One more morning gone by

Today morning the kiddo was in full josh! He had a very authoritative stance and his limited verbal capability was in full use to confirm the authority. He was calling out to everyone very loudly (with his aaaa, ooooo and other gibberish). Felt like he was demanding that everyone talk only to him and not amongst each other. :-) Felt extra sad to leave him and come to work. Sigh. Keep reminding myself that it is my decision and that I shouldn't complain. So I won't!

Hope everyone's morning was as joyful as mine! If not, then make a note to yourself that you will be joyful, no matter what!

Ok, enough gyan for the day. Now go, do something totally stupid! Like how I collided head-on to the glass door in my office yesterday!! Yeah, totally like a saint-gobain glass ad!

Its a first!!

The kiddo had his first juice drinking session today. It was like a major event, with both grandparents and mommy, your's truly that is, involved right from the inception till the end!

Oh the joy of squeezing the sweet lime, measuring the quantity so that I can add the exact amount of water to it. Mixing a little sugar into it and hoping and praying that the kid takes a liking to it. :-) We used a filler to give him the juice. Initially, he was a little unsure about what was being put into his mouth. He then started sucking the filler with vigor and I must think he enjoyed drinking it. We just gave him half of the concoction and hope that it doesn't affect his digestive system very much.

Ah, the joys of watching a baby's first milestones. The day he smiled for the first time, the day he rolled over, and the day he crawled! Yeah, he did start crawling from yesterday! I must say, its the cutest thing I have ever seen!

As I was rejoicing a thought stuck me. Its amazing how we celebrate and enjoy a baby's first actions/milestones. What happens to that enthusiasm when adults start something new for the first time. Why isn't it given that much of an importance? We encourage the kid when he does something new, hug him, kiss him, show our appreciation. Am sure that makes the kid happy and motivates him to continue. Shouldn't the same be applied to adults as well? A word of appreciation goes a long way! I make a mental note to start appreciating people more often now, will you??

Rain and its effects

Random thoughts in the past half hr

Wishing badly that it rains as the heat increases and to see that the wish is indeed fulfilled the same evening!

Watching the rain from inside the house through the window for the first time in years! The view from the window is now good even at home too.

Thank you God Almighty! Life's small joys are indeed the best.

Getting nostalgic and thinking about the past, the what-could-have-been-present, the thankful-for-the-present-as-it-is, the worrying-what-the-future-holds.

Sigh! Why can't I just sit back and enjoy the rain for now and worry about everything later.
