Cherishing 30 years of my life!

 It's my birthday and I am turning 30 today, a huge milestone as everybody says. I really don't like drawing attention to my birthday but since turning 30 feel like a big deal. As I flip through the pages of life and throw a glance at last decade. My 20's were not what I thought they would be yeah ,but they were full of experiences that shaped me and forced me to grow up.

I completed my bachelor's degree at the age of 22 and immediately applied for my master's degree. Fortunately I got an opportunity to start my teaching career at the age of 24.

We can make plans, but the God's purpose will prevail.

After few days of my joining an Institute, I lost my sister in an accident and I felt more alone than ever. That was the toughest year of my life. May be God have had better plans for her (just to convince myself) because when life is hard God's plan don't seem good. This pain is ongoing and will last a lifetime.... Sometimes all the good memories comfort me and make me smile. But other times grief comes in waves . Well she is endless to talk about! So after her I was just floating with the flow of life.

Coincidentally, someone came into my life like a rainbow after an ugly storm. And that someone was my husband. He changed my life into a wonderful journey. He is the best thing to have ever happened to me. We got engaged when I was 25. We spent almost a year to get to know each other in a better way and got married. Three years later we were blessed with a baby boy and he filled our days with endless wonder. He is the reason and meaning of my life.

I am thank you for everything, I have now more than ever. What a nostalgic feeling! to look back to all the chapters of life which are already written and feel blessed.

I have always been a simple human. Usually,I don't easily influenced by the world, by the people. I don't follow trends. Until and unless my heart permits. I never had developed a relationship with beer or any alcohol .When I tell people I don't drink, I see them stiffen, look at with skepticism as though I am denying my birth right or weaseling out of a contract .I had never been to late night parties .I never had any unwanted relationships . May be I am outdated? I have never been money minded .Little things make me happy and enjoy life more. Perhaps I'm not ambitious? Personally I'm not a huge fan of running. So I am not running to reach anywhere in life. Neither chasing dreams as I am living it up! I want to live every single moment of this beautiful journey. So I chase whatever makes me happy .I chase for happiness because I believe you create your own happiness. It doesn't just fall in your lap. I chase after the times spent in solitude to learn about myself, because I believe something peace can be refreshing and remind you of what really matters in life. I chase for Sunshine may be its psychological but I don't like rainy days neither winters .I feel life is dull and a bright sunny day changes my mood drastically, I feel energetic, I feel lively.

I have a Mindset, which believe I have freewill, which means I have power to make the ultimate decision how I perceive every moment and every event in my life. I think Mindset is, and always be the key to everything. If you truly understand this then nothing in your life can impact you in a way that you don't want it to be. I think the reason I don't feel the need to shake things up as ,I am comfortable in my own skin.

Well I'm sort of excited to just see what life throws my way this year. My goal for next upcoming years is to simply love myself more. As I can see a shift in me from an innocent girl to a strong woman. I can see a shift in my confidence, my writing ,my voice ,my purpose and my passion. I can see a shift from my "aramse morning tea" to preparing breakfast early and feed my son .Most importantly I see a woman who knows without a shadow of a doubt what she wants out of her life. A woman who has learnt the importance of patience ,humility ,kindness, an open heart, love, and joy of simplicity.

Tonight when the clock strikes 12AM ,I will be toasting to an amazing 30years and look forward at the future. As a mom, as a wife I have had to define very clearly what makes me the best I can be for them and sharing the years ahead with you here .Thank you for being a part of my world.
