Nothingness!

 Another year gone by!

When I started looking back at the year, I went in my rabbit hole of how I had accomplished nothing.

This year, I let my work, professional license go, the one I went to college for ;
so I was really gone to the bottom of my rabbit hole of nothingness.
I started scrolling through this year's pictures and then stumbled upon a memory of my first born and I from the summer and it came back to me.
I had accomplished a lot this year.

I had moved 3 children from their dorm rooms from 3 different locations back home.

I  then moved 3 children from home into their dorm rooms by myself in two different states, one requiring almost 12 hours of driving one way.
I was on the road a lot, I moved mountains, I climbed mountains, (metaphoric and literal ).
Not only did I read more books  this year than last year but I also read different genres of books, books suggested by friends, the ones I probably wouldn't have read on my own;
I checked a few items off my bucket list, I crossed off items which weren't even on the list..... Small victories.
I had accomplished a lot out of nothingness.
I just needed to look at it differently.
As we welcome another year, it's giving us another opportunity to work on ourselves, keep going, one foot in front of another.
Work in progress, easier said than done but can be done.
Namaste my friends and thank you for being here.
My new Year's resolution is to be kind to myself and allow grace. What's yours???

My self care journey - Oxygen mask.

  “ In the event of a sudden drop in pressure, an oxygen mask will drop from above. Secure your own mask first before assisting others. ” The first time I heard this, I was flying for the first time in my life on an international flight from Mumbai to Atlanta via London. I was so excited to go to America on my own that I did not really pay that much attention to this routine preflight announcement. Since I had flown to America, it also meant flying back, again, several times to go home. I heard the same announcement during all those trips but at that point, they were still some words, their true meaning still had not registered.  Then came another first time of my life, this time it was flying with my first born, for the first time.  By this time, I was not as excited about flying, the novelty had completely worn off. Now I am only concerned about the safety of my baby, he is sitting in my lap, one year old. Then they make the above preflight announcement, in sever...

Journey as a mom driver.

Several years ago, when my parents were visiting, I took them to church for Easter Sunday mass. It was the first time I had driven since becoming a mother… for the second time around. This time, I had “twins.” They were less than two months old. I hadn’t driven in several months. I thought I could use the break from taking care of them. The church was not too far, I would be gone for at the most an hour and a half. Little did I know that it would be a defining moment in my journey as a mother. While at church, I just could not focus, they were at home with their father, they were safe, but that was the first time I had left them at home and gone somewhere. We ended up leaving before the final hymn. I was in a hurry to get home, only a few minutes from home. Sleep-deprived and anxious, I ran a red light. That split-second decision cost me more than I can explain. By the time a police officer got there  and approached the car, I had had a complete meltdown, bawling at the s...

My Little Patch of Happiness.

As I sit here and look out my window, I see my little patch of happiness . The gladioli in my little patch of garden are blooming once again. They are my pride, my joy, and my happiness. As I admire their colorful blooms , I can't help but reflect on our journey together. There is an interesting story behind these flowers. I planted these gladioli bulbs during the pandemic, in 2020. In the beginning, it seemed as though everyone around me had discovered a new hobby. People were baking bread, gardening, knitting, painting, and learning new skills. I, however, wasn't particularly interested in any of those things. To be honest, I don't have much of a green thumb. In the past, I had planted a few things, only to watch them slowly wither away. So, this time, I wasn't expecting much. I found these bulbs on sale at a local home and garden store and decided to plant them as an experiment, almost as a challenge to myself. I planted them in mid-April and then completely forgot a...
