Hi I didn't get the Thursday and Friday bits here below.. ?? Anyway, trying...
Monday:
(1) My being in good health and all near and dear ones so too
(2) My having had the dearest darling of a granny who brought me up when parents pursued jobs and who till today, blind at at 86 is waiting for me to visit.
(3) My having a relentless ambition that lets me get up at least one more time than the number of times I fall.
Tuesday:
My grandest memory takes me back to the age of 17. AT 9.15 am, on a winter morning in 2002, when i carried my school flag as a 17 year old, leading a group of 1000 girls, as Head Girl, taking the oath at investiture, leading the march past and looking up into the blue sky, knowing my parents are there in the crowd of parents, holding the flag up so high, and thinking I couldn't ever be prouder.
Wednesday:
Future? I see myself looking into a future where I write. write and write. RAE? Publication files? No, just write, from my heart, for my subject, and discover new unanswered questions every time I feel I have answered my intellectual concerns.
To just write, write and write..
Sorry if I got this wrong Lara, at 1 am, but am feeling a little bit better than the last two days, and the last couple of hours. (I have been most unlike myself, not my usual forward-going, sometimes bossy and demanding self, but a weepy and slightly demotivated person).
PS: Just got these new signature quotes:
"If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”.. Henry Longfellow
"“It always seems impossible until its done.”.. Nelson Mandela
