Reminiscing…

My darling mother had got a few boxes of things ready for me to go through this time.

There were old photos and various paper items. Things from my past. Things that would hold significance for me.

I haven’t finished yet but it has been such fun going through the photos!

I’ll share these with you…. little Ritu going to school for the first time in her oversized blazer,  with the tweed coats and bobble hat we had to wear in the winter and the straw hats as our summer attire!!!

Pink and maroon uniform… wasn’t I lucky?!

Haiku time! Written on a Monday, but posted on early Tuesday morning as Lil Princess thought the holidays would be a good time to start getting up at 6am! Yawn!

The prompt – Pie & Dust.

Pie-ku – A Creamy  Tanka

Apple pie alone
Is not enough for my tum
Cream is needed too
Complemented with a crunch
From the dusting of sugar

Summer Plans!

I was looking back on a post from last year, and it seems I am somewhat in the same psotion.

Last year, we had every intention of sorting the kids bedrooms out, and I wanted to try and get fit, lose a little weight… but it didn’t happen.

I ended up lethargic, and unable to do anything. The fear or many things was whirling in my brain, and on the last day of the holidays I got the courage up to to to the doctors.

I was diagnosed with an extremely low Vitamin D level, so put on really high dosage supplements! It seems to be the trend nowadays, everyone has a Vit D issue!

But I was good, and things started out ok… until I forgot to take them, and the tiredness crept back in. It took me a while for my sunshine deprived brain to realise that I had been forgetting something important every morning! But I did remember, and I am back on them. I hope this holiday, we can accomplish what we wanted to last summer!

I’m prepared!

And I kick-started my trying to get healthy past by going for a walk in the Gurdwara playing field, which is a stone’s throw away from the  house, yesterday evening, with the kids. It was so peaceful!

Serenity in the sports field!

And this morning, I managed a lie in, which was wonderful, with no night time visitors, except for the furry kind, and his was the face I woke up to this morning too!

I am currently packing for a few days at my parents, with the kids, and then the big makeover of the rooms will start! And I feel pumped! We will achieve this this year!

Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 75

“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.” – Willa Cather

I think this is a particularly apt quote for me today, thanks Spidey!

My life during the academic year is definitely a bit of a storm! And during that storm, I learn a huge amount! Under pressure to perform, you learn all sorts of things to help you keep going, especially towards the end of the academic year, and it is important to appreciate the experience of colleagues you work with too. They have weathered these storms many years in a row, and have some amazing coping techniques!

Equally, in the calm of the holidays, there are so many other things out there, open to being  learnt. You can learn so much about yourself, at a time when you can finally think of yourself somewhat.

That is what I am planning to do, over the next 6 weeks. Find myself, write more, and give my time to my family! In the process, I am sure I will learn lots about myself too!

Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps! I will be chilling, and packing, ready to go to my parents for a few days!
