The retirement years!

I retired form CMC Vellore in 2008 and Anna in 2010. Since then we lived at hour ancestral home and worked at MOSC Medical College Kolenchery. Anna finished her term of service at the college in December 2020 and I too shall finish my term of service by June 2022. 

We are older than what we appear in this picture, which was taken at the time of our retirement from CMC Vellore. We keep good health and feel glad for the opportunity to live our vocation in the way we are able to, inspite of some limitations. 

We have a garden in our courtyard with different flowers that Anna carefully nurtures. They give us a symbolic meaning of the mission of life- to live our lives open towards others!

Ours is a learning journey towards that calling!

We continue in this journey of life seeking fuller experience of the 'two becoming one'!

As we gathered the flowers from our garden today and placed them in this vase today, we felt that we live amidst the abundance of life that we have been blessed with! Now we explore how we can share the joys of life with others around us!
