Turn of the Decade...

It's far more the 'done thing' to be in the turn of a century but decades arrive faster so here's how the last decade revolved for me..

• Stayed away from my folks for the 1st time and got to know independence to some extent.
• Finished my education (the ones which come with certificates that announce the conclusion of something- the actual one continues)
• Found my best friend+1.
• Worked and came to realize that education hadn't really prepared me for much. A lot of it was touch and go, touch and feel and just learn on the job types.
• Finally put down roots- in more ways than one.
• Had a kid.
• Found ambition.
• Let ambition take a back seat.
• Understood my parents. Just a bit more.
• Detested some things.
• Loved some more.
• Didn't travel much.
• Reconnected with the ones who mattered at the right time.
• Realized that some goodbyes are meant to be forever whereas others are transient at best.
• Learnt to slow down somewhat and smell and lot more than just roses.
• Let go of my caffeine dependence (YAY!!)
• Got to know myself a bit more via my child.
• Realized that some of the 7 deadly sins aren't really that deadly...just to be indulged in moderately.
• Began to dream again...about life, about me about tomorrow.
