@galenkp; What is your most favoured way to find pleasure when you're alone and why?
Answer;
I prioritized my children's wellbeing above my needs or desires.
Raising kids takes a lot of hardwork, especially when you are covering for two. I never had time for myself as I was doing my job of raising them and doing the normal 9-5, just to be able to cater to their needs. But with each passing year, they are growing and those little tasks that kept me on my toes most of the time, kept diminishing. The years go by so fast and suddenly they are all grown up and I am alone with so much time on my hands.
For a mother like me, facing an empty nest is one of the most challenging phases of my life but reflecting on the past 23 years of life as a parent, I'm uplifted knowing that I have been able to raise children who are flying because of the love, care, patience and guidance, and they could look back on the great mother they had growing up.
It was all worth it!
Right about now, I'm trying to find pleasure alone, I have become reflective, seeing this phase as an opportunity to accomplish and enjoy this next part of my life, doing whatever keeps me happy and satisfied. I'm taking a breather, to catch up on life like I have been away for quite awhile.😊
I know I have to treat myself right so I have learnt to enjoy my company, all by myself. I find pleasure in listening to my kind of music(country), watching my kind of movies (I'm just in love with Zeeworld and Indian movies) and then staying connected to my parents. They are aging and I know they miss me a lot by the way tears well up in their eyes anytime I came around. I make the moments count for them because I know that one day down the road.... Well, time is ticking.
Mom and Dad on Mother's Day!
I have learnt to love my solitude.
Above all, I'm having fun, in my own company, all by myself. 😊

A son and daughter that old? You don't look a day over 25 yourself. 😉
You just won the 'Best Complimenter Of The Year' Award. 😅
Haha, I didn't know that was an award but I'll bloody take it! 😎
Bloody Cool! 🤗
Being proud of doing right always makes a mothers heart content, time for parents who I am sure are proud to witness their grandchildren now adults, and knowing they raised their daughter well.

Your words gladden my heart, a mother is a builder and nurturer of her children's destinies, today and tomorrow, and always. Thank you for coming around.
Once a mother always a mother it is in our makeup, fathers also play a big part, I'm eternally grateful to both my parents.
It pleases me to know that you are a person who in addition to caring for others, knows how to take care of yourself and love yourself. A hug @edith-4angelseu
Thank you so very much @enraizar. Hugs ❤️ my friend ❤️
