It's been satisfying in a different way - busy-ness makes me feel useful and productive even though at times I dont like what I'm doing. Doing something is better than doing nothing I guess. And with the baby, it feels like the long-term plan of family is also falling in place. The boy himself, is a joy! So much energy - needs to be channelized and not dissipated like his Dad has done for the most part of his life! Thankfully, the direction is becoming more focussed now and the dots....seem to be connecting.
Got some breathing space now before family and work become hectic again. It's in a way, preferable to the vast expanse of free time during my one-year break. The break though, was also much needed to help put things in focus. Well, am content as of now. Busy, but content. A few steps in the direction of Inner Peace, by trying to exhaust the seeds of action - on the personal and professional front.
