Tug of war with my mind

During these first few days of marriage, I have again been reminded as I have been on various occasions in the past that it is all in the M-I-N-D. My mind runs away from the present (for no apparent reason!) and takes me along on the roller coaster ride although I have told it a million times that I will not step into 6 Flags for a reason. All the myriad thoughts, worries, apprehensions for the immediate future, past karma... yada yada.... If only we could control the mind... now that sounds like one of the many Baba's/God men and women that populate our country talking. Instead of controlling the mind... what if I could channel it somewhere else? Like may be nuclear physics or astronomy? I could discover a new galaxy and name it after ME! :D. Now, Hubby Dearest actually can put things aside, away from his mind and not worry about things that are not relevant to the present and I soooo adore that about him! How in the world do you do that honey?!!

Officially a "Pondati"

I have changed status from Miss to Mrs. as of 18-March-2013, a change that has been eagerly awaited for a long time in the family. They all tell me that I have taken a long long time to make this decision, but what do I tell them? Being who I am, what I have seen and felt over years along this journey called life; I needed to find someone who I could share all the scenery with... someone who would appreciate the wanderlust in me, sees thru my eyes yet makes his own conclusions, hears what I say yet comprehends differently, feels what I feel and comfortable shares with me... lets me fly and still makes me want to come home...

When I finally found this person... I was 3rd time lucky. It took about a year and a half to know him, understand him, play tug with him and finally commit to him.

Saying so.... Dearest Hubby... looking forward to the rest of the journey with you!!   

A new time... a new phase

Once upon a time in a land far far away... there lived a princess who was the "apple" of her parents eyes. When she came of an age, the King and Queen of the land invited a number of princes to a ball so she could choose her prince. She did... and the rest as they say is a fairy tale...

Mine is starting in 2 weeks time :)

Why do I have to put it out there?

As part of my very first post I wanted to take a look inside my head and find out why I have this compelling need to take my thoughts out of a private book and put it out here on the web for the world to see and this is what I came up with:
A. So my head doesn't burst open for lack of ventilation
B. To reassure myself I am not the only one who feels the way I feel (comments will help here!!)
C. So I feel like there are witnesses to my conscience

Ever since I have known me, work has had the #1 place in my list of priorities and recently a trip back home made me rethink this list and the possibility of having it all backwards!! Working in a corporate world since I have started working 6 years ago, has made me consciously/unconsciously shove all humanly feelings to one side of my brain where I wouldn't have to open them up and look at them on a regular basis.

Now I want to see them everyday, make sure I look at them and still justify doing what I continue to do... question what I am doing and look ahead to see what I can do...
