Poohsden has been a part of my life for way too long. It has seen me as a student, a mom-to-be, an expat, a wannabe author, a mom, and now it sees me in 2020 as the mother of a 10-year old on week 4 of social distancing. The journey of Poohsden is my life.

I came back here as I figure out a way to deal with my ever changing world. There is a comfort coming here and letting the words fly off my finger tips. I dont plan my posts here. No wonder I never am a successful influencer. This is my place, where I feel safe.

I will lying if I tell I am not stressed with this COVID-19 situation. I am. I will also be lying if I tell you I am having cabin fever. I seem to be thriving (along with copious loads of stress) at home. I enjoy having my family around me, the work-from-home privilege the husband and I have, the homeschooling opportunities I have with kuttyma (who now goes by the name Mint Girl and is on Instagram).

It is a strange world out there and I am glad for the privileges and health my family enjoys. I count my blessings and focus on things I can control (for everything else there is twitter). One day at a time, is my oft-repeated mantra. I power through whining and complaining at times but overall wrap the day with a sense of gratitude.

Life’s journey is interesting. It takes us to places we never dreamt about. Like this one. I am back at Poohsden, albeit for a while willing the words to make sense and help me stay sane.

Wherever your journey takes you stay safe and healthy. And if you are still around reading, drop a line and connect with me on Twitter or Instagram. I am more active there.
