I was trying to clear a point to him which I always seem to do since we got married when he suddenly tells me why can't I write a letter about it , that way he would get the correct picture . When I think about it there is something in what he says .
For the last one and half years I had been busy with blogging that I haven't written any letter to him except the posts here in 'Heartbeats' .
You may think it weird to write to your hubby who lives with you almost 24 hours a day . He works from home . But that is our way . He would find letters in his cup board , break fast table , or the least an sms on his mobile . Once he threatened me if I write any more letters he would show it to my parents :D
Like it happens to so many people the love letters I wrote him after we got engaged brought to light my passion for writing . He was the one who identified I have a way with writing and that I should work on it .
I owe him every word on this blog . If you look at it from a wider angle it is a letter . A big letter which unfolds my life .
Once in these days when I landed on the earth from the world of blogging I found that my house and home needs me more . So I decided to take a break for a while and to spend even more time with my kids and their father .
I always thought I would be bored to death if I unhooked myself from the world of internet . All my acquaintances are in the virtual world . Or they are the only ones I have . But to my great surprise I wasn't bored even for a second . Each of my family had some thing to share with me.
We did a lot of snuggling , reading , cooking , craft work , watched movies and TV shows , frequented the park....
And even though it would be treated as a crime by Indiblogger rating I am enjoying it :D
Haha! You are right on about the Indiblogger rating! If you blog everyday your rank goes up! :P
ReplyDeleteBTW, before jumping on the blogging bandwagon in 2006, all I had done had been write letters to the L & M for close to 22/23 years ;) But of course most of those years were spent apart he being an Infantry man :)
I am glad yo enjoyed your time away form the blogging world too. :)
Shail , What makes me happy is he do look forward to my letters how ever silly they may be ! And that is an achievement being the evasive self he is !!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure L&M had a great time reading those letters ...:D
I'd like to comment on your "So I decided to take a break for a while and to spend even more time with my kids and their father ."
ReplyDeleteI have read some where that no one in his death bed ever complained that he had not spent enough time in his office. I believe no one will ever complain that one had not spent enough time on the computer either.
Do spend as much time as possible with your family. I have five children and when they were young I worked late in my office including weekends. Of course my boss was very happy with my work and rewarded me handsomely but thinking back I should have spent more time with my children as I believe if I had asked them if they wanted me to make more money or spend more of my time with them they would have answered...
Now 4 of my children are away from home and I hardly get to see them. My daughter who is now with us will leave for further studies next year and then...
Yeah, he got long letters from me and all I got in return were short one! :( ;)
ReplyDeleteBut, in al the years we stayed apart, the most important personality in our lives was the postman of the place! Haha.
You are so true , Luqman !
ReplyDeleteBut seldom parents realise it when they are young and smart . They never think that the stage of childhood will pass too fast for them to notice and soon kids would be on their own way .
My wishes for your daughter's higher studies !!
Awww... that is just so sweet!!! I've hardly ever written a letter to the hujband. But yes, the internet is truly addictive, and sometimes I find myself simply hooked onto it from morning till noon!! Such a waste of time. These days, I voluntarily turn off the lappy so there's no chance to waste time on the net :) Though, I have to admit, I do log right back in at the slightest opportunity.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ '...treated as a crime by Indiblogger rating...' - how true!!! That's why you should jump onto the bandwagon of Wordless Weds and Thurs Challenges!!
Try it out Pal! And you would wonder at the results a letter can bring :)
