Inside

Why is it so hard to imbue the right values and mores in your offsprings? Having domestic help that picked up after your kids for years has made them soft and lazy, loathe to raise a finger to help with the chores, even to clean up after themselves. The dishes they wash have food stuck on them and oil skins on the surfaces. The toilet looks just as messed up as before they started cleaning and the clothes lay when they were changed out. You ask, you coach, you cajole and finally you yell. Still the attitude does not change and the hormones are making them into beast where conversations are not conversations but high pitch moans and groans and grumblings that raise your stress levels and blood pressure to a point where you feel like you are going to get a burst vessel.

The sun is out, the days have been fabulous yet the abode which should be a place of sojourne and healing is the least bit so. Methinks I shall go out and take a long walk to find the solace that will bring my chi back to a state of balance.
