My first musings...

After months of procrastination in starting a blog I finally did it. Made the jump, took the leap, hopped onto the free ride. This blog was supposed to be a July baby (just like me!) but alas the thoughts decided to marinate in the womb of my mind for a few more months before I got the final push from a friend who suggested "hey why don't you start a blog too." So I finally did; after some thoughtful labor emerged my baby blog. It's new, its innocent, its fresh. It's still got a long journey ahead of it- it will be filled with laughter and sorrow, randomness and specifics, nothing and everything.
I wanted to start the blog this July because it was another new beginning in my life ...I was moving into a new city, a new job, new people. Leaving behind the familiar comfort of places and people whom i had grown with in the past few years. Suddenly this July I found myself all alone and the blog was supposed to be a way for me to pen down the barrage of thoughts that were going through my head every minute of the day. Alas it didn't happen then and maybe that's a good thing. Because I'm in a happier place now, than I was back in July. It would have made all my writings sound ranty and bitter and depressingly philosophical.
I made an exciting new beginning in July and all was going well except in my confused head and heart. I didn't fully enjoy everything coming my way becuase I was too self absorbed in my self created misery, wrapped up in my delicate emotional bubble. Things are better now- not 'purrfect', not resolved, the cycles come and go but you take it as it comes and tell yourself to smile till that silly face just takes over and you're strumming your fingers on an air guitar and humming a tune as you race through the bustle of Grand Central to make your local.
I'm content after a good home cooked meal (where I almost set the kitchen on fire ) and I smile... la di da la di da...here's to another manic Monday. Achoooooooo!
