Turn around days

It's been over two years since I've written in here. And I must admit I've missed it. It's such a joy.

So if I say the day is precious...guess I have reason enough today :)

A day that made me sit up and relook at some very core level stuff. What are the values I'm living by, what narratives do I want to hold and which let go, what boundaries am I willing to push, where does my core value of growth really sit. 

And to be able to ask the question honestly....to have the space for those questions to even come in....that I believe is by  grace, and I'm ever so grateful.

I'm adding in a couple more pictures which are as abstract as these are real....as precious and as meaningful:

Like I started by saying....it's not necessary to understand it all....it's just as good to partake of beauty in whatever form, and the exuberance and joy just flows.

Happy to be back !

A precious day....a precious b'day....and a precious rebirth-day :)

 It's okay if that doesn't completely make sense (or does :)

Somedays just come into your life to fully turn them around. And this is one such, which has by some freak, no providential, chance been repeatedly doing it for me.

I've had milestone events happen on the day.....including today.

Starting with kiwi....it's beloved kiwi's birthday. The day this bundle of joy came into our lives (cause we chose that as his b'day :)

Here's some pictures. (for lack of time, i just dug up from previous posts :)

Ofcourse to start with his b'day. Home baked cake (not to miss the heart shape), and he'd get not just the first big piece but also more than half of it. 

He always wanted to do what they both did, including read....you can tell by dikshas expression how she'd been pushed aside for him to take center stage

So much bonding

and communion

an everyday welcome from school, he'd almost get confused on who to focus on first

once they settled down

Kiwi....while dhruva and diksha may or may not remember other important days from the family, your b'day is one they both just seem to wake up with on this day. And will still do the cake and deepam....a gesture to the fact that you continue to matter.
