Thank you for sharing Susan! Well, I wish I could wake up! I don’t know why is that, but when i lived alone, I was awake at 6:00 AM now I have a family – my husband Janis (it’s John in English), and girls, and even at 9 AM I feel tired and don’t want to wake up…
If you consider it a job for pride sake then it’s the hardest but if you know that it’s your duty and you are naturally made for it, then it’s a joyful experience.
It’s okay to sleep more than 6 hours as time does not define rest. However, about the full time job, that’s your problem which you need to solve. Being a wife and a mother is the first and foremost duty of women.
It’s great you love your job. But you have to do both then 😊
Also, you can’t be both independent and be a family person at the same time. It does suit a women to be akone or independent even if she’s rich or successful.
I believe balance is key. While family brings immense joy and fulfillment, my job is also a significant part of who I am. It’s possible to be both dedicated to family and independent in pursuing what you love. Happiness comes from finding what works best for each individual.
That’s an interesting perspective! I think everyone has their own path to happiness, whether through full immersion in one aspect of life or finding a balance between different passions. For me, both family and work contribute to my sense of fulfillment. It’s all about what feels right for each person.
Sacrifice is certainly a big part of life, especially when it comes to family. I believe that while sacrifice is important, it’s also essential to nurture our own passions and well-being so that we can give our best to others. Finding a balance, even if it’s imperfect, allows us to contribute more meaningfully in both areas. Life is a mix of giving to others and taking care of ourselves so that we can continue to give.
You’re right—prioritizing is necessary, and different stages of life might require shifting focus. Right now, I’m doing my best to nurture my family and career, even if it means one sometimes takes precedence over the other. It’s all about what brings joy and fulfillment in the moment.
It seems we have very different views on life and happiness. I respect your perspective, but I also believe in the importance of maintaining my own sense of fulfillment and well-being. If my approach doesn’t resonate with you, that’s okay. It’s clear we see things differently, and perhaps it’s best to part ways. Wishing you all the best.
I genuinely believe sunset has to be one of the most magical and miraculous times of the day. And the fact we get to experience it every day? Has to be a privilege if I’m being honest.
I agree with you. Unfortunately long, dark and cold autumn rainy days are coming and I won’t be able to experience the sunset or sunrise until January. How about your place? Do you have plenty of sunny days?
I believe that when those magenta clouds fill the sky & the sun winks goodbye, that is the most magical moment of the day before you’re greeted by the diamonds in the night sky. That is the best time of day for me. It seems that your favourite time of day must be Golden Hour because of the pictures. Anyways, have a great week ahead! BBB
That sounds so poetic! Those moments really are magical. I agree, Golden Hour has a special charm too, especially for capturing beautiful photos. Just two more days until the weekend—hope you have a great rest of the week! 😊
