Today was one of those days that feels light from the inside.
No pressure. No overthinking. Just time well spent with family and friends.
We did a few activities together – nothing fancy, just simple moments filled with laughter, movement, and shared energy. And that’s what made it beautiful. Being around people who make you feel comfortable and seen has its own kind of healing.
What I noticed today was how present I felt.
I wasn’t rushing the moments.
I wasn’t mentally elsewhere.
I was there – enjoying conversations, smiles, and togetherness.
Mindfulness today showed up quietly.
In listening without interrupting.
In laughing without checking the time.
In appreciating the effort everyone made to be together.
As the day ended, gratitude settled in naturally.
Grateful for relationships that feel warm.
Grateful for the time we get to share.
Grateful for days that don’t need fixing or improving.
Day 33 reminded me that joy doesn’t need a reason – it just needs presence.

Hi, I'm Anu!
Originally from the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand (India), I now call Australia home. Moving countries wasn’t an easy journey – it came with its own set of challenges, goodbyes, and growing pains. But it also opened doors to new opportunities, friendships, and personal transformation.
This blog is my little space to reflect, express, and share stories from everyday life — whether it's about adjusting to a new culture, lessons from motherhood, reflections on family back home, or just navigating this ever-changing world as a migrant woman.
I believe growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones. And even though I miss my roots deeply, I’ve found joy in creating a new version of "home" here in Australia.
When I’m not writing, I love relaxing with a coffee, diving into a good book, or enjoying moments with family and friends. !
Thanks for stopping by – I hope you find something here that resonates with you.
Feel free to say hello or share your own story — I'd love to connect! 💛
