(X) XYST (AtoZChallenge 2019)

I have been e(x)uberant throughout the challenge. My blog was dormant for some time and AtoZ helped me channelize my revived enthusiasm by writing, reading and sharing. 

As we near the end of this challenge, e(x)haustion has taken over and I just want to relax. My labor pain may start any time soon and I am scared and e(x)cited at the same time.

Xyst (in ancient Greek and Roman architecture) means a covered portico, as a promenade 

or; (in an ancient Roman villa) means a garden walk covered with trees.

XYST

My journey overall has been pleasant like strolling on xyst, with full awareness. 

Green, lush trees that line the promenade offers shade, support, and comfort. 

It soothes me. Cool breeze brush my hair gently. 

I am very tranquil, at total peace with my serene surroundings and circumstances. 

As I approach the end of the xyst, I want to just sit under one huge tree and observe the world passively. 

I want to soak in the silence before the chirping of the bird welcomes new dawn - the dawn of delight and jubilance!

['Stroll on Xyst' is a metaphor to depict what I feel right now. Soon I will be an involved mother and I might not have the kind of time I have right now until the baby is big enough to spare me some free time 😊]

How do you unwind? Does strolling offer you tranquility? Or share any other thoughts that you might have!
