It is always amazing how such chance meetings can lead to friendship, shared wisdom and happy times. I am glad my words resonated with you - and perhaps you will now find the rewards you deserve on your chosen path:-) Wishing you too all happiness, joy and laughter - and see you again at the gym soon. Dear Ash,

Thank you for this marvellous post. If I could explain to you how much I needed this you will not believe me. It has been a very tough year and I have used every means at my disposal to get back up onto my feet. I have come to realise there are just some things a person is not meant to do and other paths one is meant to take. If you take the right path not for money, self gain or the inflation of ones ego, then, believe me, your actions are rewarded in many other ways. I can really see it now, and every day. Thank You! I wish you happiness, joy and laughter every day. Dear Arvind,

Yes we have known each other now for almost 20 years - and so much has happened in that time:-) Yoy have certainly come a long way - and you have achieved so much to blow your trumpet about! I have always known you as someone who tries to get a lot cramped into each day and I guess that has not changed despite your new status of wife and mother. But just remember always that you ARE enough. Do enough or nothing each day and it doesn't really matter:-) Hello Manisha!

Great suggestion to be clear about your intention behind what you say. Look out for my new website design soon:-) Tania, I thought coming from down under (New Zealand), you would be less shy about blowing your own trumpet!

I think one way of not coming across as bragging about ourselves is being clear about our intention behind saying what we do... looking forward to your next post!

And to think I've known you now for 20 years. How far we have come! This post was perfect for me today. Since the beginning of this year, I've been thinking about "where have the Sundays gone?" and I wrote a blog post about it in January. With a constantly changing schedule and many unknowns, it felt like it was hard to pin down time when enough was enough and I could take a break. So, this past weekend, I decided to make Tuesdays my day off (for the time being so long as it makes sense from an overall perspective)...and your comment above re: "YOU ARE ENOUGH" is perfect and defines what this day means for me. Of course, there are things I want to do and will do today, but whatever I do will be enough. I am enough right at this moment. So at the day's end I can feel good instead of feeling like I didn't get x, y, or z done. Just to give ourselves that kind of space is so important. All of your points above are good ones, but that one in particular resonated with me today. Well said, Arvind. And to think I’ve known you now for 20 years. How far we have come!

Before blowing your own trumpet, getting grounded is the key thing - and possibly the hardest thing we can do. All the best to you too on your journey.
