Days Of Our Lives #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
This morning my eldest left for Florida with his teachers and friends from school. It’s an educational trip filled with lots of fun activities. He was very excited about this trip. Naturally, I was nervous. But his excitement helped me relax. I have given him instructions on what to do, what not to do, etc. Normally I would stress myself out thinking about how he is going to remember any of it or about the million different ways he could mess up in my absence. But this time I have decided to trust that he will figure it out. He […]
10 Rules of Life #FridayReflections
There are certain principles and rules that all of us follow. Today I would like to share 10 such rules that I keep going back to. And, here is a bonus rule that works for me: Most often a simple restart is all that is needed. Remembering these rules help me in getting on with my life with fewer complaints. Every day presents us with beautiful opportunities and lessons. But only a fraction of those lessons stick with us. Let me know in comments if these rules made sense to you. © Vinitha Dileep Friday Reflections is a link-up hosted by Shalini […]

I Am Grateful For #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
It feels odd writing this post today. I haven’t been writing my weekly gratitude posts since the very first one of 2023 that I published in the first week of January. The reason? Oh, there is no reason, other than excuses. Truthfully, I didn’t feel like writing a gratitude post. I wrote a couple of times – once in late January and once in February, but never took the effort to edit and publish the post. I have also been slacking off in my daily gratitude journaling. I wrote when I felt like jotting down what I was grateful for. […]
