Rewinding my life.
As I look back, most important years of my life has been past. 2024 is ending soon and 10 years has been lived like a sailor sailing by the wind. 10 years is not a short period and yet I see the list of my unfulfilled wish can go on to make a mountain. From having a tattoo to starting a small business, from embroidering a saree to having art-work corner of my own, none have been achieved yet. But all attempts have been done to make a tick on each list. If only I could have been strong enough on my thoughts and persistent in my action, today I might been little more happier as I write this post. I am a positive person and I know there is no good time then starting now. So writing this post itself Is one step towards it.
Last, few months been an eye opener for me. Science have been found a way to make an artificial human with all the organs functioning as is, but they have not yet found a way to add life to it. Holding that very life in my arms, thanking the gods creation each time I see her. The first 2 months after the delivery, the traditional postpartum procedures followed on me, made me to be more thankful and pay gratitude for the granted things in my life. Never realised the importance of the natures five elements until then. The Earth , Water, Fire, Air , Space. Each days goes by being thankful for each cell in my body working just fine and keeping me healthy. Physical pain is not my cup of tea and don’t want to spend a second on a hospital bed. I am thankful for the food which nurishes my body. Thankful of the Sun/fire which provides energy to all being. Being aware of my surrounding specially nature is the new change in me. The bird, the bug, the mud, the leaf, the web, the stalk everything seem like a fascinating thing than before. Does my child do feel the same about the things around her?
Having a “me time” only when the baby is sleeping makes me feel the importance of each minute and there is no time in mourning over my unfulfilled wish-list. Giving importance to oneself and being disciplined is the way forward in my life. Last day I read a thought which said that “There is no stronger person than the one who knows that none will come to help them to reach their goals”. I resonate with it very well. Hoping the coming days will be a fulfilling one when looked back!
