On being the Light....

From a carefree, spontaneous and charge less homo-sapien to an anxious, vigilant and often baffled mother, my journey into motherhood may not have been very smooth but has changed me radically from a conferee to a patron. I have learned to transfigure my weaknesses  and stand tall as a guiding light for my children. The process which is still on, has appeared very gruesome initially where I found myself loosing to the new transformation but eventually crafted a matured, balanced and more appreciative me. My sole purpose in this journey of motherhood is to be the light which will guide my children to be good individuals. I am very sure this is just not my story, most of the mothers will associate with and appreciate theses changes which we so carefully and I must admit, with lots of pain introduce in our lives to become the guiding light.

-How the relaxed lazy mornings have transformed into early morning drills, so my kids learn the importance of starting the day early.

-How sinful, junk and easy food is slowly transforming into a more balanced diet. So the kids learn to appreciate the importance of nutrition over good taste.

-How God and spirituality has become the integral part of our existence (although it always was). My major task is to very carefully weave the threads of faith in their personality.

-How family time has become the the key word for bonding. 

-How discipline and painstakingly drafted rules govern the house (most of our kids hate us for these rules, but we can't give in, right?)

- Above all, how giving, and being responsible is the only way of life, is what we are trying to inculcate in our kids.

 True What is to give light must endure burning!
