Saree: Black Phulkari on georgette. Choli: the once famous Rs.40/- 1997-ish velvet blouse with my attitudal "just do it" layer.. teamed over my crossfit workout leggings
Story: yeah yeah I know! Its a true Saree but whether I draped it or wrapped it.. I will leave to your imagination. Every Day in life is like a blank piece of postit paper.. you can choose to do one of the many options..
- do nothing about it
- crumple it and trash
- scribble and vent frustration
- lend it to someone asking them to fill it
- just don't bother to even consider it lying around
- create an art. Make the blank paper come to life with small or all memories, any or many treasures. Paint it with smiles, brush it with love, powder it with care, blend it with relationships, mend it with eraser, and end of Day smile at it and put it where it truly belongs.. in the page of heart, in the book of life.
Don't you think So? It's up to us to leave or take the pages and create our own story board. So... JUST DO IT!
I told you this new year I would like to pay attention to my total health.. body, mind and spirit. As women, we often and always take care of everything and every one around. We care for what our family eats, where they eat, how it matters to their health and what's good or bad... BUT... we forgot to add one constant in that equation.. OURSELVES. And then algebraicly the equation is not balanced. LHS <> RHS
I stepped back to think why it bothers me more now than ever before?
- perhaps because the grey hair in hair brush candidly reminds me it's mine and not Amma's anymore.
- perhaps I want my son to learn, appreciate and acknowledge that physical wellness is something I truly care about and I want to live by example.
- perhaps his smile everytime he sees me work hard (he coaches me as well) motivates me to be more than myself.
- perhaps because it's the right thing to do after all?
No matter what or why.. I think I will try best to "Just do it"
We bend backwards for so many things in life, for once.. why not for ourselves? For .. only when we are in good health and spirit , can we take care of all those that look up to us ! More Shakthi to us!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the wrap around saree experiment.. if nothing you can at least get a good laugh envisioning my craziness, which I seem to surpass myself every time!
Love all.
