It's taken me a while to finally venture into blog land. I think I've just been craving a safe space to write, for a long time now - ultimately for myself. Maybe one day I might scrounge up enough courage to share it with others. But right now it's just for me...
It's nearly midnight on a Sunday night. I'm 32, a new mom of a child with special needs, a wife of an amazingly compassionate and respectul human being - how I was gifted such a man to share my life with, I don't know. After staying at home full-time for exactly one year to be with Manav, our little 19 month old monkey, I started a new job last week. I have the utmost respect for working families - it's hard to believe that I belong to a community of rushing, scheduled, spread thin people trying desparately hard to balance it all.
Through this process, I might go back and reflect on the past here and there, but for now I'm just going to start with the present - today.
The house is a mess because we're leaving for Nepal on Friday for 5 weeks - the longest I've been there. I'm not so worried about myself. Many of the fears I've had from previous trips to Nepal have disappeared but new fears are popping up - mainly about Manav. I hope he'll be ok...I hope he won't get sick...I hope others won't treat him different because he's not walking yet.
It's late and I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow - Sundays just aren't the same anymore. So until tomorrow....
