Getting back to writing is really tough. Thinking of writing a blogpost and then editing it, finding the right picture and then posting it. It feels way more tedious than it actually is. And I have been opening my laptop so many times, opened Word, thought of writing something, stared at the blank screen and then shut it down. This had been my routine for the past few months. Getting back isn’t easy but it sure is rewarding. It's therapeutic as well and I realize this as I am typing this sentence. When I look back at the month that has gone by, all I want to think about are all the great things that came my way. And so I thought why not make a list of it?! Let’s see what I’ve got:
1. Number one to top the list would be the way my baby started laughing at small triggers. Just a small naughty expression and she is all gaga over it. The constant giggling and laughter is nothing but honey to my ears.
2. Friendships Day. There wasn’t any celebration per se but an outing with your friends with a good food and eventful day is enough to be worthy of it.
3. Clicking cutest of pictures of my baby!
4. I left the baby home for the first time and went for an event. I made a few connections and met new people. What I took from that event was lots of confidence and self-realization. Also, I never thought the baby would be able to stay without me for 8 long hours and yet she did! Which also gives the green signal to get back to work asap.
5. Signing up for an option which might give a new direction to my life. I am super-duper excited to learn this new thing and I hope it falls in place. Touchwood.
6. Conversation with my best friend for an hour or two… just like old days.
7. Having my best friend by my side who takes all the possible efforts to ensure I’m fine.
8. Snapchat videos with my baby.
9. Materializing the casual discussion into an actual plan with my cousins. Traveling with my Girl tribe will be nothing but full of surprises. Well, this makes me realize, the randomness of discussion is directly proportional to its materialization. So peeps, chuck all the planning and take your random thoughts a tad too serious… you never where you might land up.
10. Donated to #KeralaFloods and promoted for it on Social Media. It’s always important to do your bit.
11. Got Rakhi gifts for my siblings and received wonderful gifts too in return.
12. Made space for a plant in my room.
13. De-cluttered to some extent.
14. Had the fruit from the plant whose seed I planted 3 years ago. It was bliss.
15. Started with the class I signed up for and it is going good so far.
16. Met this new person and I am being really positive after the meeting. Keeping my fingers crossed. For once, I am thinking about myself before doing anything.
17. Finished reading the book I started long back.
18. Offered support to my sister and gave wings to her logic and somehow brought the whole family on the same page. *If only I could muster this much courage for myself* (rolling eyes).
19. Ordering those touch and feel books for my baby. The new additions in her collection were the puppet and finger books. The joy on her face was precious.
20. It was my baby's first Rakhi and the day went well. We went for bowling and games and it was wonderful. I think we should do it more often!
At the end of the month I feel nothing but positive… and hopeful for a better tomorrow. Do you guys feel the same way? This was my way of getting back to writing and see some light that I was continuously escaping from, from a long time.
Cheers
