Like the first butterfly timidly emerging into a strange new reality. Like the first dewdrop balancing uncertainly on the tip of a blade of grass.
Yet armed with enthusiasm, fresh dreams, bundles of youthful exuberance, she delved into a career which would bring her to dizzying heights and lowly chasms in turn besides the plateaus studded along the way. However, her love for the field she chose, her perseverance and perhaps the stubbornness in her and of course with the gift from The All Mighty SWT, work was never a chore nor a burden.
The mix of science and art in her job was exhilarating, conjuring something out of nothingness was magical. Relating concrete to people, plants, animals, the rain, the sun, the wind, laughter, hopes, aspirations ...... was pure rhapsody!
And best of all, digging into history, feeling the vibrations from the past, re-living all those times of yore in building conservation that she loves best still......she feels truly blessed to be able to savour so much joy in her career!
And the other favourites she found time for. Fashion designing. Writing. Painting. Reading of course. She once went up the catwalk when one of her designs won a consolation prize in a competition. Her short stories published in magazines and newspapers brought in money. Her oil paintings decorate her home. Book filled home.
