Thanks

This is a long overdue post. Has been in the draft stage from before Thanksgiving. In my attempt to be more organized starting from the new year, here is the thanks post(Of course, I have to make sure that I thank everyone who might be reading my rather wordy posts:))
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks - a word I don't say often enough. Here is an attempt to redeem myself to the people who I value a lot, but tend to take for granted (in no particular order)
- My husband, who has encouraged me, and put up with all my idiosyncracies (That in itself deserves a separate post, or maybe another blog :)
- My parents, who just seem to be at the receiving end of my mood tantrums. I owe them my life. I wouldn't have been anything today without them, the sacrifices they made, and the values that they have instilled in me.
- My sisters, who have stood by me, tolerated my rants, scolds etc.
- My parents-in-law. They do realize my true intentions, sometimes wrapped in my incommunicative self.
- My friends, who have put up with my uncommunicative avatar, rather communicative-in-bursts self. I am surprised by the number of friends I still have, inspite of my bursts of introspection. Glad that I have friends who understand me.
- Of course, not to forget my sons. Though, they are not at the receiving end as much as others, as they are at the top of my priority list ALWAYS... May this continue, and may I not lose this focus.
- My boss, co-workers
- My college mates/group-mates.
- My relatives.

So, in short, I am thankful to most people I associate with. I have been lucky that I have been blessed with a wonderful set of people. I am guilty of not acting on what's in my mind/heart. Thinking good deeds is not enough, if you don't put them into action. My main crime is in the communication field - bottling up things/waiting for the right opportunity. Main takeaway - there is no time like now.
