My Dear Friends,

While the prompt asks for “objects,” I find it hard to separate the physical from the deeply personal connections I have with certain things in my life.

So, I’ll take a slightly different approach and share the three pillars that hold up my world: my mobile, my daily writing journal, and most importantly, my wife.

1. My Mobile: A Window to the Digital World

In today’s digital age, my mobile phone is more than just a device, it’s a window to the world. It connects me to loved ones, keeps me informed, and allows me to explore new interests. From staying in touch with my children and loved ones to checking the latest news headlines, my mobile is a constant companion.

However, I’m mindful of not letting it become a crutch. I schedule breaks, prioritize face-to-face interactions, and use them primarily for purposeful activities. Yes, It’s a tool, not a replacement for real-life connections.

2. My Journal: A Space for Reflection and Connection

My daily writing journal is a sacred space for me. It’s where I pour my thoughts, feelings, and experiences onto the page. Whether it’s a joyful moment, a fleeting thought, or a deep-seated worry, my journal holds it all.

Writing helps me process emotions, gain clarity on situations, and even connect with others. I sometimes share excerpts with close friends, fostering deeper understanding and strengthening our bond.

Yes, It’s a personal sanctuary, a place where I can be completely honest and vulnerable with myself.

3. My Wife: My Lifeline, My Partner, My Best Friend

There are no words that can adequately describe the importance of my wife in my life. She’s not just an object, but the very foundation on which my well-being rests. She’s my confidante, my cheerleader, and the rock I lean on during life’s storms.

At this stage of our lives, as senior citizens, our dependence on each other has deepened. She motivates me to stay active, ensures I eat healthy, and is always there to offer a listening ear and a warm embrace. Her presence brings a sense of calm and security that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.

These three pillars – my mobile, my journal, and my wife – are not just things I possess, but integral parts of who I am and how I navigate the world. They each play a unique role in supporting my physical, mental, and emotional well-being, allowing me to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Beyond the Objects

While I’ve focused on these three specific aspects, I acknowledge that life is enriched by countless other things, both tangible and intangible. Friends who bring laughter and support, nature walks that offer peace and rejuvenation, and the pursuit of hobbies that spark joy – all contribute to the tapestry of a well-lived life.

Ultimately, what matters most are the connections we forge, the experiences we cherish, and the love we share. These are the true treasures that make life worth living, and I am grateful for each and every one of them.

BE HAPPY….BE ACTIVE….BE FOCUSED….BE ALIVE…
