    Glad you nominated the post, Viswa. I missed reading it till now.

    Response by @DDream in the thread
    I Am Confused..need Suggestions

    That's true, Viswa. It's a delicate balance to offer advice in cases where the person has valid grievances from the past but there is no point in brooding on them. DDream manages this conversation neatly. If OP there pays attention to even a few lines, she will benefit:
    Living with resentment is actually harmful to you than others.
    Emotional safety is very important in marriage.

    Its important to be practical and look at the larger picture & improve present than focusing on issues that are done or you have no control.

    And you never fail to inspire me. I truly mean that. It continues to be a veritable pleasure to behold the "So what?" in your posts.

    Thank you Viswa. I also finished reading @umaakumar's story Blind Faith in one go.

    It's a thought-provoking narration in which the characters ask, or try to ask, a few important questions as they grow from children into early adulthood, and then when they have children of their own. The events in the story are ones we can easily relate to. I am already looking forward to the next writing by Uma.

    Viji Jaaneman, first - thank you for the snippet. Next, thank you for nominating @beautifullife30's response Memories

    Same pinch! I was inspired by the chains and bracelets pictures and once made a bracelet. Will try to dig it up. Do share your silk-thread creations.

    Sure Rihana....let me try and dig it up. I actually sold most of them in an office sale and made around 5K for that and paper crafts. Sadly i donot have a single pic of all those.

    Rihana,
    The working/staying home/quitting work/ going back to work debate keeps happening on various levels here every now and again. We see a lot of great inputs and hopefully the participants find an answer.

    Why work especially if one thinks one is financially comfortable? I’ve always thought it’s because it’s better to keep the mind occupied for a healthier life. I’ve never thought of it in the way @hrastro puts it.
    Do whatever you do to feel fulfillment and contentment when there aren’t other constraints. It’s a lucky few who find their dream job. I wish everyone who has the option of choosing to do anything can pick something that gives them the satisfaction.
    I would love to nominate Hrastro’s post Should I Keep Working Till My End for the finest post.

    Rihana,
    I think anytime @DDream posts, there should be an algorithm here to automatically add her nomination to Finest Post!
    She’s clear and spot on in her analysis of the situation. Her solutions are unambiguous and straightforward to follow.

    Think about actually being independent! I have come to realize in the recent months that working outside the house isn’t necessarily being independent. All of the steps DDream has listed is to ensure the OP gets there with positivity and improved self esteem.

    I’d love to second the nomination for DDream’s post This Is What I’m Going Through So Long With No Solution for finest post.
