Return

Its 12 am as i pick my pen to write on this blog for the first time this year. It feels good to be back. "life is an adventure" I have heard it many times.  At the end of last year I took a break. I watched helplessly as death took a piece of me...that's when life becomes unfair. There was sadness...that a pen would not write over. So a sudden demise of a close relative changes your perspective.I went through all the motions of grieving: from shock,denial, anger and finally acceptance. If there is one thing we shouldn't loose is hope. I know i will see her again cause death has been conquered. During this period I have learned that life is a gift. Treasure each moment. Take a risk in life and one of my favorite quotes sums it all "To triumph without risk is to triumph without glory". During a vacation somewhere near the Kenyan-Somali boarder along a coastal shore; that point was hammered home by an adventurist. I was offered a free kite surf and I declined...why? I don't know how to swim. I was given a puzzled look and the guy went on to explain how everything he does is out of taking a chance. He has traveled world over, knows nine languages and he freaking enjoys life...his words. i was like cool...but then he looked me in the eye and said RISK IT. We all have dreams and goals and for me there is plenty of that. Taking a leap of faith is all we need. I have the most awesome friends and they made that vacation memorable and it went a long way in giving strength to my fingers. The year started out in style and its been great so far. I have a breathing muse ...eerr correction....breathtaking muse. Not only that, but a star. Yea you heard me. Risking is starting to pay off. There is a story in the making. To my ardent readers...he's back and I'll keep you posted.
