Life is full of all kinds of news. We must navigate through times, both good and bad and somehow make it on the other side. I don't know how many times I have reminded myself with "This too shall pass".. it always does.
Early this year my husband lost his job due to a big buy out of his company. His department was shut down and you get the picture.
The change happened just before we went to India and Thailand. The trips were planned well in advance and we thought a little vacation doesn't hurt anyone. And it didn't!
We had a great time and after coming back I got right into my teaching trips. Numerous workshops and lectures kept me busy all throughout this year. My husband on the other hand had busy months filled with searching for a new job. Our primary goal was to find a job right here in the bay area, where we feel very much at home and hope to be for rest of our lives. The idea of another move just didn't sound appealing. We have done this "move thing" few times and I rather not even think about it.
In May, our younger son, Shail graduated from Berkeley with his graduate degree and found a job right here in San Francisco and my daughter, Kavita graduated from Emerson college and started working in Boston. In August as you all know, our first-born got married in August and life couldn't be any perfect.
Sometimes even the best of the things can be over shadowed by that one, only negative thing in life but those good things in life work as fuel to help us carry on.
Here are some good news! After months of searching, my husband has a new job. A job that is just right, in fact it started out with a trip overseas. That only means there will be some traveling in future for him and may be for me?
Well... let's talk about my travels later.
At the same time Kavita has a new job..where you ask?
Right here in San Francisco! She arrived just a couple of days ago.
Life is now perfect!
Not so fast!
My husband's job is in San Diego! Eight hours away from home.
Yes, we are on the move again.
So, after all these years of me wishing for my family to be on the same coast, We managed to reach that goal.
I am not sure what's in hold for us but for now, I am preparing for my upcoming cruise to the Caribbean with World of Quilt Travels. I am excited to meet everyone and teach on my first ever quilting cruise.
My husband is moving to San Diego soon and I will join him in few months after few of my travel plans including my Handmade India tour with Amy Butler.
Yes, it is true. Life gives with all its mighty, good and bad, we must accept. You never know what it could turn into.
For now, everyone in the family is employed and these two started their new job on the same day!
Life is Good!
