Day-off day

By watedroplet

Tired of the whole week's load, I long for the day off to refresh and rejuvenate me so that I have a week full of enthusiasm and sparks. So, the first thing that I love to do on my days off is to sleep a little longer. I loved to sleep for long hours during childhood, so when I sleep longer, I feel like I did something really good.

Then my day-off drill begins a day before when I arrange for things that I would like to cook on this day. Cooking has always been a very good stress buster for me, so on my days off, I always try to prepare something special to have with my family. I never like to have meals alone, so I see to it that we dine for dinner together. We watch TV, talk, and laugh while we enjoy our dinner. But on my days off, when I make special lunches and breakfasts, I feel I have accomplished something very good in my life, and I love to cook like this for my family.

The days off are my cleaning days. I clean my house completely and do the laundry. So, this is my day to make my upside-down house a well-organised human house.

So by the time I finish all these daily courses, I am already exhausted. I love to go for a nap, which I cannot do on my working days. This is really relaxing.

Finally, if I am in a good mood, I do some craft work to make myself feel content and rejuvenate my soul. I sometimes do card-making, which is my favourite; sometimes I paint; and other times I love doing embroidery or crochet. When I complete them, that makes me feel satisfied and happy.

These are some good days.

I always love to spend time on days off when I just don't feel like doing anything. Those days, I just relax, giving myself full freedom to be myself. 

I still remember when I first started my job, if somebody asked me to work on my day off, that would send me mad. With time and age, I learned to go with the flow and never forget to enjoy, be it on my day off or on my working day. Just live in the present and enjoy everything that goes well.

I learned not to be bound by days off but to live and embrace every moment over the course of time,

So now I don't wait and pile up my work for days off, but finish as much as I can. So on my days off, I can sit and enjoy anything and everything with my family.

Work became more enjoyable when I learned to embrace my day off like a prize. After a tiring week's work, stepping into a day off is like stepping into paradise. I really long to be in this place when I can be me. No one disturbs me on this day.

    I also feel my weekends as a prize for working hard the whole week. I love to take nap, watch something and cook. Cleaning shelves is always on my list but seldom I am able to finish them as holidays vanish in a blink.

      Same happens with me always. But still I never give up on putting them in my list. I always feel there will be someday that was just perfect....but I think thank God it is not perfect so I can always dream to do something on my next day off and my life goes on.

"The best way to make children good is to make them happy."                                                                                      Oscar Wilde We live our life in stages. There is a childhood stage, adolescence stage, adult stage, and old age stage. We live them all and try to make each stages as good as possible. In our life this childhood and adolescent stage is much influenced by our parents and their parenting. The famous psychologist Alfred Adler mentions that the way a parent interacts with their child has an impact on the child's future. His studies show that the parenting styles could contribute towards  inferiority complex  in children.  Exploring about parenting lead me to discover that the aggressiveness in children is associated with their unmet needs. Jan Hunt in her book "The Natural child- parenting from the heart" some of the silly mistakes which we do where upbringing our children. She mentions that we objectify our babies and mani

By watedroplet

Patriarchy wails aloud in our present society, and we all have seen the devastating effect of it as women are left out of property, dependent on husbands, subject to domestic violence, etc. If this is what you feel, then this book is the right choice for enlightenment. Summary The opening of the book is the real gripper. Stepping into the story with a suspenseful opening of the death of Dakshayani Amma, drawing our attention towards something wrong done to her. The suspects are her relatives, for everyone seems to have a motive to kill her. As the story unfolded with the advancing pages, the detective aspect of the story slowly faded away, showing the ugly look of a mother who chose the matriarchal crown over everything and, in this quest, ruined her happy married life and made her children long for their father forever. The charm of legacy blinded her to such an extent that she only focused on her daughter, Pavizham. The lives of other children meant nothing to her. This book intro

Become somebody's staff

It is always said that life begins with oneself. Yes, I agree with you, as I said in my last post on self-love. But then my mind was drawn to something unique. I still remember my ambitious school days, when I never failed to compete in every achievement. That was my adrenaline rush and my youthful plus life. For some time, this chase phase was awesome, but as I advanced in my life, many more surprises enlightened my happy life. I learned that achievement is just a drop in the ocean; I have to fathom many more fields of honour. As I was learning the meaning of life, I observed something strange happening around me. I saw people stamping on others in order to climb their stairs of success. Many times, I am left behind in such races. At this point in time, an image rolls in front of my eyes. "The mother." When a girl is married, she thinks of herself and her husband, but in this husband-wife relationship, the wife also expects something from the husband, and vice versa. As she
