Dear friends and teacher,

Years ago I wrote this text in my diary; of course I wrote it in French which is my mother tongue. I decided to translate it into English so I could take part to this fun writing challenge…

Dear Raj,

I have had the happiness of receiving my first letter from EC’s sweet member, you. You know I wasn’t here for a while, that’s why I asked one of my neighbor’s to keep it till I came. I almost lost my hope in getting it in my hands and reading it. But, thank God now I have…

Dear Chandna,

I went to Goa last weekend with my family. Goa is located in West India and renowned for its beaches. I was enchanted by its scenic drives.

My family and I reached Margao, headquarters of South Goa, on a sunny day. We hired a car and visited Palolem Beach. This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Goa. It is a natural bay surrounded by lofty headlands on either sides.  Kids had a great time playing in the beach. When it became too hot, we somehow…

Dear Muge (Mommy)

We have not kept in touch for  a long time and you may be wondering what  I am up to . I got a letter from you in Turkey , dated October 15th 2011. Much to my dismay , thanks to the crawling  postal service here in my country , I got it only today!

At that time I was not in Sri Lanka as I was in Australia for my daughter's graduation . I was  fortunate to make it with my husband  and share some  beautiful memories.

       Actually I don’t want to use this title. But today, I have a “cold war” with my hubby. And he said : “honey, remember that You are my rib. If I want ….then I will take it again” hahaha….Really? Well, let me list what would happen if there were no women in this world.

Why it's better to be grateful than complain..

Sometimes, I have days when I can't see why things couldn't just be better. Sometimes, I get annoyed by the small things and sometimes I can't see how truly lucky I am to have the life I live.

I guess that happens. When things don't go your way or the way you want, you dwell on why it couldn't be better instead of thinking how it could be worse.

I realized this when I saw a picture of an old woman selling her merchandise. I…
