Yep, you got it right! I was in a zoo. Not just any zoo but the head quarters of Wildlife Conservation Society or in layman's term Bronx Zoo! But why? Oh! That will have to wait; as I am not at liberty to share it right now.
Let's call it an "appointment". I would even go further and say it was a divine appointment! It was just like a dream. I mean I had the whole day to myself! The plan was to go in to office soon after; but since it took so long to get through I had to take the day off.
Now at leisure, gave company to a lone rhino, shopped for some souvenirs for kids and decided to grab a bite. Only then I noticed this flock of flamingos (about 2 dozens) and two large graceful white swans outside the glass wall!
Immediately I felt the day was specially made for me! Just for me! Just the right temperature. Just the right setting. It was out of this world - at least my world!
I was shocked and surprised at the same time, with this unspeakable joy bubbling inside me, making me smile and somersault all over. It was absolutely breath taking everywhere I turned!
Just sat there, taking it all in! Only regret was I didn't have a camera handy to take and share some pictures with you all. Blackberry had died on me and so I was really lost in the wild!
Wasn't it all I had asked for?! It was all granted! Just like that! Can you believe it? I still can't...
Even as I wrote the post last night, I had no clue what was in store for me in less than 24 hours since then. Had I known, I wouldn't have written that gloomy post after all, you see. But then in a way I am glad I did as it helps to see my state of mind then vs. now. It helps me enjoy & appreciate this hand picked day all for me!
Thank you for all your well wishes and encouraging comments. I know I can turn to you all anytime...

It is easy to say,"I told you so". And I desist from the temptation to say so.
That's great!
The zoo is always nice for the soul. The last zoo I visited was the one in Tokyo in 2008. All the animals looked so healthy. I saw polar bears for the first time!
Love the zoo! I like the way the animals don't seem to care about the people gawking at them.
Meanwhile, you seem to have a special mission that's waiting to be unraveled to us... :)
Nice to know H .My kids love to go to the Zoo so we do end up going there frequently .
Have a beautiful weekend :)
Nice. I really wish you did have the camera in hand. i can imagine the wonderful pics that would have come out of it. :) When HE knows that you need one, HE always sends across a day just for you. :)
