My smile is back, shining more than ever... now is time to return to "work", to my better half, to my aspirations and ambitions, that for now take me away from my first home, and hopefully will take me soon to my second one...
Good night and good luck - most of all to me...
