I Will Always Show Up For You...

I am a big fan of the Madam Secretary tele-series and before you read further, I have to clarify that this post is not a series review - by no means.

It's been a while that I have been following this one up and it's all about the lives of Elizabeth McCord (Secretary of the State) and her husband Henry McCord (Professor and a retired, decorated officer). It's about how they juggle their personal & professional lives, given all the chaos that surrounds them, day in and day out.

They are an epitome of what we describe as the true power couple. These two give us serious relationship goals and every episode gets better than the previous one and the one thing I definitely look forward too is - which is the next goal they're going to throw our way...

Every time when the going gets tough, they teach us to stick by together, no matter how messy the world around gets. A few minutes back, while I was watching the latest episode, they doled out another relationship goal and it struck an instant chord with me.

Under certain dire circumstances, Henry assures Beth - "I will always show up for you."

 I feel that these words are so powerful that if said with the true conviction and sincerity of the heart, they are capable of lifting any relationship to an unimaginable level of trust and love. This belief could become the medicine for a lot that ails any relationship in modern times.

As the sands of time seep away the suppleness of any relationship, it is the beliefs like these that ensure that the ship sails smoothly and no storm drowns it. In these times of thinning patience, unwillingness to adjust and willingness to give up just when the going gets tough, this is the belief that makes us stronger and acts as the potent rays shining from the lighthouse - guiding us to our true destination...  being together...being there for each other...

 So here's my resolve for the ones I love and care about - 

"I Will Always Show Up For You"

A Happy First...

Time sure knows how to fly. It feels as if I had just closed my eyes for a second and when I opened them, a whole year had passed. When I look back, our run-in doesn't cease to amaze me. One moment, I didn't know that Shera existed and then in the very next, fate plays up. And voila....

Well its just been about 365 days but seems like several seasons filled up this time. Just like the lyrics go - "We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun."

We had the best of the days, the craziest of conversations, found our partners in crime and that is not all. We also fought. The cold and silent pauses were innumerable and we even grounded ourselves with no connect - absconded is the word.

Our worlds brought us together and took us apart too. If we took ten steps forward then we ended up taking five steps back too. But as they say, everyone you meet...comes with a time stamp - few days, few weeks or months or even years.

I don't know what our time stamp is...and right now it doesn't matter...

For all we shared... for all we lost.... 

For all we learned... and all that we forgot....

There is so much more to share...so much more to cherish...

So much to explore....that this lifetime is not going to limit (us)...

 Let me stop my babble here and come straight to the point.

A very happy first to you Shera. Am sure your bag was a mixed one too coz mine definitely was. Looking forward to much more madness, many more crimes with the partners and endless crests and troughs to sail through together.

Stay happy...stay blessed...

Cheers!!
