The title of the post is probably a bit premature...given that most of the celebrations and festivals are yet to come. But what do you do when after a nice, long vacation you are thrown back in the fire and heat of work, school and all aspects of responsibilities? You crave for something that gives you the feeling of lasting comfort even if it's at the cost of enormous guilt. To beat post vacation blues in my home I came up with a twist on the raspberry jam bars...metamorphosed the same recipe into cookies this time. Sweet, chewy and slightly tart in taste these cookies were paired with a glass of cold milk to give everyone a smile and some energy to 'conquer the world'.
At this point, as the Monday blues hit home on an otherwise relaxing Sunday evening, I feel the need for a mood lifting potion myself. Inertia as defined in the physics text books is indeed a dangerous thing. When I am on the go, there is no stopping, no resting and no pausing. One break from the crazy pace and I feel derailed. It feels like I have to climb Mt. Everest all over again to get back into the swing of things. Does anyone else feel that way? Does that mean long trips and holidays spent in distant lands are bad for folks like me?
Naah...it may feel awful to work hard again, but long holidays to yonder lands are wonderful because they help you reconnect with many things in life:
1. Your health
2. Your family
3. Your friends and relatives
4. Your roots and above all
5. Your heart and soul...
I shall strive to take more breaks and not fear the pace. I shall strive to work with a smile and laugh while I play, for there's always a sweet thing or two that is around to glue the gaps between.
