Ruminations

Tis the end of another week!!! but these past five days were very interesting. Mulling about it today - I realized that there was an inherent pattern where past, present and future were juxtaposed simultaneously in few aspects.

First there were interesting discussions on couple of blogs - about past relationships, past mistakes, past ghosts and at the same time there were issues that dealt with what you seek in the future in terms of relationships. It helps in certain ways to heal oneself - get feedbacks - and look with a smile that future is not all that bleak.....(to all those fellow bloggers - thank you) .

Secondly met a friend - discussed the past and future course of actions

Last - I had vowed will not talk about work on this blog - could feel like an ego trip or get boring - but have to take this one instance.
This happened yesterday - in the morning I visited an early 1800 barn and a stable - in Coltsneck NJ. This is a project where we are going to add modern kitchen and living spaces. Also will be restoring parts of the interiors. The trick is to respect the past and be sensitive when adding to it. I have attached few pics below. The house from outside is not very interesting - but interiors are impeccable and maintained very well. The site is 4 + acres - and the owners love horses.





Now to the main reason for this post - during the day I was involved with restoring and loving the past - a history that one likes . I was studying this building - imbibing it.



And then in the evening along with probably most of America I was watching the debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton - one of them possible future Presidents - to help forget the horrific tenure of George Bush.

Isnt it ironic that life puts forth many scenarios, sometimes none for years and sometimes many in a matter of a week. One has to be always aware of these nuances not get sluggish - or else you dont know when such an opportunity might come again.
