Greed and Gratitude

Yesterday was a very special day. Really special indeed. I might have down played this a little but it is such a significant milestone for us!

S's efforts finally paid off - he has been offered a job which he would love to do :)

The news took a while & a bit of sharing to sink in. It was not until I heard the relief in my in laws and parent's voices that I realised the gravity of it. 

I had been a bit short sighted yesterday to think S is not coming to me, but stupid me. I can go to S!

It may be bye to UK but it is hello to bigger better things in life. I have faith. (Yes, I did suddenly realise that they have offices in America :D) Heartfelt gratitude to the Superpower! 

In every sense - I think we need to keep up our imagination (dreams) with reality :) Touchwood!!

Left Out

It is a terrible feeling. I don't know I am doing this to myself or others are doing it to me. But lately I have been feeling very left out.

There are pros and cons of living apart from family. Initially I used to feel special, more wanted, more exclusive being the only child living away from my parents. But now I feel they have moved on, they have learnt to live without me and sadly - I am merely a phone call they have to attend to.

I hate it. Absolutely hate it. Both the feeling, and the realisation that this isn't far from truth.
