I missed the last week's contest, but nevertheless back again for this week for the @LadiesofHive contest # 232:
Ladies of Hive Community Contest #232
The questions for this week are:
1️⃣ Work is a basic role in life which allows us to satisfy our economic needs. However, it is necessary to enjoy moments to have fun and relax, either with your work colleagues or with your family. Tell us how you experience these spaces? Share a photo of these moments of relaxation.

2️⃣ There are states of mind that arise from our way of facing what happens to us, either with resistance or acceptance. How do you face the difficulties in life? Identify your mood here.
Now I am at that stage of life where I do not have to worry about earning money, that is solely hubby's responsibility and thankfully his job is also not very stressful so both of us have a good amount of time at hand where we can do our own things. But saying that I have so many other things in life happening simultaneously which keeps me engaged and from there I have to remove my fun time, which is not actually challenging. Most of the things I do I enjoy so I find fun in that only. Going 1 decade back I can say this was very relevant for me. In this time period, the most fun activity for me is travelling and working with Crystals. Travelling is often and Crystals is a daily affair.
Going back in time, after starting my career, for 20 years I had a hectic work schedule which would be a 9 of working in the office and then 3 hours of commuting every day. By the time I would reach home, I would be so exhausted that I could not think of having any fun or even spending time for myself, because that time my son was small and I had to take care of my parenting responsibilities also. I would start my work day at 6 in the morning and by the time I would reach home it would be 7 in the evening, and after that it would be home responsibilities. Weekend was the only time I would get to do somethings for myself.
In all of that Saturday night was always for myself and I would spend it with my friends. I enjoy music and dancing, so most of the Saturday nights I would go out with my friends clubbing and return late night. Sunday morning would be again relaxed spending time with family. Some times we would take off on a day outing and some Sundays were family movie time. This was my fun factor then, and it was pretty good.
At this stage of life, it is pretty relaxed and I have the liberty to relax and have fun whenever I want. But this stage has not come easily, it has taken years of struggle and sacrifices.
One of the things that I enjoy doing is making Crystal grids.
Coming the second question, for me more then resistance or acceptance, I believe in first surrendering to the situation and then accepting it. When everything has been tried and nothing changes then the best is to surrender because then it's meant to happen that way. But the surrender part only comes when I have tried everything and still I am not able to breakthrough. So it is first surrender and then accept. I always have believed in the higher force that constantly works with us for our good, so when things are not going our way even after pushing it to it's maximum limits then probably it's not meant to happen.
