Hey beautiful souls 🥰
Hope finding joy and peace in life despite the odds 🙏♥️
Our weather is getting slightly cool but not enough to use blanket at night and wear warm clothing ☹️
I really miss normal winters that bring huge change and life becomes different than one we have during hotter and exhausting routine of lengthy summer . Now winter season seems short and milder enough to continue to wear thin clothing. This is amazing how weather can bring an adventurer to the still routine of life just like rock thrown into the motionless pond cause stirs 🤗
But I am still grateful for whatever is by the grace of God 🥹🙏
Dear Friends my sister has come to stay with us for sometime and it’s huge pleasure and peace for me to have her 🥰 She is with us since a week and we are spending nice time together even though she is more busy with her cell phone as her children are in Islamabad and she misses them of course. My business has increased so you can feel that I am missing few of your posts maybe sometimes. We are planning little trips with my sister to the villages of hubby’s sisters and to Sukkur city for little shopping hopefully 🤞
That’s it for now precious friends,I will take leave now but first a curiosity to share.
How to spend time with people who don’t like to watch tv ,listen radio or read books?
I would love to know your opinions!
Health, peace and happiness to you all and all you love ♥️🙏🥰
Long walks at the park.
ReplyDeleteAlas dear Sandi 🥹I wish I could do that every day ☺️♥️🙏
DeleteHow lovely that your sister visited, Baili! Spending time with people who don't watch TV, listen to radio or read books...perhaps a lovely walk in nature together, chatting over a cup of tea or a nice meal, going to visit a museum or art gallery.
ReplyDeleteSending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love.
Dear Linda many thanks for beautiful comment,I really appreciate your kindness 😊
DeleteSadly I have to skip walks in nature as being women we have to stay indoors in our small city here unlike Islamabad or other big cities ,it has crowded but narrow roads and due to much dust everywhere outdoor walks are healthy for men only ,women go to market in groups mostly but intensely crowded narrow paths of old market are huge challenge to walk through for women who can avoid bumping into carts and men riding motorcycles.
Chatting over cup of tea is my most favourite thing honestly and I absolutely love it. And I try to make it happen wherever my sister is around but she seems to addicted to her phone like kids of today so I feel I am throwing my words on her needlessly 😅
Hi Baili! ♥ I'm happy that your sister is visiting! Hmmmm...I would say, lots of sightseeing and lengthy dinners together! ☺ It's interesting because your first thought about winter, it would be the opposite for me...summers are too short and winters are too long and exhausting lol! (I'm sure Debra would agree!)
ReplyDeleteDear Rain sorry to say our small city has no sights to see though it has auditorium, open air theatre and one small park but it’s pretty uncomfortable for women to visit there to feel relaxed or enjoy because of the men around.it’s little odd here for women here even in this modern era.but things are very different in bigger cities as I said so .
DeleteI can understand that our summer and your winter are longer and we both have to wait longer for having different weather ☹️
Like the weather we do get into a certain routine wherever we go. The phone has changed many of the things that we used to do. Especially when company would rather be on their phone. I've seen it during the holidays. We gather to gather to be on our phones. Maybe you two can cook together, make cookies and bread from your childhood to bring up memories that bond you. Oh, and old photos to bring out. And of course, there is always shopping. Wishing you a wonderful November. Yes, Autumn has been slow to get here this year and it is truly rather odd.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with your sister! Perhaps you could go for walks in nearby parks or gardens?
ReplyDeleteDear Ellie heartfelt thanks for incredible words and I really loved your idea of cooking together,looking old album together or baking old favourite food 🤗👍🥰
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I would love to do any of these with her if she can leave her phone aside and join me. She came and it was happy surprise and I really wanted to enjoy each bit of this opportunity because her mood swings and everything turns different suddenly. So this is chance for me to enjoy my little sister’s company. I see she has health issues and family problems but I still try to convince to drop her harmful addictions and do some exercise and I am happy she is doing exercises since few days. I have bought nuts and vitamins as well and she has started to take them too thankfully.
Actually she hates doing cooking or any housework since always so asking her to cook with me can make her mad at me lol😂☹️🙃
For us, walks in nature and picnics fill the time. Some people enjoy games and cards. Meal prep together and leisurely meals can be lovely too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sister time, Baili.
Could you do a puzzle together, or play a board game or cards?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what you would do if it really got cold like 0 celsius?
ReplyDeleteNature is best friend and a healer dear Marie 🥹☺️
ReplyDeleteAnd thankfully we have a little green area in our front yard like ten by ten garden area with widespread Neem tree , lemon tree,pomegranate tree and few roses along with a flowering climber,it’s only our hearts know how this makes our life fresh and beautiful to great great extent 🙏🥹♥️ for me nothing is more beautiful and important than spending sometime with nature regularly. I wish my sister would have agreed with me 😊 she has been a unique person in our family specially after returning from America in 2012. I miss her version familiar to me before she moved to the Islamabad to become an independent woman! She was my doll back then and we were friends ☺️
You can have nice walks!
ReplyDeleteI have so many suggestions for you. Learn what interests the person. Do they like to sew? Make a quilt together. Do they like games? Find board games to play with them. Do they enjoy being outside? Maybe a garden will make them happy. Crafts? Have them make things. Maybe they could paint or sculpt. Just watch, listen, and learn. There may be a fabulous cook there. Good luck to all.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have your sister for a visit. But it is challenging if she doesn't like to watch tv, listen to the radio or read books. I think she will enjoy the trips you have planned. She might also enjoy cooking or gardening or just talking about family. I have a cousin who visits me from time to time. When she isn't busy on her phone we enjoy seeing the city, going out to eat or just walking around the city. Enjoy your time Baili.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with your sister.
ReplyDeleteHow about walks, or playing games or cards ... some people enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles.
Have a happy month of November.
All the best Jan
Thank you dear Jan !
DeleteI would love to do any of what you’re suggesting,I love walks more but I really board games in long summer days.we both sisters would play with our mother when we lived at parents house together 🥹🥰
Solving puzzles has become my favourite thing since some years now and I have did but few only that were brought by eldest son long ago. But haven’t bought any new as this city doesn’t offer such luxury as far as I know.i will buy when go to Islamabad or Karachi next year hopefully 🤞
Oh, Baili, I am so glad that you have your sister visiting you! Family is so important! We all do the best we can when it comes to posting. Much love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you precious friend Louise 🥰
DeleteYes family is very important,for me it’s everything 🥹
Much love and best wishes to you both dear Louise 🥰♥️
Enjoy the moments spent with your sister, dear baili
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Pedro ,trying my best 🤗
DeleteGreat to have your sister to stay for some time, Baili.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy you shopping when you go.
Play games, short walks do a jigsaw puzzle together, just a few suggestions.
Heartfelt thanks for your beautiful words dear friend Margaret 🥰
DeleteI really appreciate your ideas and I hope I can follow them up in future 👍🤗
(I left a comment yesterday, but since it hasn't shown up it must not have been delivered.)
ReplyDeleteCould you and your sister work on a crossword puzzle? Or play cards or a board game?
Even if she’s busy on her phone, having her nearby must be comforting. For spending time with someone who doesn’t watch TV, listen to the radio, or read, perhaps simple shared experiences work best: cooking together, going for walks, exploring local markets, or just talking and catching up. Sometimes the quiet presence of another person, even without structured activities, is enough to feel connected.
ReplyDeleteDear Melody 🥰
DeleteWhat thoughtful and lovely words ♥️
Yes indeed watching her nearby is truly comforting for me 🥹 even she sit with me rarely or talk a little still passing by and doing something while sitting close to her makes my heart warm 🥹
I try to ask her if I can massage her head or back as she has backache occasionally.I feel happier when she allows me to do that 🤗
I am making her do some exercises daily so she can get her strength back.and making her eat nuts so her mental function can improve 🥰🤗
Sweet friend Kathy it’s really kind of you to revisit and leave comment🙏
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of playing board games ,but don’t have new puzzle books,and my sister might not like it because of her present mental condition as she is under stress due to her family issues. But I can ask her to play board game yes 🤗
Many thanks for your lovely gesture my friend ♥️😊
I think it is wonderful that you can spend time with your Sister. I miss mine everyday. She passed many years ago but I have great memories. That's what you are doing now, making memories.
ReplyDeletePrecious friend Nichole I am sorry for your loss 🙏🥹🙏
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine your pain my friend but yes treasure of beautiful memories helps a lot 🥹🥰
I am really grateful for having this in mind that life is too short for keeping distance from relationships 🙏🥹
Despite normal odds of relationships I try to extract my joy related to my loved ones,my sister included 🥹🤗♥️
