    :hello:Thanks but you held me spell-bound with platitudes, which I do not deserve.
    2. At my age, outgoing persons like you would do more than double and it won’t be a wonder.
    3. Regarding “My daily menu” I am sure you are not keen to know the foods and fruits I eat and the beverage I drink! I presume you simply need me to write about “routine” & how the my wakeful hours spent. If that is correct, I consider my routine is (a) be helpful all the time to others including your spouse both indoors & outdoors, (b) anticipate work to be done anyway and do it at once lest you tend to forget, (c) plan out slots for important productive
    work well in advance & complete it within target time and if task is huge outsource or make incremental progress.
    4. Paying timely attention to all areas of (domestic) work always almost brings peace to self and rest of family members. Doing simple or complicated task in “MINDFULNESS” set-up yields desired results faster make One quietly productive & efficient. There could much more to the “MENU”.
    God Bless Us All.
    Regards.

    Do not ever tell everything to your husband. Specially the sites you visit, the things that you do in your leisure. Specially not about indusladies. If my husband learns about it he will definitely confront me with the same question. Its good to learn from here but try to keep this hidden. It happens even if you get a new friend and spend good chunk of time. Husband will raise his concern about what's going on between you two. So no need to share everything
    there are things which are sacred for us and there is just no need to share with anyone.

    Hmm, I am repeating this again for the n+1th time here. Someone famous, and by virtue of that quotable, once said, “show me your friends and I can infer what kind of a person you are.” My life experience in one compact statement – People! You are a product of the company you keep. Man is no island forever! Though born an island, he quickly grows and expands and is subsumed into a larger landmass by stimulation and influence of his mates. What he grows into is dictated by what he is growing up with. There is no the society, there is only my society.

    First sutra: The only wise step you can ever take is to select good mates who would ensure that you rapidly evolve in life with least effort at your end no matter how foolish you embarked as. When I say good mates, I don’t mean gushing friends who will call upon you everyday or chat up emotional each time but sturdy mates who have your best interest despite fitful engagement and are willing to take that time and effort to polish you and enrich you.

    Mind you, if an apple does not fall very far from the tree, similarly, the apple also does not blossom any different from the others in the orchard. Books and self-help exist aplenty! But, nothing like a smack from a well-minded person to show you the wu-wei.

    I am fussy with whom I consort with ...because it is a myth that you learn and need various techniques and life-hacks which you assimilate whilst interacting in a diverse crowd. The truth is you don’t need so much to learn, just hang on to the essentials relevant in your life and on board only that kindred sub-crowd. Opposites might attract instantly but it is the likeness which bonds and flourishes in the long run which enables you to grow up in the path you have charted as relevant for your life. You might have very less in common with people who are very different from you. Stay focused in life and choose your mates accordingly. Don’t let the whys and whats of people at large confuse you with their options and necessities and purpose of life.

    Second sutra: It is better to be feared than be loved in life. Machiavellian import! Between “love” and “fear”, I choose the latter for it is less temperamental.

    Thank you sir for replying. Your menu is too good. I jokingly said about menu in the same manner we ask a person what your mother ate while giving birth to you. But your reply let us know more about you as a person. You are very kind and caring. Your family must be happy to have you. Please don't mind for my jokes. I feel free while talking to you because of your very innocent nature. Thank you once again.

    Thank you for showing your concern about this. I never discussed anything to him. He just checked himself and know just the name of the site.

    Thank you for sharing.
    Very true. I too observed that many times. Every person has friend of their own kind. We become what we see.
    I didn't get the second sutra. Why fear better than love? Can you please further explain this?

    Hi @MonikaSG I would like to add my favorite lesson of life..

    Always keep yourself engaged.
    Learn something new every day.

    In family front... planning vacations, birthdays, festivals, other celebrations ,planning for baby, buying house / other properties, planning a surprise, unexpected gifts, cooking a favorite dish for a family member / friends, games

    Social front. Planning get together, potlucks, group events for next festival event (Nobody need to be an expert to do an immature group dance but that can be the start). Group vacations, games

    In career front. Let it be promotion, certifications, upgrading skills, changing company.

    From smallest event to biggest one keep yourself engaged. Take part actively. You create Fun for your family. Do not wait for invitation. Instead start it and ask for help from family members.

    Then you get an idea where to improve how to improve.

    Then you value your vacations. You have to sleep at night instead of mobiles / laptops. Your brain and body needs rest.

    When you look back in a year you will have so much memories.

    Every event doesn't need to be perfect. You have so many years in front to make it perfect (I learnt it in a hard way!) But that thought matters a lot.

    Idle mind is devils work shop. So keep yourself busy, engaged, laugh loudly, have much fun. End of the day that small moments makes life. Every day matters!:cheer:

    Browse in private mode, I hope your real name is not Monika and he is not reading your posts. Though whatever you write should make him fall in love with you more ! You seem to really try hard to strike a balance between maintaining peace and standing up for what is right. I really admire this quality of yours.
    If DH doesn’t help make your life easier by making one pot meals etc. like harinideep suggested. Wish you the best!
