In Bliss
Hey WA Fam, Hope your all in kindered spirits and enjoying a relaxing Sunday.
I just wanted to stop by and connect with you all and share my feelings of being in bliss. Even though life has lately challenged me in many ways that I've felt overwhelmed and exhaused by it all.
But as I started my day today with great persistence to write a blog for my website, I was feeling that I am pushing myself to do what, and questions and thought like 'why am i even doing this? what am I going to achieve? am I wasting my time, started to flood in. I should be looking for an ordinary job to supplement my income etc.
I stopped thinking, at looked through my window that shows a beautiful scenic view of nature, and began to counteract these thoughts and remind myself of my goals and aspirations and to my surprise my mood changed. I did some training and then was thinking what should I write about today.
As I was thinking about International Women's Day - I ended up writing a tribute to my sisters, which not only made me feel great but also made thier day.
So, the point I am trying to make is that sometimes if we just come away from the thoughts that consume our mind about what we need to make our life better and think about what we can do for others, brings us immense satisfaction and joy and serves others. Reminding ourselves with all that we have got and not thinking about what we haven't, certanily helps you live in the present and appreciate the little moments and blessings.
I for one has realised that being able to spend time with my family and loved is much more rewarding than just having lots of money in my bank, I want both but not at the cost of my family. My 9 year daughter says she loves spending time with me and prefers to have me home with her than me to go out to work on Sundays. Bless her she even tries to compromise he list of demands, which only lasts for a few minutes but its enough to make a mothers heart melt.
So, I guess persistence and doing things for others is the lesson that I was reminded of, which made me feel great and moved me away from the niggling worries. Everything will work out. We should only do what we can and leave the rest to the higher universe.
Have a blessed Sunday.

Oh! My goodness you are so right. It is wonderful to be with the family. It is my yearly escape to go to my mom's house and be together with my sisters and my brother. Unfortunately this year does not look that I will be able to go and visit them because of Covid-19. My Mom is 103 years old and I don't want to bring any sickness to their home.
Oh bless you Lydia, yes, it is a difficult time to for all, especially not being able to see your elderly parents. I am sure once this blows over, we will be able to unite with our loved ones. In the meantime for their benefit and our own we have to comply with the social distancing advice.
Stay safe and enjoy the quiet life.

We must comply. Thank you!
