I am a woman. I am a daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, mother, aunt and friend. Is that all I am? No. I am also an employee (at work), a chef (when I plan and cook meals for my family), a disciplinarian (with my kids, of course), a teacher (to my kids), a chauffeur (when I run errands and drive my kids around), a tailor (when I sew the patches on my son's martial arts uniform even though I hate sewing). a doctor (when I make my kids feel better when they are sick with my hugs and kisses), an accountant (when I work on our personal tax returns, pay the bills and take charge of the finances at home), a housekeeper (when I keep my house in order), a referee (when my kids fight) and a magician (when I magically make tears disappear). Is that all I am? No. I am also someone who loves to write....loves to read....loves music....loves the rain....loves watching the colors of the sky at sunset....loves the beach. I am someone who loves watching movies whether they are Hindi, Malayalam or English....who laughs at the comic scenes in these movies and who cries during the emotional scenes in these movies. I am someone who is terrified of horror movies....but will still watch them with my hands over my eyes. I am someone who dances with her kids and sings while cooking. I am someone who loves trying out new recipes but is sometimes lazy to do it. I am someone who gets very upset over little things and generally thinks a lot about nothing. I am someone who gets very happy when her kids hug and kiss her for no reason at all. I am someone who talks nonstop with people who know me well and stays quiet with people who don't know me at all. I am someone who has an opinion on just about everything....whether I express it or not. I am someone who loves chocolate....loves to sometimes sit down and do nothing at all....loves quiet moments....loves to aimlessly surf television channels watching nothing in particular. Yes, I am 'ME'. And I work very hard at staying 'ME' so I can do justice to all the other roles I play in my life. I am a woman. I am 'ME'.
Signing off quite happy being 'ME' and this quote by Frederick Perls
'I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.'
hahaha...love the horror part:)...and everything else....apt quote..very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteReally worth reading..
ReplyDeleteME... yes ...
lots of things to remember when u mentioned..
lots of positions.. statuses.. hmm.. feel proud..
hehe.. “What others say of me matters little; what I myself say and do matters much.” So it should better to hear from u about yourself.. and i think what u have written is common for most of the ladies..
i really liked this one Geeta.. very nice!!!
Sree, yes, this is common for most ladies. And I also feel that many ladies forget that they are so much more than just a wife or a mother or an employee...somewhere all the other parts that make up 'me' gets lost somewhere...and I hope that they find it....do the things that 'they' like to do.
