The
last month of the year December has come to a close – breaking forth into a new
dawn of another bright, brand New Year 2020!
So
much to be grateful for not only for this month, that gave opportunity to
travel – giving me and our family a short needed break to be by ourselves, get
in touch with our lives and with faith spend some quiet time in the church and
at the sea – enjoying what life has been offering us and paying homage to the
almighty.
This
month always remains my favorite, not only because it’s Christmas my favorite
festival, but also because my birthday that falls in the end of the month. The
month got a bit stressful due to the upcoming wedding of my nephew Sam also my
God son – lot of planning and preparation as the wedding is scheduled for 8th
January, 2020.
I
am glad for a lot of good things for this year, but also sad that a lot of
people who were with us in the beginning of the year are no longer with us in
our journey in life. I am grateful for so much of progress on both personal and
professional front- for all the experiences, for the Learnings and for the good
health of mind and body, the ability to give, share and spend money is all part
of the blessings of life.
I
am glad we did take breaks at Mumbai, Khandala and attended wedding at Chennai
and at the end of the year we spent a couple of days at the Velankanni shrine, and silently praying …. Glad was
able to keep to my gratitude posts for this whole of 2019.
Here’s some flashback of 2019 J
