The 'F's of my life

Family - My FAMILY....my parents, my sister, my husband, my children and the many other family members in my life....Family....most of whom we do not have a say in choosing....Family....people who are destined to be in our lives....I am blessed to have a family that loves me and whom I love.

Friends - The people whom I met through the different phases of my life....school, college, work, my husband's friends, my son's friends' parents.....and whom I chose to have stay on in my life but more importantly who chose to let me stay on in theirs. To me, my FRIENDS are like a rainbow in the sky. Just like a rainbow is of different colors, my friends are of different kinds and my relationship with each of them is unique...but just like a rainbow does, all my friends too fill my heart with joy and happiness.

Feelings - Sometimes, I feel happy....sometimes, I feel sad. At times, I feel cranky, upset, annoyed, bored or angry and at other times, I feel curious, sympathetic, impulsive, optimistic, loving, sensitive, understanding, amazed, lucky, peaceful, passionate, loved, anxious and all these FEELINGS make me....ME.

Fears - I have some petty FEARS....which I am almost embarrassed to list....fear of cockroaches, rats, dogs....Then I had a fear which took me a long time to conquer...fear of driving a car. But the biggest fear in my life .....possibly also the biggest fear in everyone's life would be the fear of losing the ones I love.

Facebook - The 'F's of my life would be so incomplete if I did not mention the social networking site FACEBOOK. It has brought me back in touch with so many long lost friends and it has helped me make so many new friends.

Fifty - Just for today, just for this blog post, FIFTY is an important F in my life....This post....which I timed so that it would be the 'F's of my life is my 50th blog post. Four months ago, at the insistence of a friend (you know who you are), when I started this blog I had no idea what I would be writing about. But, I have surprised myself by writing on 50 topics. And to the 2 very important Fs of my life...my family and my friends who take the time to read my blog and who tell me to keep writing....a heartfelt thanks. It is your encouragement that has kept me going.

Signing off feeling 'Fantastic', 'Fabulous' and 'Full of life' and this quote by 'Franklin D. Roosevelt'

'One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment....If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.'
