Well, as the clock ticks 12
tonight, I’ll turn 40 (and my daughter 11!!) and will get into the new rush
hour of life!! It feels great and the anxiety is building up. Hopefully I’ll survive
and get over it J
I’ve read that this is a juncture
where one’s career and child rearing collides and undoubtedly, I’m also witness
to the same; recently shifted to a new job, planning to get into a new home,
trying to get our daughter into a new school and so on and so forth. Life is jam-packed
with lot of “new” and definitely this new age syndrome as well J
Life so far has been pretty good –
definitely not everything went as per the plan, but still managed a lot of 'AHA' moments. I had a good childhood with good grades and lot of sports and
music in my life. I did lot of mischief and I repent quite a few thinking of
them now. We as a family traveled a lot and saw lot of new places and
cultures. Owing to father’s transferable job, I never had one set of close
friends till I landed at college and then rest is history. First job was great
and then married to a lovely lady and blessed with a fantastic energetic
daughter. As part of the job, got multiple chances to travel out of country and
made friends across the globe.
All this while, I definitely have
wasted hours where I could have learnt new stuff. I would have loved to play
more and travel more. One thing which always hovers in mind and want to pursue
big time is reading books – but so far very limited.
At this transition period, I wish
to focus more on the below key aspects of life -
- Taking better care of myself and my family
- Strengthen the friendship
- Appreciate things more - Worry less and Be Happy more
- Forgive all
- Play and read more
I’ve always believed in the
gesture of attitude of gratitude and to surround myself with happy people. I’ll
continue to do so in the next leg of my journey J
Happy 40th!!!
