Blame it on PMS

They say we lose our minds once a month. I think we start being sensible once a month – but it only lasts for 3 or 4 days! Things we normally overlook and take in our strides get to us finally!
If you ask me they should be getting to us all the time. But then if I say this to someone I will be blacklisted as the woman with PMS. It is funny how a little extra hormone can change your mental abilities. Tolerance level comes down and decibels go up! My husband is totally terrified of “that time of the month” or as Red Foreman of “That 70’s Show” would say “The lady problem”. It is not all that bad. If human emotions were stagnant wouldn’t you get bored?
If I am smiling all the time and saying all kinds of sweet thing – will it not get to “YOU” at some point? The only proof that I still have feeling is when my emotions change. If all of us were perpetually happy or sad or neither – how dull it would be! IMAGINE. So PMS is actually the real you who pays us a visit once every month.

Imagine what you can do!

The only strong belief I have held on to for sometime now is "There is nothing I cannot do if I put my heart to it". I have put this belief to test over and over again and it has never let me down.

No one promised me a bed of roses for life - our parents ensure we get one for as long as we are under their wings - but the moment you declare your freedom - you "are" on your own. So when tough times come knocking and you have knocked your head against the wall a million time; then comes a time when you almost give up.

All anyone needs to do then is take a deep breathe and a break for few moments to purge your mind completely. When you return to tackle the task/problem at hand - you will find renewed energy and more determination than ever before to see it to the end. It works like a charm every single time!

Giving up is something we do when we don't want to try enough, when we are unwilling to take those extra steps and see the rewards of our efforts. There is and will never be anything more rewarding than the fruits of real hard work. It could be working out hard at the gym... Ask someone how s/he feels about working hard and losing all the weight they wanted to lose. It is heaven right here on EARTH. So today I will start towards that heaven one little step at a time - by making my way to the Gym which has been beckoning me for the past one year! Keep you posted!

Look before you leap

They said in the local newspaper – “a seven month pregnant woman collapsed on a hot summer day and died”. The baby was fine, but the mother didn’t make it. When I wondered how this tragic event took place and read on – it said that she was at a game!
That makes me think if I should name it as careless or carefree. But no matter whatever anyone names this incident…it looks like the baby is going to have to live without its biological mother because the mother wanted to go watch a game outside when the temperature was close to a hundred degrees!
The most delicate state a woman can be is when she is carrying another life inside her. If not for herself or anyone else she holds dear – she should have a minuscule amount of fear in her for the life inside her. A mother’s instincts should be to protect the baby and do everything in her power to keep it safe. Foregoing the chance to watch the Red Sox play the Angels is not a decision that should take more than a split second to make. Some people are willing to give it a thought some people just leave it to fate and the thoughts flood the mind later…
