Counting my blessings......

Take some happiness, add a little sadness, mix it with a dash of relief and a pinch of disappointment and top it with a big dollop of thankfulness, with a few drops of tears............. and the result is what I am feeling as I write this.
 
Today was my last day in my organization. A day which I had long been looking forward to. But when the day finally came, it turned out to be totally different than what I had expected. And my colleagues cum friends ensured that I am over whelmed with emotions before I leave. While some of them made me laugh till I dropped, some of them said some kind words that would remain with me forever. While my brain was saying "it was just a six month stint", my heart was going "I would miss all this". And my heart won hands down.

All I am trying to do now is take mental pictures of all the wonderful people I met during my stint, remember the wonderful moments I had with them, close my eyes and say a small prayer for each of them, wishing them all the happiness and success and love. I would remember each one of them with some special memory. I wish I had Albus Dumbledor's Pensive where I could have saved all the memories and looked at them on will. But my thoughtful team took care of this, and made me an amazing scrapbook. It would be my own Pensive.

In the end, the real earnings are the people you bond with, the smiles you share, the friendships you make, the lives you touch and the way you are remembered............. In that sense I have earned a lot today.......
