The Comeback
G'day folks! Haha... I'm very much alive and kickin' :) Yes, I know it's been eons since I posted anything worthy to be read. Five weeks ago, I confidently claimed that I'll be sharing our wonderful experience of getting married, which obviously didn't happen. So much for dedicating the month of September towards that cause... *sigh*

My absence was primarily due to getting adjusted to a new life, a new routine. It's been quite an experience thus far for both Ruby and I. Certainly an experience in a positive direction. Though we're pretty much settled-in, the days are still generously offering us new lessons in life. We see ourselves consciously reminding each other to be optimistic in all that we do. So far, with His grace, it's going more than just good.

Many have reminded us that it's only the beginning. Indeed. But this is the case with all new chapters of our life, innit? Think new school, new job, new relationship. Now, don't shoot me for making such a shallow comparison but the point is - did you make the most out of it?

This reminds me of the 90/10 principle, which I'd love to reiterate to some people who keep cautioning us on the initial rosy-6-months of living a married life. I firmly believe what lies ahead is a product of our own doing (err... with occasional and inevitable influence from external factors!).

Anywayyy... now that I'm back in business and have all the wedding photos sorted, I will be sharing our experience in small digestible bites :) This time round, I promise to make it happen!

Stay tuned...

    Hey there! Finally, an update! :p

    Well, can't agree less that what lies ahead of us, is basically a result of what we do now (Plus Blessings from HIM). You can't expect a good marriage to fall out from the sky and given to you on a gold platter. And no, there's no such thing as first 6 months are rosy etc. Nonsense! Your first 6 months can be hell too, right? It all depends on how you approach the positive as well as the negative.

    God Bless! Be happy always!

    Oh man, while I chose to sleep last nite, my darlin' burnt the midnight oil to update this...now i can't afford to say i'm too busy to update my blog, pressure...hehehe

    Hey Sereena, thanks for the comment and support rendered all along...you're so right, it is a choice...u know better, when we change our mindset & choices, things take a turn ;) u know what I mean...

    Well, as Dipster mentioned, we get that from everyone, wait for 6 months and u'll see...we have chosen to ignore this, coz it really depends.

    If we have our mind set on the right things, be a little more optimistic and do what it takes to make the marriage work and keep each other happy and content, then it will work. It's a lot of effort sometimes, but it's worth it.

    There will certainly be ups and downs, but like a wonderful friend who recently said "The rain is really necessary, coz then you will appreciate the sunshine so much more."

    Suresh, thanks man, that really does make sense now...when the rain falls, we look forward to the sunshine and forget the storm that hit us yesterday...

    Cheers!
    Ruby

    Nice to see u online again Dipster! Missed ur usual 'updates'...am looking forward to the upcoming ones!

    I just wanted to say don't worry about 'external forces'!

    The wind will always blow, it's up to you and Ruby to take shelter in each other's love, counsel and support.

    May the Waheguru's blessings always shine onto your marriage!
