LOH Contest #198: All Work And No play? Nah!

Greetings ladies and hope we all had a blissful week. Sure, the weekend is here again for us to have a bit of resting because we all needs it.

And one of our questions for this week’s contest from our dear friend @cautiva-30. is an interesting one which is also linked to moments of resting especially when we take out some time to so spend joyful moments with friends.

And the question says 1️⃣ Many times in adulthood , as a mother or with a lot of work and little free time, its good to meet up with our friends . How long has it been since you’ve moments of laughter with your friends.

Yes! we are all always engaged with work, businesses and even most times house chores for hours, week to week, trying to make things right, but have we been able to make everything right? Have we been able to situate things and never for a day in a week or two have nothing to do? This is draining indeed

My work is the type that gives me so much stress because dealing with clients week to week on helping them for search for properties of choice, either for renting or leasing, is one that needs energy. Some season are worst than others depending on the time frame of search and demand.

Although innovation and technology is making things a bit easier when it comes to property search online, but sometimes what you see online is different in the physical, which is why most times one needs to involve in visiting the site of the buildings to check out on the major requirements a client specified on. This is e where the work demand is.

Then being on site will also involve you taking some shots to edit ✍️ and sent to clients that are involved, which you might need to visit two (2) to three (3) places in a week. This routine continues to run through the month on work days though.

But then I don’t I joke with my friends when it comes to having nice times and laughter moments during the weekends, because the weekends are time to unwind, take care of oneself, family and friends. Saturdays will be for rest-in-bed into late morning, then some tidy ups before taking out time to go shopping 🛍 into the evening, then do some cooking 🥘 to be refrigerated for the coming week. This system has helped me for years now to align things and cut down stress.

However, Sundays are usually moments with friends . I will at least visit a friend every Sunday evening. And some Sundays will be their turn to visit me. So its already like a ritual or should I call it a habit because we find so much joy in just seating together to discuss our feelings and thoughts 💭 which sometimes needs advices. Then we we will chat and laugh 😂. Its always a relief moments over a drink 🥃 and snacks by the side. I always look 👀 forward to this .

Friendship is give and take, a bond that we sometimes see as avenue to keep moving on in life because of the kind of people you share your thoughts 💭, feelings emotions and even pains with. Friendship is full of good moments and bad moments , but I could say that the memories I have are that of how my friends has helped me through the journey of life and this is why we still share some good laughter moments together. Although I don’t have two many friends but I do love the ones I have . Those you are compatible with. Who see you for who you are and take you as you. Who understands your time of joy 🤩 and time of pan and not just for good times.

In conclusion, no man is an island 🏝. We need people around us apart from our families. We needs time off and moments too to create laughter with friends. We need those who can encourage us as friends because I believe in crossing paths with people of different cultures, which enables us to see life differently and value those that are not blood 🩸 related because some friends has inspected so much in me and life, happenings and experiences has thought 💭 me that “ family is not by blood 🩸 alone”.

Thanks for reading ladies. Hope you enjoyed.

Cheers 🥂to the weekend ❤️❤️.
