From my garden

At some point of our life we fèel, dealing with stress or heartbreak are unimaginable, with negative thoughts ppuring in, especially for people who look outwardly happy. They are the one's who fix a smile in their face, even in pain.

As a new bride in late 1990's expectations were more than expected - New family, new partner and new surroundings. So every small issues were taken to heart, finally ending in headaches. Now when I Iook back, I laugh at myself the silly reasons I took to heart and got streesed out for unnecessary reasons.

Life's experience is the biggest lesson one learns in a life time.

Initial stages of a new life was a challenge. Slowly, life started moving with my family gettiing expanded. And reaching to all needs of my partber and children, apart from my job was the biggest challenge, sometimes leading to stress when I failed to satisy their needs.

Slowly, I started taking things for granted, related to this matters. I got more involved in my job as a librarian, which I loved. Involved in the sense means I took personal interest in purchasing of books, conducting Book expos, touring my students to Book fairs, preparing articles for school magazine etc. This definitely relieved me from a part of stress, as I spent more time in school.

Now that my children are grown up and are independent to take up jobs, they force me to do things I like to do like travelling, being active on hive by writing, gardening, knitting, tailoring etc... all these apart from house chores.

While looking back to my yesteryears now, I feel sorry for missing those golden days with my family. And now I understood taking things to heart on small issues only distance you from your loved ones.

A piece of advice from my life's lesson to all the youngsters and newly weds. Never take things to heart,unless it disturbs you roughly. Try getting involved in a hobby you love. It is very important to spent a few time on what you love by completely getting involved in it. This relieves you from stress. Meditation and Yoga very well relieves sress.

As I never got involved in any relationship, I never had a breakup story.

Never think about tomorrow, enjoy the present and be happy
