Nowruz 1390

I clean the glass table in the middle of the room. Spread out a tablecloth which is made with golden ribbon over the table. Then I look for those small brown-red plates which my Mom has been given around 30 years ago because of my birthday. I was given them last time when I was at home. I go to the kitchen to find them in the cabinet. Now I should find senjed, somagh, sir, sekkeh, serkeh and sonbolo sabzeh. I have prepared all of them last week. I put seven S in my lovely plates and set the table with them, one by one. I also bring few colorful eggs and add to the seven sin table, though the eggs have nothing to do with S letter but I like to have them on the table. They remind me of my childhood. I think to myself whatelse my seven S table still needs? I turn my head around and suddenly my eyes stair at your photo on the shelf books... Yes I have to find the best place for your photo. Your photo goes and sits beside my favorite flowers on the table. I try to take the best shot of the table then email the photo to those people who smile when they see it.

Now you, my love and me are waiting and counting the minutes to turn the new day...

Nowruz bar hame Mobarak, Happy Nowruz!
