Next Act

Last week I used the word for the first time against my occupation when filling A’s school’s application form: “SAHM”. That is what I will be starting Apr 1^st, yes on the popular Fool’s Day.

That is what many people thought I was when I announced my decision, so it is apt that I start this phase on this day. But my heart has never felt this “foooller” with happiness.

Apart from getting to spend a lot of good times at home the icing on the cake is going to be a 3 month vacation in India to start off with.

Hopefully this will also mean more posts on this blog. But for now my thoughts are……

The last line: The last scene of this act.

I hope I did well, there is applause.

I hope I left a special mark doing my part,

I hope I lived up to the cause.

At the beginning of the next act,

I hope that I do well that I applaud.

I hope this part will leave a special mark in my heart.

I hope I live up to my cause.
