Resilience

The past week has been a revelation.

I have never had a more myriad sense of emotions and experiences both on the personal and professional front.

Let me start off with the professional, to me the most insignificant of them all. The second package that is being sent out of my team in a new project. I had always wondered how could i get the respect of my team members, esp. the contractors who work with our team. It happened. One or two brilliant thoughts, a few clever thinking troubleshooting stunts later, i could feel the respect that they have for me. They do not revere my knowledge, but they definitely respect me as a peer. It feels good to know that i am respected for my skill, a first for me in my professional career. I look forward to honor the respect and trust they have shown in me...

On the personal front, i have had a veritable roller coaster ride of emotions, from the euphoric heights of falling in love to the depths of depression and frustration in dealing with governmental agencies, i have seen despair, fear, light, hope, friendship, and love.


In the process i have just realized how resilient i have become to changing circumstances ... a few years ago, a week with just a fraction of the experiences of my previous week \would have left me physically and mentally exhausted ... i am surprised at the speed at which i have bounced back to almost normality .... (i am still depressed about the damages to my car .... and still euphoric in every sense ! )

I feel light hearted and at the same time i feel like i have just gone through a second moulting in my life ... the new year holds so much promise for me ... i cant help but pray that all goes the way i wish it does ... !!!!

As always sleep takes its toll on the length of this post ....!!!!!h
