Blessings

While on the topic of Birthdays, I should also count my blessings. My family is one of my most important blessings that God has granted me.Recently, I saw this movie," satham podathey" and it affected me a lot. So many of us go through life hoping and looking for some thing to turn in their lives to make it better.Kids go through school hoping they become successful.Men dream of more wealth, parents think of a comfortable old age, girls dream of Prince Charming.Most often , people achieve a part of their goals and accept their situation and move on.But what happens to people who are unable to realise their dreams?
Girls about to marry are so full of dreams and hopes of a beautiful life .But what if their dreams are shattered. I am not talking about not going to work or an interfering in-law or lack of privacy- shattering. I am talking about an violent or physically abusive husband .The one person link to another family. The only one you know while stepping into another family , your love , your life. If he is not what you thought he was- how would you live?Again, I am not talking about personalities or ideas clashing, but if everything about your man was all wrong.
It made me think about my "man". Sure we have had our share of fights(which marriage doesn't have one)but I was always loved and made to feel special.But it also bought to the fore how risky marriages are: we are not always sure of how people live outside of civil society, in their own homes.Of the violence in some homes.Of the deceit,of their greed , of their ugly inner selves.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY FAMILY AND I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING
