Soulful Sundays is back, folks. Would you like to hear the five lessons from this week?
After coming out of a rather troubling week previously, this one gone by has been so comforting and a balm to the soul. You’ve heard that saying, ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.’ Guess I managed to do that 🙂
As I come out of this week though, I am glad to share these 5 things that warmed my heart:
- Understanding that my daughter is not forgetful on purpose has brought so much clarity into our relationship. To read more, check out this post if you haven’t.
- Meeting up with family after feeling so lonely all through illness was a cherished moment. When the parents and in-laws all get along so well, it’s a blessing, you will agree. Getting a huge haul of Wodehouse books made my Saturday, thanks to my fabulous dad.
- Hosting my first-ever hash tag party on Thursday was both fun and exciting. I gained a lot of insights into Twitter behaviour which I will share soon in another post.
- I’ve been sleeping early most nights thanks to following The Happiness Project and it’s been such a lifesaver through the week.
- The best moment of all, though? My husband came home on Friday night after a week and said, ‘This week has been good for you, I can tell. Your face has a beautiful,peaceful glow that it’s been missing for a while.’
Did you have a soulful Sunday?
Did you make lemonade with life’s lemons?

I might feel jealous of that book stash if I didn’t own it already! Haha. Great list of 5 things! Yes, make lemonade, that’s a good way to show life what’s what!
I loved that post about being forgetful, Shailaja! Glad to see you bounce back and being wise about sleeping early. Sigh, I am working on that!
You have a super week ahead!

Catching up with everyone’s post after about a week of being MIA, due to the flu. So please forgive me for the delay. 🙂
This is such a nice way to do a recap of your week. I believe this would be lovely to look back on.
Psst.. I am only slightly envious of your book collection. 😛

Shailaja recently penned this post Soulful Sundays- Making lemonade
You truly did make lemonade if came out with so many learnings despite being unwell. And for a husband to notice it – it must be big :-D. I have to check out that Happiness Project. Hope you have many more good weeks.
I know, right? Husband noticing it clearly reflects that this is working, the conscious focus on happiness, I mean. I have a really good feeling about 2016 and hope it persists well beyond January 🙂 Wish you a wonderful week too, Tulika!
