When in doubt, remember this!

 

 

I have not been blogging that frequently. I know I love to put my words on paper and share my thoughts but somehow, I just could not bring myself to blog in these past few months. In fact, since the “you know who” virus – I have not really been my optimistic self. And I felt blogging something when I am myself not in a happy space, is a worthless task. That is until today, when I read one of my favorite poems. I hadn’t read it in a long while.

I would love to put a few lines of this poem for every one out there who, like me, are struggling with existential questions or not-so happy thoughts. To remind both you and me, that this too shall pass. And what remains, will just be memories of how we felt and what we did about or in spite of it. So, buck up and give your best shot to all that you do or face!

We all will just be fine and there will be light beyond the dark, promise!

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail —
Be the best of whatever you are!

P.S: For those who liked the above lines – they are from the poem ‘Be the Best of Whatever You Are’ by Douglas Malloch 👼Go read it – quick 2 mins read but will definitely stir up some inspiration👍

 

My life as a Blogger - 2

I have a special liking for William Shakespeare.

Not because he is probably the best selling fiction author¹ of all times but because we share our birthdays 👏☺

So today let me quote one phrase from his plays² cause that will clearly describe what I feel today.

 'Why, then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open'

You know, It's one of those days when I slept very nicely. Woke up refreshed³ and raring to attack my day.

Today is Sunday, a day for my home and family. In that order, cause first I plan to clean up a bit and then spend some time with the hubby dearest!

Why am I mentioning the mundane details of my life in this post?

Because there are times when you just generally want to blabber. And this is one of those days for me!

Also refer to my blog to understand how difficult it is for me to blog on Sundays 👍 😉

On that note: Happy Sunday you guys. Let the world be your oyster today! ⁴

1. Reference Google - Estimated 4 Billion Copies Sold.

2. Shakespeare 's The Merry Wives of Windsor.

3. People who sleep badly will know how rare and welcome this is!

4. To make up for the lack of content in this blog, I have put in extra efforts for the blog image - Hope you like it!

My life as a blogger - 1

10 am:  Yours truly sitting on her study and blankly surfing the net.

10.30 am: Shocked to find half an hour has already passed by, while she was getting into the mood to blog.

11.00 am: She just decides to write her feelings down for this blog.

Excerpt of what she writes:

This is sooo weird!

Since I started this 21 day challenge of blogging, I just went through one weekend(last one) and today we are back on another Saturday. And yours truly, finds that last weekend I faced a writer's block and today history is repeating itself!

You know, I am conditioned to be "not working" on weekends for some time now. So sitting on my study today and getting to research topics(yes, I do research), select one, that would be fun for me to write is quite a bit of a task. Come on, you can relate to me right?

So as you may have guessed, I don't really have a particular topic in mind to write on.

11.30 am: An eureka moment strikes!! The topic of the blog today suddenly seems to take shape in her mind.

She thinks, wouldn't it be fun to dig out some tricks and tips to get work done, when you don't wish to?

12.00 pm: Starts doing some serious research on the above topic.

Her parallel thinking cloud: "Wait, I have a parlour appointment coming in next half an hour, gosh I haven't even showered yet! Got to rush...!

May be tomorrow I will write some really hot stuff on this topic!!

Also, my blog readers are really very very understanding people.

Sssuuusssshhhhh... Now is not the time to remind yourself, of the fact that, only my dearest ones (family and close friends read this blog).  Later! Hurry up hairy lady!"
