January 2nd 2016 will always be one of the most special days in my life. And so will January 3rd, 2016. On January 2nd, in one of the most beautiful ceremonies (honestly) I got married to one of the most wonderful persons I've come to know and on January 3rd, we had a celebration that was overwhelming in terms of the amount of love we felt and experienced from close friends and family. In so many ways she rescued me and healed me. She has a unique wonderful intelligence that isn't about logic or strategy or math but instead stems from an amazing depth of genuine love, nurturing, warmth, beauty and empathy.
We are truly blessed and lucky to have found one another and to have so many wonderful, loving, nurturing close friends. We are blessed to have such amazing families (that make us smile with love and warmth when we even think of them). The list of things we have to be thankful for is long and overwhelming. In fact, through this period, if there's one emotion that we've been overcome with other than love, it is gratitude. I'm not sure what we did to deserve to be so fortunate, but we are. And when one has been so lucky, it's difficult to ignore the desire to share... and to give back. To spread happiness. To make the world a better place.
But making a difference isn't easy. It's infectious but to create an institution or movement that genuinely isn't just vanity is not going to be easy. Sheerly to even keep the desire alive amidst the day-to-day continuum of career, life, socialising isn't sustainable. Everything is finite.The need to give back in a meaningful manner burns within. We have to have found each other for a larger purpose.
It's 7:19 am on the clock. It's been a couple of hours since I've been awake. I woke up obsessing about some work stuff and had to 're-orient' my thoughts to the important things in life.
The wife beckons. It's time to slink back into bed and hold her and let her know she is cherished.
I'm lucky. Seriously lucky. You should meet her. Even you'll agree.
