It has been two weeks already since India. Everything is almost back to normal, and I'm glad to be back to normal. But every time I come back from a trip, 'normal' just seems a little stranger than normal. I notice things I don't usually notice. And more interestingly, unfamiliarities stimulate energy. Suddenly I find myself enjoying the things I usually take for granted. I get excited by mundane chores. Well, that's a bit of exaggeration, but I like this positivity. My fear is though, and the reality is, that eventually this stimulus will dry out. How can I keep this energy going. I don't want to lose it. How can I keep myself fresh all the time.
I believe there are couple essential elements for a healthy life. God, family and friends, means to make a living, rest and rejuvenation, giving back to society. Different people have different ways of looking at it, or categorizing it. But in any case, all these require times. All of these are important, and prioritizing is always easier said than done. I already find them competing with each other for my time and resources. Striking a balance is essential to serenity. I need to stay put, as I commit myself to things again after the vacation, and more importantly, as the new year comes.
