love, warmth , respect of children

Make  home a sweet home

I feel perfectly  Gezelligheid with my husband. He is very dependable, caring, helps  in house hold chores. Never complains about my chronic

illness. I feel very secure, comfortable and cozy in my home with him. We argue, we have difference of opinions but we give each other lot of

space. We always agree to disagree on some points without any hard feelings. Now, when I am writing about this, his so many good qualities

are coming to my mind. I think I take him for granted on so many matters. He is patience  but firm in his opinion. He is the most gezelling

person in my life.

( I don’t know how to use Gezelligheid or gezelling in writing)

6- Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs… since the payment is pure love.

8- The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.

9- Women do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women’s opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

‘ The only permanent thing in this world is change.’

When two person marry, it does not only changes  their single status, but their attitude towards each other. They have to learn compatibility, caring and sharing. They have to learn to live with difference of opinions, to make compromises for each other. The glue which can make their marriage is friendship, love , compassion and commitment. In a way marriage changes their whole world. Well, these are my views, what my friends have to say about this, lat us see-

As my friend  Stevenhallbooks reminded me, I will add- good communication between spouses is a must for good relationship.

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 7 – True Cost

True Cost is a term for the often-overlooked, comprehensive expense of something, including the time-related and emotional costs.

There is so much to write on this subject and I could not decide how to make it short so I wrote this piece.

True cost of anything can be judged by the rewards it gives. So while investing in anything be careful and invest wisely.

invest commitment in marriage- get lifetime partnership
invest time in prayer- get peace and serenity
invest concern in environment- get healthy and wealthy environment
invest honesty and support in friendship- get true friends and joy

invest money in seeds, flower and trees- get healthy, beautiful surrounding

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 5 – Meraki

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 5 – Meraki
Meraki [may-rah-kee] This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be.

I think whatever I do , I do with Meraki or I don’t do it. Be it cooking, sketching, writing , photography or any house hold work. I just didn’t know the exact word to describe it. Thanks to Rarasaur I have learnt a new word for it.

She has asked to write  List 5 things you always do with meraki, here are they-

1- I always say sorry and thank you with Meraki.

2- I love my family, friends and every one with Meraki and when I hate dishonesty, violence, lies etc ? yes,  that too with Meraki

3- I write my blog with Meraki.

4- I like, appreciate and comment on others post  sincerely, with Meraki.

5- I love life and have lived with Meraki and I’ll embrace death with Meraki. ( Wow sounds very romantic no?)

 

Any task we do not do with meraki lacks something, seems incomplete and lefts a taste of dissatisfaction in us. Whereas whatever you do with

soul, creativity, or love, will fulfill you with joy and satisfaction.

 

Now about sharing a picture that represents doing something with meraki, I can’t leave this oppertunity to showcase some of   of my drawings and  photography.

Thinking Aloud

So you think you are a very wise woman

you let go  your children to  grow

you never interfered in their matters

you allowed them to fight their own battle

you made them tough and positive

you smile proudly on your achievements

But,

the moment you hear they are sick, suffering

all you want to do to is to hug them, cuddle them

wrap your arms around them

to hide them from all evils

you don’t want them to suffer

you want to be there always to protect them

knowing well

you will not be there forever to look after them

how love makes one weak

Or

it is your strength?          kids5
