Hey Wonderful Farmers !
Hope and pray that all of you enjoying the harvesting season of your beautiful lives with gratitude and joy :)
You sowed ,watered and reaped magnificently !
Plowing throughout the life while facing various kind or unfavorable weathers make us learn and grow for better.
Each time we celebrate the harvesting season ,it gives us peace of mind and sense of achievement .
Which empower not just our being but strengthen our faith in our Maker and in ourselves.
As i told summer vacations are declared earlier in our Sindh province due to month of Ramadan.
My both sons are enjoying their holidays by playing x.box games or reading story books they brought from Islamabad last summer .
My youngest son is more interested in reading encyclopedia which is quite heavy and thick and gifted by their eldest brother .
I often like to help him in his readings by making him understand it in easier language . We both are having fun with this activity which reminds me my passion as child for atlas ,calendars and bits of knowledge i could found through books or radio ,t.v or even pieces of papers i picked up from paths or get as wrappers .
I loved all stuff that revealed something about the planet earth as being from small village it was such fantasy to know more about world where i was sent to live.
The excitement and enthusiasm was indefinable. I was kind of alien for people of my age and even for elders.
But still i was happy with my little different attitude.Today i realize that if my mother would have not supported me in my quite different hobbies i might have felt so caged and lonely.
She gave me wings and freedom to fly ,To dream and to make choice !
She used to take one hour walk just to post my letters which i used to write for favorite radio program.
When very first t.v came in a house of a village she would took us (me and younger sister) there so we could watch cartoons. Micky mouse and pink panther were first cartoon we watched .
Later she beard arguments of our elder brother and bought us a small 14 inch black and white t.v against his will.

She could have choose easy life if she would have agreed to not send us school or marry us in young age as brother and our uncles asked her to do.
I was so blessed and so lucky to have her as my mom!
Now when i give my children freedom to dream to make choice it straight comes from inside where i inherited this treasured habits from my parents specially my Mother!
My husband is also at home these days as we have decided to spend vacations at home this year so sometimes of the day we spend in chatting , reading ,doing due chores or ,
having fun with our kids who make us laugh by mimicry or sharing fun or informative stuff they learn online .
It mostly occurs specially on dinning table and is there need to say that we miss our eldest son more meanwhile !
His calls on weekends recharge our batteries :)
We often tease him that when he is going to get married or is there any special girl in his life ?
But he laughs and says everything will be done on it's right time and right now i don't have time for commitment Because commitment requires lots of time as time is essential to make any relationship work .
I pray from the bottom of my heart that may Lord bless him with as caring and kind life partner as he is himself,amen!
Our weather is swinging around 30s Celsius which is pleasant for us as usually May is moth that attacks with 50 plus .
Life is beautiful if we are capable to keep it simple .
Ugliness comes with complications that we often create to prove ourselves superior .
No matter how much knowledge we gain through twisted views and difficult vocabulary it cannot change the basic laws of nature and simple rules of life.
And all the peace and beauty lies beneath this origin of simplicity !
So keep it simple to find it beautiful my dear friends!
God Bless You All!!!

Glad you are enjoying this vacation in such meaningful ways.
ReplyDeleteBaili I cannot imagine life at 50 C. God bless you my friend!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post Baili. Parents that encourage their children to grow and learn are marvelous.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that your son is reading the encyclopedia. I remember dong that myself when I was very young.
Since I was raised on a farm your farm comments make good sense to me.
ReplyDeleteYour mother must have been a remarkable woman. She was strong enough to go against the wishes of the males in the family and she made sure her daughters had all the experiences she could provide.
ReplyDeleteBaili, it sounds like your Mother taught you the importance of freedom, and in return, you have taught your children the same. It sounds like you had a close relationship with her. My Mother was a wonderful person, so creative and always doing talented things, and I miss her dearly. I especially think about her around Mother's Day. I love this photo that you chose for your post, as it reminds me of the Pioneer days, which I feel a strong connection to. Your sons are still young enough to enjoy xbox games and read story books, so enjoy them as much as you can.
ReplyDeleteThe first line that you shared is so special and says it all........Hope and pray that all of you enjoying the harvesting season of your beautiful lives with gratitude and joy :)
Happy Mother's Day to you, dear Baili. I hope you have a day filled with so much love.

Your son sounds like he will make a wonderful husband, a caring man. Your Mom must have been very brave and loved you very much, what a wonderful influence in your life. I hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet the things you say about your mom!
ReplyDelete"No matter how much knowledge we gain through twisted views and difficult vocabulary it cannot change the basic laws of nature and simple rules of life."
So true.
Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteA mother is always a big and strong influence in our lives.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
There is no one like our mothers, she teaches us so much without us always knowing.
ReplyDeleteLovely to stay at home for a holiday once in awhile instead of gallivanting around the countryside. Laughs around the dinning room table, how wonderful. Brings back lovely memories as we used to do the same when family was all living at home...always time to laugh and talk.
Enjoy your precious time together, and let's hope the weather doesn't get too hot as 50 degC is very hot.
Baili, thank you for your dear comment on the Mother's Day post. It was so special to me. I know you understand all the emotions we have as a Mother, and your grateful heart shows how much you love being a Mother. I just wanted to come by and tell you how much I appreciated your precious words to me. Have a beautiful day, dear one.

Your mother sounds a wonderful person.
ReplyDeleteI think it's nice to spend time in and around the home together …
Enjoy your vacation or as many call it now staycation!
All the best Jan
Your mom sounds like an amazing woman! She was such a great support to you.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the best vacations are right at home!
I'm so glad your mother was a strong lady who protected your freedom of choice as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed it when our children were home from school. The pace of life slowed down and we all enjoyed time together. I'm sure you and your husband miss your oldest son, and I would guess that your other sons miss him too. He is wise to understand that a relationship takes time to make it strong - good for him!
I hope your cooler weather continues for awhile, as 50C is far too hot for man or beast!
This post filled my heart, Baili! Thank you for sharing. There is nothing better than sharing family time together! Your mother was an amazing human being, and so are you! You may have felt like an alien as a girl, but you were just unique. One of the great things about blogging is that you can meet people who are kindred spirits, who get you, who don't think you are weird or "different." You and I are kindred spirits in many ways, and I'm so glad I met you! Big hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteDearest Baili, your Mom sounds a wonderful woman...and I can understand how you came to be the amazing person that you are.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are unique - but definitely not weird!
I, too, felt "different" when I was growing up...so can relate totally to all you say here. I guess you could say that people like us are the thinkers. We think out of the box, and so others often fail to understand us.
Oh how privileged I feel to have found you...I no longer feel so ostracised, because I feel we fully understand each other...such a wonderful feeling of belonging!😊😊
Lots of love and hugs xxx
Hi Baili !!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this: 'Ugliness comes with complications that we often create to prove ourselves superior .' This is SO TRUE...very well said!!! I'm glad you're enjoying your "stay-cation" with your hubs and kids!! 30 C??? I have to say I'm a little envious!!! :)
What a lovely tribute to your mother, Baili, and how wonderful that you are so much like her in your caring for your own children. Both of you are amazing women and good role models for your children.Spending time together at home is often the time people get closest because they do not feel pressure to be doing something all the time. This Sunday is celebrated as Mother's Day and even though you do not observe this day as such, you do so every day.
ReplyDeleteSweet stories about your mother, Baili. You were indeed lucky to be her daughter.
