30mins Of Reflection
It’s 7am and I am enjoying my coffee. My daughter and the dogs still asleep around me. My husband is already on his first conference call… Naah, I am not ready to start my day…but with the phone in my hand, I finally sat down to spend sometime thinking. The last several weeks has been new for everyone. A routine has formed….but we crave for something new…anything….but it seems like the days are just going by…What’s it doing to our heads? Here some of what’s going through mine
- WFH is more like WTF!
It’s going to be the new normal alright, but I am curious to see how people cope with it. Thus far, it seems more like working all the time. Like the computer never goes off. Like the brain stays switched on…like I am there at home physically, but am I really? It really is more like WTF!!!??? - Learn new skills…start with some basics
So I realize now why women in the old days knew how to groom themselves. Never have I missed my salon more. And I have no clue how miserable I will look when I get to go…(note to self: buy tweezers!) - Food – why is it so important?
Gee…I started baking! It’s hilarious that I would even try coming from a family of some seriously skilled bakers…but then again, why not? Who said I can’t be good? More importantly, greed to eat banana bread, carrot cake, apple crumble….bring it on. In the middle of all that, pakodas and vadais. Damn! I want it all… - Aging parents – hmmmm
I love my parents…and I know they love me. But I realize something about personal space. My parents need theirs more than we do ours. I guess when you reach a certain age, you literally don’t give a rat’s ass about what people think…and that’s how it needs to be. It’s been hard on my folks. I see them struggle with the limited space, the bloody sofas that sink in, the dogs and the need to be tactful when you speak, walk, dress…not because anyone wants them to…but it’s like an unspoken thing. I think parents should have their own space because it helps them feel independent and free..as they absolutely should. - Adulthood is overated
I find it way easier chatting with my daughter, having fun with her, playing with her. She is 6 years old…I love being around her. It’s simple positivity. Kids make things easier, happier and definitely funnier. I think we have some of the most hilarious videos of her. I love her. - Money, money, money
If someone ever comes to me and says, the most important thing is happiness. I am going to ask them how they got it? I have newfound respect for people who are thrifty. Like why was that not taught in school?!!? or how to make pot loads of money? It’s the basics. Treat money with care. Coz it’s like money finds money. So start thinking of new ways to find some.
That’s it for now, I am certain this list will see a part 2. For now, I am just glad I spent 30mins writing. Have a good day!
