As The Year Winds Down

Point to Ponder: “The older we get, the more clear it becomes that loving and being loved are the only really important things in life.”
Wish You and Family a Very Happy Holiday Season. ❤️🌅🌲🙏🏼

Story Line: Yesterday Once More. 2023 turned out to be the special year - Rewinding the life tape: reconnecting with friends from childhood years in India; many after 5 decades. Also spending time with people (Philippines and India) who introduced me to my penfriend and now life partner; In Singapore spending time with friends we met at Stanford in the early 80s; in Manila, staying with a person we developed close friendships during my expatriate assignment with Raytheon in Philippines (1980-1983) and many celebrations and ovepouring of love in Malaysia by former work colleagues at Intel during my two work periods ( 1984-1986 and 1997-2015). Returning home was great joy seeing our children’s family: especially grandsons; and reconnecting work colleagues and bosses from LSI Logic, Fairchild and Intel. 

Reflection: 
2023 has been nostalgic from the point of view of reconnecting with associations developed in this life’s Journey. 

There is one common theme from all these interactions: Work relationships were over a long time ago when I left those institutions but the friendships and relationships of heart that developed during those years has stayed on forever. Details of the projects we worked on are forgotten but the memories and a strong emotional bond we developed has stayed on. So here I end with a Point to Ponder: “The older we get, the more clear it becomes that loving and being loved are the only really important things in life.”
