World falls gently

What a great day, an absolutely perfect day to end a wonderful weekend, to banish all the negative thoughts whilst I was ill. It doesn't come as a surprise but it still mystifies me how one person has the ability to change my mood, my mindset, my days and nights; by doing nothing more than spending time together and doing ordinary things that every other couple does. 

So we ended up at Salford Quays today, what a great place. I've never thought of it as a place to go and spend time because I've never visited properly before. We went one evening in February to The Lowry to see Ray Lamontagne and of the little I saw that night it looked kind of cool. I guess it was always in the back of the mind to check it out one day, it's somewhere different if nothing else; so today we indulged. 

There's something I find quite magical about it all; the mixture of a big city being so close to water, I would so love to live near water. I guess it's some kind of magnetism or something, the human body being made up mostly of water, means humans are naturally attracted to it. It's just such a calming and relaxing experience, to stand or sit and watch and listen to the water. That's what we did for the most part, walked along the Quays, stood or sat for a while, talked and just let the day flow over us. How the tall glass fronted apartment buildings seem to grow out of the water, watching the clouds roll over the sun and the sky, feeling the sharp breeze blow any lingering cobwebs away - it was all so very enchanting. I could go crazy in attempting to explain why such simple things in life are the very best experiences, that leave such a lasting impression, but I can't. I guess I just love the pureness and innocence of such days; of finding a quiet spot for a kiss and a cuddle, of holding hands, of breathing the air, of witnessing all that is beautiful within the world. I also told my boyfriend about the poem I had written for him whilst we there, it seemed the perfect place to own up to it.

We're going back one night in the summer to check it out, it seems like a great place to go for a few drinks whilst watching the sunset and the city light up and come alive around us, that will be so cool. 

I just so love Sundays, they are the very best days to spend time doing things that bring you joy with those people that bring you joy. To forget about everything in life that's unimportant and remembering only those that bring happiness. To open your heart and soul and let the world fall gently around you........
