A turn for good

Ta...da... I'm finally here! Till quite recently, I really didn't care too much for blogs. I couldn't understand why people would pen(sorry key) down their personal thoughts on a social forum and receive an inexplicable pleasure out of it? And while my sister, an enthusiastic blog writer and follower urged me many a times to read blogs and even write some, I hardly cared. In fact I'm sure out of the many blogs she has written I've only read one. But then one day, I read a guy's blog and for some strange reason it inspired me. So I made up my mind to start my own. Oddly, the inspiration lasted only for a few days and then my uncanny habit of postponing things took the better of me.
But something happened today, after a very rough month and a rough night of dealing with certain events that have doomed my life off late, something changed. I woke up today, thinking that a bad month and a bad night would translate into an equally bad if not worse day. So I decided to go for a walk, if i can't control the bad things happening around me I should at least keep one thing under control...my weight (have put on loads n loads of it, I bet it has everything to do with those jealous eyes who used to envy my hour glass figure!). Anyhow, so as I was furiously walking while trying to sort out the outburst of emotions in my head, a petite little butterfly came and perched herself on my shoulder. She kept sitting as I slowed my pace and my heartbeat(though I was scared it would fly away with my movement, but it didn't.) It patiently waited for me to calm down and when I finally sat down and took a long look at it, I felt that all my angst, my sorrow and the weight on my mind(unfortunately not the one on my body) being lifted. And then almost symbolically, it flew away too. So in the midsts of everything that had taken a turn for the worse, it all fell back into place again. And a predetermined bad day inexplicably took a turn for good.

of all the people I know you are the keenest observer of nature and beauty. So the tale is no surprise. Just an atom heavier than the butterfly
