Relationships - keeping it alive

Today as im sitting down to write this blog, i thought of penning down something on life and so here it goes :

This world we are living in,is pretty strange and harsh to some of us esp in terms of relationships, be it friendships, family or courtship - all have to surpass mountains of patience, endurance, faithfulness & temptations ! But, the bright side is , if suceed in keeping the relationship during the lean phase, it just means the relationship is the one and just meant to be ! Cheers to that!

Recently I met up with a friend 'T' after 13 years, We went to high school together, were consecutive lab partners in all science subjects for 3 years straight and then after school we just lost in touch! So, it was really great to catch up this old friend after such a long time and indeed she has morphed into this classy, elegant home maker who has developed an interest to simple modernity incorporated into her home interiors and carried out as an extension to her living.

At 25, She is a proud mum of 1.5 year old baby boy 'A' who seems to be running around handling balls, play guns and table tennis bats. A gorgeous smiles erupts on the lil one's face as soon as you pass on a ball. We sat down to have a chat reliving old school memories and sharing experiences , tastes and differences.
It did feel nice to go down memory lane and made me wonder how easily we can erase a relationship by writing off contacts maintaining 'the i'm busy - no time to keep in touch' principle ?

The incident also made me think over how i met my pal-turned husband? 'B' & I went to college together but we also got to be acquainatnces in the third year of college. After years of getting to know each other, when he professed love, although we knew our frequencies matched , we just decided to wait and see whether, 'we'were 'the one' for each other. Patience & Love - Strong Stuff ( Never underestimate either one of them).I would be lying if i say God didnt have any role to play. He is the best matchmaker and led us to take our vows early this year.I can't help thanking God for 'The One'in my life!

Relationships can be made and broken by man! When you embark on one,it leaves us the decision either to nurture and care for it or strain and uncared. Our life on earth is numbered, so as long as we're here, lets try our bit to make a lil bit of heaven on earth :)


Today,give a stranger one of your smiles.It might be the only sunshine he sees all day - P.S I Love You
