7th January 1966 - 2015

7th January 2015 brings to my life yet another birthday. I think birthdays come faster than they used to come before.

The length of the journey was calculated last year..

48 years + 12 extra days of 12 leap years 57 months

13140 + 4392 = 17532 Days

17532 x 24 = 420768 hours

420768 x 60 = 25246080 minutes

25246080 x 60 =1514764800 seconds

Now, plus 1 year, 12 months, 365 days, etc....

I was born on a full moon day on 7^th January 1966 and since then the full moon appeared 607 times.

From last year till now, the journey was good. I am grateful to each moment of 2014. It taught me the way down to Earth, leaving the tough upward journey in life’s ladder. My priorities stopped changing according to my needs; rather it changes according to the situations where others need me.

I’m so happy to pass through each year as I believe that best is yet to be. Life is not the number of years we breathe. Life is something that even death cannot take away from us. Life never dies.

The more I live, the more I wonder and the less I speak! All I understand is that everything is beyond my comprehension and best is to be present in each moment, wondering about the marvel of Creation.

The more I live I come to know that everything is predestined and predesigned and the best is to live through life, touching each precious moments in gratitude.

I am sure that the best thing to happen need not be something that makes you laugh. May be, the best moment was when I stopped someone cry.

The best gift wasn’t something very expensive that I got, but probably the love that flowed through me when someone needed it.

And the more I live, the more I pray for Grace and Strength that comes from God.

I stopped preaching my religion, but started practicing it.

I stopped reacting to injustice, started to practice justice.

I stopped expecting from others, started to share with the needy.

I stopped worrying, started to practice faith.

I stopped crying, started to treat me with a smile.

All these changes wouldn’t have been possible without God and God sent people. Thanks to people who I have known since my birth, stayed in my life since years, came to my life in 2014, not to forget the people who left me along the journey. I thank you all, as your coming or going made me grow into what I am now.

Most of all, I learnt that each day is my chance to return love to the people who love us and a chance to make up for the hurt and pain that I’ve caused to others. The best thought that I had this year is, ‘Many people have helped us to strengthen our wings so that we can fly to new heights. But the same strength has to be used to reach back to them in gratitude, to take a detour and come back home and to our dear ones. If our feathers are designed with the magic of love, they will surely help us fly back home, where we started.’

The journey of another 365 days starts here. With a heart full of thanks I bow before my parents who taught me life as a journey from Heaven to Earth and then from Earth to Heaven...I learnt almost everything from them, also from my brother, my husband, my kids, my friends...

And all my learning comes to one single point called Love: a Love that lives for others, a love that makes sacrifices, a love that gives others life.

Thanks to all who were and are and will be in my life. If God wills, I will continue this journal on January 7, 2016!!
