Hmmm....

Its strange ya, the things that I would have thought would make me go WOW no longer hold the same appeal. Have I changed or is it true that things hold their charm only as long as they remain unattainable! That the appeal is in the chase, the hunt, the race, That when you finally reach the finish line, you are faced with 'Ok, so that wasn't so difficult, now, was it!'

I look around me, and I see certain people with a great sense of accomplishment, of achievement; they sometimes look at me like I have achieved things, but what if what people think you have achieved is not what you think is you! What if you are capable of a lot more, but somewehere along the way, you just drifted along, and now you have come so far, that you wonder what if you hadn't just drifted, but taken a turn, explored that bend in the river, God knows what might have been in store for you!
Then again, I wonder what if the bend is explored now, after all if you reached the finish line once, maybe you can reach it again.

Am reading Anne of Green Gables for the n'th time, and I hope I manage to retain her 'joie de vivre' for the rest of my life. She was faced with a bend in her road, she took that, and the path led to a glorious sense of fulfiment and peace. She got back on the highway sometime later, and drove down at 200 kmph towards another life of success and fulfilment.

Anne inspires me, I hope I get on that highway soon.

Have a good day all!
