FEMS ... 6 YEARS ON






E called attention to this blog some days ago. She suggested we revive FEMSTUFF so here I am making the first move… I urge you all to continue writing. Why? For no worthier reason than this – that we leave behind a written legacy for our friends and loved ones to remember us by.

It has been more than 6 years since the last entry. Where do I start? What should I write about? Surely in the past 6 years we have gone through different episodes and experiences, some life-changing, others, mundane. Several ideas flashed through my mind but how to put into words? I read with renewed interests several old postings-hoping to draw inspiration, perhaps? Instead, memories washed over me and several times I was taken back to way back then… 

Over dinner one evening, I shared a post written in 2008 with Abby– and wondered why I didn’t showed it to her earlier? Then it struck me, probably didn’t have a smartphone then! (To side-track, whatsapp was invented only in 2009!) She laughed when she saw the photo in the posting but after she read the article, said she was touched. This is what I mean, one of our musings could very well touch someone without us realizing it.

I would love to have written something longer but was tied up with work for days after I promised to revive this blog. Hope that this short contribution will lead to more from E, S and perhaps, even M!

I am truly glad that 6 years on, FEMS are still connected! May we stay FEMS4LIFE.
