Little drops of water!!

I am coming back to blogging after a long time. What have I been doign all this while? Ashamed to confess, nothing much. Had been to India for 2.5 months, and now back to my life here. My baby is 16 months old and takes up all my time and energy. Not to mention that unlike a lot of other Moms, I am rather lazy and laidback. I have been lurking in a lot of blogs and really admire these people who are so creative, tech-savy, and so focussed.

My own lethargy, I am trying to overcome it. I have set a task for myself, that I will update this blog at least 5 times a week, come what may. Doesn't matter what I write about, so long as I do any posting, I will be happy. No more editing previous posts and playing around with templates.

Matter of fact, I am listing out the things that I want to do (over next 3 months). These are all things which I have initiated over the last year and seem to done zero progress with.
Here we go-
1. Learn at least 5 new words/phrases of French and subscribe to AWAD for English.
2. Do some jogging/brisk-walking (4 days a week)
3. Understand derivatives (either i am a moron, suffering from ADHD, or just plain dumb, have got nowhere with this)
4. Blog Project
5. Learn to bake a new cake each month (one month is a good time period for husband to forget the disaster of last time)
6. Lose 5 kgs of weight (that is a tough one, no eating G's chocolates)
7. Enjoy the time I spend with my daughter, without worrying about career, money, etc.
8. Attempt to make new friends ( a big toughie for me in Belgium, since i hardly go out, and suffer from a whole lot of complexes and insecurities)
9. Keep in touch with family, friends, cousins, etc.

The slow thawing

I realise I am inconsistent in lots of stuff and instead of my usual defensive spiel,  here is a quiet acceptance of that. Guilty of that and many more things....but not being disciplined tops the list. It shows how I take care of myself, how I keep order at home, how I generally mange myself and my world. How easy it is for me to not keep up to anything consistently....Its embarassing, its seen in the constant self-talk I have with myself. It shows up in stuff pending over the week and taking over weekend, it shows in the amount of dirt that came out of cleaning under the dish-washer, just one of those things which I had been forever planning to do; it shows in how I finally managed to paint my toe-nails after one year - sometimes there was no nailpolish remover; or nail polish itself; other times it was something I remembered just before bedtime or just when stepping out, hence no time to dry itself; sometimes I did remember but pushed it away for a bit and then forgot because so...

May 2013 - The Elusive One

Image
Think back to a month in your life. Do you remember any month or period specifically from the sweeping past or present? Maybe the month before the board exams, last month in the hostel eagerly awaiting to get back home, the month before you were getting hitched that was crammed with frantic shopping and plans on the side to run-away solo or when you were expecting your first baby, waiting for the moment and savoring the peace as you balance one of the last books you will read in peace on your tummy.. I seem to have always had conflicting emotions in every situation, constant yin-yang and the entire range in between. As a part of this group  celebrating our first anniversary on June 2, 2013, we were given a small challenge. Totally voluntary, I must add. The theme being 'The Elusive One'. One could choose to do something new, make a small change in your lifestyle, person..something you've been putting off for too long. You get the drift, move out of your comfort zones and ...

New Year Resolutions - Blogathon 2014 Post 1

Hello all! This is the first in the series of posts for the month of January, Blogathon initiative by Dreamy Mommy here . Today's prompt is New Year Resolutions. In fact, in my hastily scribbled end-of-year post I did touch briefly on this. In the last few years, I like to make resolutions or declarations, whichever, in writing. This is because in the course of steering one'e life through uncharted waters and all that, it is easy to land up someplace you simply did not intend going. My main compass-points for this year are - 1. Take one day at a time - each day is important, value it. 2. Move it, move it - So get moving in some way - a walk, a jog, yoga, dance... 3. Reflect before you speak and/or write. 4. Take responsibility for yourself and what you want to do, easy just does not do it. 5. Be thankful, be grateful, be positive and open-minded. Appreciate differences. 6. Put everything down and listen to my kids when they are talking - even if they are repeating ...
