Wondering what to do...

Lately I've been struggling to find things to occupy myself. Only the other day a friend called from Sri Lanka and asked me what I'm up to these days! I said "nothing". Plainly it may sound, I'm out of work. Last month up till my dear daughter Hazelle's birthday I've been busy with planning her very first birthday party. The food menu, cooking arrangements, her dress and so on. Last but not the least her very first birthday cake. I loved planning her birthday cake, the trials I did with cakes and icing and fondant... I really enjoyed the thrill of accomplishing something so sweet to eat!! Well, my planning did its job and the cake came out well. I got lot of compliments and everybody liked it! And then after a week, my husband wanted a birthday cake done for his Professor. That was easy as I had practise now. It took me almost three days to finish Hazelle's birthday cake amidst all attention and care given to her while working and with the help of my husband. But now in one day I can finish a cake! So keith's order was done in a half a day!

Now i'm bored. Apart of my daily housework I read. But thats all. It doesn't keep my mind occupied. My love for doing new things has opened up lot of doors for me but I'm kind of standing in one place wondering what to do...

Luck

The other day one of my school mates has posted a comment on my Facebook page saying that I am lucky. Yes according to her thoughts I'm lucky because I lead a very content life with my husband and my darling daughter.

I did my studies well in school. Even though I had a little number of friends, I never had any enemies. I got selected to University of Kelaniya to pursue my degree in Computer Science, a new department they had started under Physical Science. At the same time I got selected to Peoples Bank, one of the state banks in Sri Lanka. I was Just out of school and I didn't have the best impression of University of Kelaniya at that time! I took up the job and left my destine in University behind.

The job satisfied me for somewhat the worries that created in abandoning my studies, but the satisfaction turned to be a memorable start for my life. I met my husband in Peoples Bank and the start of my relationship with him kept any of those regrets at bay.

May be I was Lucky but I prefer to say I don't believe in luck myself. Self confidence and courage to face life's obstacles are the key to success in life. I believe in myself. I'm not successful in my life yet. I have a lot more to gain. Still I know that I got the world's best husband and the most cutest little bundle of joy in the world. Yes I am somewhat lucky than others.
