Grateful for blessings

Howard, the Lyft driver loved my smile, asked me why I am not a model yet. We discussed God, religion, marriage, kids and Indians. He praised me so much I was blushing for 20 minutes. He asked me if I was married and when I told him A left me, he told me that he must be an idiot. Upon finding out that I am a writer and working with cancer, he was really blown away. It was a great ego boost to drive with him! He ended the ride by praying for me. God works in mysterious ways. Amen!

I went on to help another man with his luggage, and he said god would bless me. Hallelujah!

The pursuit of purpose.

Are we alone in the universe? Is there a greater intelligence than ours? Do we have a purpose? Why do we exist?

No, I am not married nor in a committed relationship. No, I am not sexually active nor am I thinking of adoption. Today I am 26 years old and am wondering : am I ready to be a mother? I am thinking about this because there is a right time for everything and today is the right time to wonder about this particular phase of my life. Let me tell you a little more about myself. I am an engineer with a master's degree in control theory and am currently enrolled in a doctoral program. Being a student at this age is not fun. My friends have moved on in their lives and are successful in their jobs, are aspiring home-owners and parents. My family has just moved on and has stopped worrying about me, since I am a grown up. Financial independence means earning enough to cover rent and living in perpetual credit card debt. Add to that the onus of repaying student loans. My long distance relationship ended when my boyfriend did not long for me anymore and became distant. Times two. Getting a PhD ...
