The New Indian Bride

The New Indian Bride is a year older today!  It is happy birthday to me and I intend to love each and every moment of it.  The last year was a time of immense change. I got married, changed jobs and bought a house.  My whole equilibrium for what made me a good me shifted and it took the bulk of the last birth year to find my balance again.  It took time to find my groove and realize I am a good wife (even though I don’t cook and hire someone to clean), a good homemaker, a good daughter-in-law, a good sister-in-law to My Leading Man’s five sisters, good at my new career and still a good daughter to my mom, a good big sis to my younger siblings and a good friend.  It was a lot of change, a lot of adjustment and a lot of STRESS!  So as I sit here sipping my morning coffee thinking about the year ahead, I wish most that I settle into all the changes my life has recently brought my way.  That I find a way to keep being the person I was before marriage, embrace the woman I have become since marriage and create a life that is uniquely me.  That’s what I will be wishing as I blow out my birthday candles tonight.  I might be wishing for fabulous designer digs from My Leading Man too but mostly I will be wishing for the other stuff
