Scattered thought on this Hump day for you all

https://youtu.be/PbTY_m5yZ0w: Tribute song chosen for my post today.

What makes me feel like a kid and want to tell my story to U all daily? Since I will retire soon I thought about it a lot on my morning walk in this very cold day. I thought that I am lucky and it is a privilege that I was able to do few things which I wanted to do (having a college education in spite of having three children and married at age 18, working in medical field which I wished to do and help people, able to buy stuff which I need, having children who are self-motivated to do well at school). Of course that goes without saying that I have a husband and fy who has accepted me as I am! I often celebrated each phase of my life and be present in it than mourn something that is passed or don’t have. “Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. I have a simple philosophy: Fill what’s empty if you can. Empty what’s full, U don’t want. Scratch where it itches. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way she or he handles these three things: a rainy and windy day, lost luggage at the airport and tangled Christmas tree lights. Enjoy the hump day and the song I chose for U all today.

My thought on our Local Election Day

It’s Election Day. The 2020 races are dominating headlines, but it’s important to vote today in local and state elections. This morning my husband reminded me that our voting booth has changed and I must go to the correct place. I thought how much he cares to let me know small thing like this, which is important to me. Many of my friends here often asked me how we deal with our arranged marriage and how it works. I don’t have any specific answer for them since all most everybody did that in my time at India. I tell them that we care for each other and learn to convert our care into love with time. While walking I thought it is true that he does care for me and our family a lot like many people. That is the glue to our long marriage and my willingness to stay married to him when I come back to this earth again since I believe in recantation as per my Hindu religious belief. So for me caring and respecting the person is an important element in marriage than having any other material.
