reflect

When I reflect on last year…
- I loved India & look forward to returning one day.
- I enjoyed graduating & receiving my post-grad diploma. I look forward to studying again.
- It took me the whole year to come to terms with my outrageous sales targets. I have learnt to take responsibility for my own targets.
- The family dynamics are changing. I need to continuing encouraging those I love, while living my own life as those around me flourish & grow.
- I only get 1 chance at this life & I want to make sure I really live it!

it seems like I reflect every day many times throughout the day. I used to let myself get busy and go for weeks without reflecting, but it led to depression, and then it would take a megalith of reflection just to claw my way out of the pit of despair (sounds pretty miserable! It was!). Walking in the park (there is one near my house) is one of my best methods of reflection.

Still find now that if I don’t get enough alone time for a week, I can begin to feel it—the pit starts to loom.

43things is a good place for reflecting out “loud”.

marks one year since i stumbled upon 43things…

this morning i thought to myself, the last year would have been quite tough if it weren’t for my 43er friends. so many things in my life had changed. with all of the changes i couldn’t always depend on my real life friends, either because they weren’t physically there or because they didn’t understand some of the things that were happening in my life.

i am humbly thankful to all of you for your kind words, hugs, advice, laughter and general being-there-ness.

much love,

I want to stop and reflect about how lucky I am, how beautiful life is, how blessed I am to be surrounded by people that love and are loved.
