That is the name of the country I was in for the last year and a half! Yes! Can you believe it? It has been exactly a year and a half since I have blogged? I find it hard to believe because I always had a clear intention to write in the following week.......and talk about a stretched week!
I am not alone in the land of procastination. There are millions like me. No, I was not lazy....like all of you, I was dreadfully busy, furiously occupied, juggling priorities. Blogging, one of the small activities I enjoy doing (AND VIEW IT AT AS A TIME OF LUXURY TO EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS) was always to be done 'when I am in a relaxed frame of mind'. Needless to say, I was never in a relaxed frame of mind.
Why am I sharing my woes with you?
- Simply because I have decided to address the issue. I have told myself that enough is enough.
I can most certainly spare an hour a week for an activity I thoroughly enjoy and most
importantly, I WILL DO IT.
- Also because, YOU, as a parent, are doing the same to yourself.
Wake up parents, especially mothers!!!
Should you give all of yourself, sacrifice your time, your hobbies, your luxuries fo
r your child and family? Undoubtedly yes. I am a firm believer in the fact that your child and family come first. However, you come somewhere in the list..........don't you?
Do not forget yourself, Mamma. You need your outlet too. The routine can drown you in the sea with a lifejacket named, 'Tomorrow...next week....very soon...!' If you do not grab that lifejacket and let it take you to the shore, you will float in that sea forever.
Allot two hours every week TO YOURSELF. Without the guilt. Without the stress. Without the responsibility. You owe this to yourself. Pamper yourself, go to a Cafe Coffee Day...alone...read a book for two hours. Watch a movie. Watch the sea. Lose yourself in something you love doing. Your babies are going nowhere. You will return to them refreshed and a better mother.
Take a hold on your life again. Recharge your emotions. Recharge your self-esteem. Redefine your priorities from time to time. A very small thing when continuously postponed can become a huge issue. A very small thing, when ultimately done, can give immeasureable pleasure....

FOLLOW THE ROAD TO YOUR SIMPLE PLEASURES. GO FOR IT! I DID.
