Here I'm after a pretty long gap,and I have a beautiful reason to be here today,I normally ( like most of us) come to pen my thoughts and feelings. I need inspiration,motivation,feel Depressed or Happy to be here,these deep emotions inspire me and bring out the best in Me and I respond to those deep feelings and my fingers fly over the keyboard,words burst across and I feel I'm making a point and being myself. In the end its "Satisfaction"~~~~
My husband is away in LA on work.I'm here home with my 2 beautiful girls.I have the time at hand, it can get crazily busy at times.Yet,I take the time to stop and smell the coffee.I'm right now in this sphere of life where I have begun to question my existence. Do I make a difference being around ? Does it matter to anyone if I'm here or gone ? How can I cherish even the shortest ( mostly insignificant ) time spent ? How can I be happy and break a Smile at that stranger ? How can I be of help to anybody/ somebody ? How do I teach my children to appreciate and value what they have ? How do I teach them to be content ? How do I teach them to be HAPPY ? ~~~~
"David", its the most common of the names,but every time I hear this name I burst Laughing or a Wide Smile sweeps across my face and I feel bright and happy.David is the most funniest man I have ever come across. He has the ability to make even a deaf man "Smile". He is those happy go lucky guys,one of a kind.He has this beautiful soul,he can uplift you make you smile in the most sincere and unexpected way. It is hard to ignore such a vibrant, funny character.So, this blog is dedicated to " David" for always bringing that smile on my face ~~~~
Way back,almost a decade ago,I had some things which needed fixing in the bathroom, I called for the maintenance and there was David at my door.This was our first introduction, this Big,Tall, Heavy, Skinhead standing with a wide smile at my door.Although his smile was/is so contagious, he kinda spooked me a little,I got a little nervous seeing him,but then,what needs to be done needs to be done.I tried to hide my nervousness and went along. He went into the bathroom looking for the problem zone,it was the faucet in the sink.He began his job with expertize and showing of his skills all the time staring at Me and shaking his head. There I was standing, he looked up and said.." You Indians are Weird " I was not sure,Do I open my mouth and yell at him or just maintain my peace and hear him out. I was not sure,so I stayed quiet,moreover I was also nervous seeing this Big Strong guy. Then what he said totally took me by surprise...he pointed at some part of the faucet and said..." that's the Male and this is the Female ".Well, I wont go into details to explain what he meant, cause it was the most inappropriate of the things to say to anybody,especially if you are meeting for the first time. That, was it, David was now someone to be feared,I walked away into the living room,called my husband and was on the phone talking to him.This was done, cause my imagination took me to all those scary thoughts of this man might do to me,here I was talking to my husband in the hope that David would do his job and get lost.~~~~
Then to now its been such a long journey and David is no longer someone to be afraid of. He is such a kind hearted,funny, softie. Knowing him all these years has opened my eyes,made me question so many scenarios and I have seen things differently. Firstly, looks are deceptive. He may look scary to some,with his strong,huge,tall structure.Ones you get to know him,you'll see a Gem of a Human.May be he is not one of those white collared guys. But, he is more Human than many of those, so called well mannered, well educated men, I have known. Surprisingly, he is so intuitional... I was going through a bad phase, a dry life spell, I had stopped going down and stayed indoors mostly. I'm sure,many around me didn't even miss me or realize what was wrong,or may be they did see something was wrong,and decided to ignore it and let me take my own time to heal.During one of those times,when all I wanted was some soothing words to uplift me, some silly joke to make me laugh or some thing said,which would bring a smile...it was David who saw...I was avoiding people and would go to the gym when nobody was around. One day, on the way to the gym,I ran into David...and he said..."Hey, Maria ( name given to me by David ) You have a Beautiful smile, show off those dimples more, You are one person, who is beautiful inside and outside"...I was so moved by his words,he wasn't trying to charm me, Its just David being David. !! Making a difference in your life and uplifting your mood,making you feel wonderful,bringing back that smile !! No body noticed my sadness,not even my husband ?? or did everyone around me notice,but did nothing ?? ~~~~
Another scenario, we had a loud neighbor,who lived alone. There's nothing much to talk about him.He is one of those neighbors,who everyone would stay away from and ignore.He was nothing but trouble. I was being stalked by this guy. It went so far,that one day he was at my door asking me for the "Main keys". I told my husband,and he put his hands up and asked me to talk to the manager. I went up to the office and complained about this,to the manager.She said,she could do nothing about it and asked me to call 911 if this guy was harassing me or stalking me. Very shortly after this incident, I saw this man moving all his stuff out and he was no more living in the neighborhood.It was only later,we heard that David had taken " care" of the matter, his way. I have no clue what David did or say to this guy,But, it was David,who came to the rescue.~~~~
David, You may be loud,You may talk vulgar, You may just be a ordinary maintenance guy,You may not be highly educated, But, to Me, You are such a Gem of a Person. You are someone I can totally trust. You are amazing at what ever you do. Most importantly, You have ALWAYS made me Smile !!!
Thank You David
