3. Involve myself 100% in whatever i do
4. If i dont take real good care of myself, my family suffers
5. Exercise, exerise, exercise
6. Summer hobby classes for lil one
7. Self cook evening meals with daughter, these kitchen bonding sessions where she mashes potatoes and coarse chops tomatos with blunt knife are priceless. i get to know how her day has been and her li'l fears and secrets.
8. Teach her to swim and avoid the 2 piece swimsuit she's after me (she's only 5)!
9. I know no barriers and limits to my happiness
10. I have to play loud music every single day, no matter what

Fitness Quickie

This post was written in July and most of what is written holds true even today. Back in June, I had some time off and went to visit hubby who is on a sabbatical and studying. I use my holidays to eat, sleep and have fun, try new local cuisines, soak in the local life! I did all the above but also exercised a lot of restraint and used the gym at least 5 days a week, enjoyed the college life again, evening walks in the beautiful campus which is green and massive. The evening visits to the wonderful juice shop were awesome. Fresh air and delicious juice.

On to a new life

I have relocated to a new city. I am the new lady in town. The culture, food habits, weather, traffic, language is all very different. Until now i was cocooned in my home town, i knew what to expect from the city, the people, the office... this is entirely new terrain to me....my work profile is different...life is now not easy, ITS FULL OF CHALLENGES. But, I, like many women my age and conditions was in a quandary as to continue working or call it a day. But i stuck to it, stuck to this job. Few years back my parents had a dream for me, i completed my engineering, did post grad and joined this public sector company after struggling and working for it real real hard....Should i give up this dream or should i use every bit of strength I have, to keep this job? I chose the latter. I don't have the support i had in my hometown, but i have thought of working at ways to sort things out and not let negativity creep in. When you are positive, god and forces around you help you in ways y...
