This one goes out to commemorate the day I resumed writing after an inexplicable sabbatical of a period so long that I am not at all proud to admit. It was a strange concoction of a sudden rush of emotions and months of pent up feelings that led to the restoration of something that best defines me. I had created this blog, if I may say so, in the year 2009 because I had felt the need to express myself. The only way I thought I could do it best was by writing. Quite unfortunately I failed to honour my appointments with this blog and did not write a meaningful word for three full years until this day exactly an year ago.
I drew my inspiration from my pets - Leo and Snow. My comeback posts were dedicated to my babies. It did not take me long to realise what I had given up for so long. It is true that most of times we do not realise the true worth of something until it is not with us anymore. Unknowingly, I had been stifling my thoughts and impeding the reach of my mind. For the first time I told my parents and sister about this hobby of mine. They were pleasantly surprised, I was glad to note. The icing on the cake was the appreciation that came from my father. I have no words to express what I felt when he said he was proud of me. As it happens, when the heart is full your eyes overflow. So did mine.
Eventually, I shed my inhibitions and began to share my work. I received encouragement from those who read what I wrote. I thank each and every reader for strengthening my passion, and the will to go on. If not for you I would not be able to claim to have been an active blogger for an year now. The blog is only a means though, it is the ability of penning down thoughts that is the cause of my jubilation. I may actually never be able to thank my readers enough, but I hope they get the gist of my sentiments. Technically, now is the time for new year wishes here; I don't follow convention, do what my heart says because that's how I like it!
Cheers to the joy of writing!
