A few day's ago, Raffy, a friend from Milan, greeted me a Happy Birthday through SMS. Two things made me smile right away. First, it has been quite a while since I have heard from him, so it was a kind of a pleasant surprise. Then, it was not my birthday at all, so it was a sort of a scary, funny surprise. Hehe.
Until tonight, I still am smiling like the Tuscan sun because since I got that unexpected greeting, everything has been coming up "sunflowers", like gifts in the form of small, quotidian miracles. It actually made me count my blessings no matter how cliche that may sound. And like they say, whatever the Tuscan sun touches gets that film-like luster and looks golden, and smiles become brighter, and laughter crunchier. Every little thing seems illuminated. Even memories of my Loppiano experience, I can still feel the warmth of each detail. I wish I could sit one day and tell them all in one sitting. For now, here's a piece of that. (Smiles under the Tuscan sun, that is. Plus a photo of my "real" birthday party in Loppiano two years ago.)
