Relationships

My resolution is to write something at least four times a week.

There are two primary reasons why I wanted to start blogging. One, I felt like life was passing by too fast and I felt this urgent need to chronicle it and second, I think some or any kind of creative work makes you a happier and positive person. Some days it is easy to write but some days like today it is difficult but I wanted to keep up.

Today I am penning something that I am really working hard and investing a lot of conscious time on – relationships. It is very easy to take them for granted and get carried away with the day to day life. I am trying to be present in the moment and putting in time and effort into all my relationships especially with the boys, husband and my parents. This means a lot of things are taking the back seat especially the house. It is nowhere near the neat and tidy image I have of it. I want to re-organize the whole place to suit the current functionality with two kids and one almost crawling but I have to consciously let go. I have to choose to go out and play with Krish instead of trying to organize the pantry, sitting down for a quiet meal and just talking instead of hurrying up and going to the next cleaning job, taking the time to Skype and just chat, just taking the time to be present.
