A couple of incidents that happened this morning and set me thinking..
1. I suddenly noticed a stain on a garment that I had washed and ironed with great care. After an initial Oh S*** reaction, I immediately got to figuring out what I could do for stain removal. Tried a couple of things, then just decided the garment needed to go through one more wash cycle.
2. The milk I had kept for boiling curdled. I didn't bat an eyelid and just went on to straining it and put it in the fridge, hoping to use it as paneer :).
I have consciously made an effort in the last few years to steer towards positivity, a lot of it comes naturally and sometimes I have to make that extra effort. But oh how freeing it can be! Here's to more positivity and happiness for all of us in 2014!

Very difficult. I feel after I became a mother, I am always at my wits end, and the husband is the bearer of the brunt of it all. Not good. I need to work on this through this year.
ReplyDeleteAathira, I know just what you mean. I was never the most patient, but after becoming a mom I felt the most out of control I ever have. Coupled with other things like being a challenged housekeeper at the best of times, it has seemed TOUGH on some days but I keep plodding on.
DeleteI like the fact that you're looking at the bright side. Makes you welcome new experiences with composure, or as in this case, unexpected situations.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed Shailaja :)
DeleteI totally understand this... I had to push myself into thinking positively about every situation and to a large extent Anoushka was an inspiring factor to get on this path... Keep at it Aparna... it really is freeing
ReplyDeleteOh yes freeing it is :).. thanks Ruth!
