A true blessing....

Every day... we wake up....eat breakfast, work, come home eat dinner and sleep... but in between all the things that consume our lives, how often do we take time out to look around us, in our lives and count the blessings we have in our life? Personally, I take more time out to complain about everything that is missing from my life and don't really find reason to appreciate what life has presented to me....

Last night when Sibi was working (yes working)...and I was flipping through channels trying to find something that would catch my attention, I stopped on Discovery Health as they were showing a girl who suffered from Treacher Collins and at the age of 3.5 yrs had gone through over 20 surgeries.... and looking at her and her parents, I realized that as I sat there on my bed watching TV, I was blessed and how I had failed to appreciate EACH and every single day that i had been given as a blessing....

How can we be so blinded with all the materialistic worldly possesions that we dont see that we are immensly blessed, given so many things in our lives, our family that we should be spending everyday thanking God for everything that we have and if we were to list each one of them then we might not have time do anything else...

I guess my ranting leads to one thing - every now and then we are faced with situations that make us realize how blessed we are in our life to have everything we do... so lets try and take just moments in our lives to appreciate that .... and maybe use what we have to put a smile on another person's face....

Next Please...

So I have to start by saying that my beautiful and awesome cousin Sajani has inspired me to blog... always thougth of blogging... and have to say... been very lazy to start....(like i usually am with a lot of things)

Well here goes something....let me know what you think!!!

So as life goes on.... we come across so many people... and I have always believed that each person is put in your life for a purpose, for years, months, days, or moments....we are all supposed to take these individuals and learn something from them, it might only come to us years and years after they have left our lives but we often look back and realize the impact they have made in our lives.

Recently I started thinking of my past relationships, and by that I mean friendships, romantic and blood. Every person who has come in my life has always taught me more than what I could have forseen when I first met them. I hope that all the people that I have been in contact with have been able to use my life experience to further themselves - may it be through my success or failures....

Lastly, I have realized that the people who truly care about you in life, people who are supposed to be in your life, keep coming back in one form or another... you might not talk to them for years but when you finally do, its life not a day has passed since they have made an impact in your living... Life is a funny thing, you believe that it takes its own course, but many times every decisions we make, every thought we have infact paves our way as we live....

look for a lot more mindless jabber in coming weeks!
