Or the art of killing time? Allowing your mind to wander and not be occupied with something. Staring across an expanse of blue sky or warmth of your home’s ceiling – not filled with sadness but a subtle warm glow of peace and contentment.
For a working mother like me, such moments are rare and precious. Away from the calling of work or the duty of parenthood, I find myself surrounded by existential questions like ‘What’s my purpose?’, ‘What do I identify as?’ and so on.

I now think life’s a journey of such questions stringed around the fielding of daily chores and duties. One can either be a hermit by renouncing it all and answering them or keeping up with the family ties and stealing those ‘me-time’ from all the busyness. There is no perfect answer so choose the one that suits your bill.
