Just a few blogs old, and already struggling with a vicious writer's block. A staring match ensues with the pristine white page and I decide to jot down the random thoughts of my restless mind. Something I am looking forward to, my parents finally coming to visit us. Mingled with some worries; will the journey be too much in their fragile state of health? Some positive thinking called for here, and loads of it needed when I think of exams around the corner, with the offspring almost surgically attached to his gizmos. Much nicer to think ahead, when the holidays begin, and the next destination to be added to our itinerary. Endless possibilities, with Israel and Jordan on my bucket list. Maybe also a solo trip to Goa, which I have been pondering over for the last few days. Or perhaps with a friend going through a rough patch. A silent prayer when I think of how easily things can go wrong for people. And for all those friends in need or simply to have a good time with. Funny friends, friends to do lunch with, concerned friends who will hold my hand and some on whose shoulders I can cry at any time of the day or night. And also some weird ones, like everybody is blessed with. And of course my canine friend, who is regarding me with somewhat pleading eyes as dinner time approaches. Come to think of it, a rumbling tummy reminds me the spouse is late again. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have the roles reversed, me the corporate high-flier with a house-husband. Probably home-coming to some very suspect meals and a messed up kitchen. And whither would be my plants, my books and my music? Withering away without me, no doubt, There is something to be said about being in the very place the divine powers meant me to be in. Amen.
