Some Advice!!

Hi all,

Thanks for browsing through my Blog, my little effort to do something worthwhile in the evening of my life! But here's what I would like you all to do- other than wash,clean,cook ,feed and take care of your family and home ever so lovingly.

Me being so old can't help giving ADVICE!! Try this, do something other than the usual in your life- have you tried to awaken your dormant or hidden artistic talents be it singing,dancing, sewing or even drawing and painting? Just try and see how much more fulfilled you feel. Your own family will love it and look at you in a different light , in fact appreciate you. Reserve a few hours a week for your interests and see how you feel and what you achieve, after all we live only once and on the Womens' Day I have nothing but this to say- do something../anything for yourself.

I may or may not be around , but you will surely remember me for telling you all this!
And don't forget , all good things should be passed on....
