This is my first blog.

For someone whose been writing since she could hold a pen, it is surprising that now at the ripe old age of 37 should begin a blog. There is so much to write…a million words to say. Where do I begin?

I hate talking about myself, one reason why I started so late. Today I will. I love reading and writing. Both these things require very little patience and carry me away quickly to another world. I read about everything  under the sun. I write poetry and short stories…never published. I love good food and thoroughly enjoy eating. Sufism and spirituality are my favorite subjects for study and I’ve been reading about them for quite sometime now. I also love languages and can speak, read and write 5 languages and am working on learning the sixth one. Dance is one passion I’ve never explored and I hope someday I will.

I cannot cook for the same reason I mentioned above…no patience. I am working on this it and finding newer recipes to keep my family happy. Three growing sons keep me on my toes and I absolutely love and adore them. Each day I am grateful for the joy they bring to me. There are more reasons to be grateful for…a wonderful life partner and a sense of belonging to a community that brings me both peace and contentment. Yet a human I am and there are those little complaints that flare up from time to time and I address them with either frustration or calm. So I get irritated, sad, unhappy, and then again when the wave has passed I get happy and peaceful. I am trying to iron out these emotional crests and troughs…but seems pretty difficult. I live on with all the blessings I have.
