Early morning thoughts

Last weekend I watched the movie 'Marley and me’. It was a sweet movie about a family and their life with their Labrador named Marley. Bought back lots of memories. We always had dogs in the family (and I didn’t mean relatives :)) .As a kid they were my best friends. The best thing about them is that they love you unconditionally with out expecting anything in return. The worst thing is that we always end up out living them. People who never had pets probably won't understand this but when you lose a dog, it’s as if one of your own family member died.

Recently, I went through some instances in life which made me realize that maybe I am not that well equipped to face bad situations. Especially the ones where people who are really close to you turn their backs on you for selfish reasons. I never wish ill for anyone. But when someone who is close to you leaves you out in the cold, you get hurt beyond words. Maybe I am not as tough as I thought I was. Or maybe I have mellowed down with age :) .I am blessed with supporting parents who stick with me during good and bad times. And like my dad says,'You don't learn to walk without falling down’. There is a lot to learn from it all.
