Happy to be

I have been too busy living to write; living as in trying, demanding, cribbing, working, chasing, negotiating, differing, postponing and such. As this year draws to a close, thought it is time to do some counting too. Here’s an account of 2011’s blessings:

1. Daughter is growing up to be a sensible teenager; something that I have always wished for. I am blessed to be spending more time with her and we enjoy each other's company more than ever.
2. Family and friends are in tact, a year wiser and closer.
3. In the multiple hospitalizations that my mother-in-law underwent, she came home walking each time.
4. Travel, my passion, has been possible yet again. As always, loved the feeling - liberated, blissful and togetherness!
5. House lease got renewed and we continue to live in a place that we love.
6. Few pounds heavier now than at the start of the year. Any gain (in today’s world) is a happy feeling. But what makes me even happier is how I wear them proudly without complaining.
7. POIESIS is born and growing - and boy, am I glad?
8. Dad was strong, loving and healthy till his end. Blessed to be my parents’ child.
9. Strength that I gained at the end of a frighteningly rocky year – both professionally and personally.
10. I am truly inspired to live, stronger and immensely happy to “be”.

and still counting….

I am ecstatic for some of my loved ones - Pradeep, Karthik, Gita, Neha, Ramya, Krithu, Arvind and Ayushee. They have found new love and more meaning to life making "Collective Happiness Quotient" soar constantly.

Thank you God, I am grateful for life.

Wishing you a blessed 2012!
