...matter of time"

I always loved the idea of cooking for dear ones.. However, i didnt know to cook anything (blame it on plain laziness).. This was till i got hooked..to him.. He taught me everything i know abt cooking today (and continues to teach me)...
If all you do is cook, after a long day at work, then it does get on your nerves , many a times (and this happens quite often to folks of my generation).

Despite all this, the aroma while cooking, the way the colour of all the ingredients blend and in the end, the burp , sorry, i meant the satistisfaction of eating a simple good meal... is a nice feeling.

We managed to prepare dinner my family in December... and a dear friend's family in January at our home. Though most of the preparation was done by "we know who", I played an important part of being the dutiful assistant and helping in the strategic planning it... See for yourself.. ;)

This process gradually allows us to identify the negative thoughts and remove the chaff (read as negative) from the grain (positive). But to a distracted mind as mine, with a even lessor attention span.. to write down my wandering thoughts is a huge task.. So if i wanna put my thoughts down.. this is how it would appear now..

Yoga ... Badly missing morning snuggles... Keeping home neat and tidy... Losing weight... To read a new book... Work anxiety ... Learning to type faster without looking at the keyboard.. Vaginismus & Porn.. Gotta go for morning walk.. Been a long time since i kissed his cheeks.. Salads... Time value of money (CFA level 1)... Sedentry lifestyle.. Trying hard to control the inner brat.... please come back..

I read a definition of Motivation which went like this

Motivation = Wants * Beliefs * Rewards

If you know what you want , and beleive that you will receive it by working for it, then the thought of the reward makes you motivated to work towards it...

In the present scenario, when the wants keep multiplying exponentially, beliefs keep changing by the minute and rewards dont seem forthcoming.. Motivation seems to go for..
