It’s been a while I have penned down something. But, scribbling anything would not do justice. Hope everyone’s staying safe in these times. We have been through a lot. But, we have hope and faith that one day the situations or circumstances will change. The hope and faith have a greater impact than we think.
What compelled me to write now, is that this period has taught me lessons I would have never understood so closely. In my married life, we have had good moments, better moments (best moments are yet to come, I always believe that) and not-so-good moments. We always look for what we do not have. We rarely appreciate the things that we have: family, friends, emotional attachments with loved ones, good food, fresh air or a shelter.
I just celebrated my birthday not so long ago. Every year we celebrate this day by taking the long weekend (Memorial day) and head out to a place where we can spend time away from work. This year was going to be no different but, the pandemic forced us to change the plans. Rather than cursing it, we shrugged off and planned a surprise together. My wife bought some supplies from a local supermarket (maintaining social distancing) and we prepared a no-bake mango cheesecake on the eve of my birthday.
The point is not that we made a no-bake mango cheesecake but, it’s about appreciating the moments that come our way and enjoying them to the fullest. These are the moments that will define our lives and might be nominated as the better ones or the good ones.
Let us all appreciate what we have rather than complain about what we do not have. Remember, no one gets more than he’she deserves or, less than they deserve.
P.S. : The best moments are always yet to come.
