The journey called life with ebbs and flows

The last one month was eye opening. I was an observer:
1. seeing how I react to things, 2. seeing how others react to things, and
3. seeing how their reactions had an impact on me.

It’s fascinating! How some things upset me and how some things bring pure joy.

I’m amazed by the one. I’m amazed by the environment that I grew in and I am amazed by everything around me.

When I wrote about focusing on the open space and not thinking about hitting the trees, it was the best analogy that helped me to stay grounded every time something would disturb me.

On my flight to India, I didn’t watch TV or any movies and I enjoyed the relaxation on 4d visual scenery — starscape, northern lights, cherry blossoms. Pure bliss.

There was some serenity and peace that I needed to relax myself and rest on my long 30+ hour trip.

And when I reached home, I still had energy and wasn’t exhausted as I usually would, and that was a surprise. I stepped in to help as much as I can, and be fully present for the first time in my life while I was home in Calicut.

Some of my highlights and cherished memories are spending time with mom and dad and sister. This one month was a blessing.
