~ Reflections ~

Nature has its ways of blessing us... With long waits followed by bountiful.. So was the wait worth it... most definitely... Did I wonder what life had in store... absolutely... But now, in retrospect.. It couldn't have been better... The long wait of almost 4 years, the bittersweet trials... I can confidently say now, that it is all worth it ! Life always has a grand plan...  Often the grand plan that plays out might not be your grand plan, but grand it is. So now, one year later, I thank the universe and every iota that is responsible for making it happen. Because life in full bloom really makes it all worthwhile ! "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough " ~ Meister Eckhart

Progeny has a funny impact on how we look at things... The urge to see a piece of you in flesh and blood is so strong. that we seem to loose all sense of perspective till we do it :) We wish and pray for a creation, who is like us :) Ironically, the similarity we often seek is in the form of the 'adorable' smile, the eating habits, intelligence,  body language.. the list could go on... But what truly matter is what kind of person the child is, the nature, attitude, demeanor... and the key to this is more the environment and upbringing than the gene pool. Don't get me wrong, the gene pool is a good trendsetter, but it is not 'the' reason for someone turning out a certain way. So when we all seek for a part of us in someone else, we need to remember what matter.. I mean what truly counts !
