This last week in Delhi was really good for my soul. I enjoyed most every part of it to the max and I thank the Lord for being so good to me. One instance will probably summarize how refreshing it was for me to be there. I was walking alone in the evening near a park which I loved when I used to live in Noida. It was great to be out alone and that too, in the evening. As I walked I saw a boy of about 8 or 9 years old standing with his mother and I started thinking how it would be like to be married and to have a kid and to see that kid grown up- just like that kid I was watching. And then it hit me- geez- I AM married, I also have a kid and before I know it, he's gonna be all grown up. For a second I had forgotten that I was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister- I was just Arpa with nobody attached to me and it was good to reflect on the person that I am without all the parts that make me the woman I am today.
I am thankful for the chance to have breaks- to take some time out of regular life, to see another world, Seeing all that, I am thankful for my life as well in Unnao. I liked being in Noida and I miss being there terribly but I know that it's truly a blessing being where God has planted me for the moment.
Though that doesn't mean I'm not lookin' forward to my next break.
