A good weekend

It was Sunday, Oct 11th 2009. It was quite hot when we (Myself, my dear hubby , Jeff my Co-worker and his Wife Ann marie) went to watch Andre Agassi play in Surprise AZ. Yep, You heard it right, ANDRE AGASSI was here. It was all the oldie goldie players and the event was organised by the Cancer Treatment for Centers of America(CTCA). Looks like the Prize money for the champion was about $150,000. Agassi lost the championship to Todd Martin. Agassi was not sure how much the prize money was but he donated everything to CTCA. A very generous act.

My Husband is a huge fan of Agassi and we both love Tennis.Its our dream to be a part of all the 4 Tennis grand slam finals. I am sure we will do it some day.But for now, our priorities are totally different.

For some reason I have been quite happy and very postive for the past couple of days.WHY? I dont know....I had a blood work last week and the results came out to be perfectly normal. I was very worried about the whole thing. Anyways, Its a good start and I want to keep going. I am a strong beleiver of mind. Mind is a very powerful thing. Its as powerful as you want it to be.

Its almost been 3 months that a tragedy struck our lives. Its true that life moves on and with time all moments, happy or sad, fades away. Isnt it? I still remember when I joined my Engineering college, I was very happy but I dont feel it anymore. Its faded. The day I got married to Deepak. I was very happy and I still am, but that particular day of all the excitement and fun and happiness, its all faded with time. As we make new memories, the old ones take a back seat I guess. But, thats still fine, for better or worse I am so glad my hubby is with me. Just makes me feel that I can face anything with him by my side.

One thing that I have learnt from the  horrific experience I had is to appreciate the things I have. My friends, My husband, health, enough money to make ends meet. I still have a long list of things I really need,and I am sure to have them in future, or atleast I hope so.

Looks like I am going off the topic,but for a moment, I was thinking about the cancer patients of CTCA. Death is a fact, infact, thats the only thing which is certain in life and we still lead our lives as if it's gonna pass us and we will be OKAY,but,we all know for sure it will strike us all one day.
