Once upon a time somewhere in the western world existed women, who were independent, had own rights and could do whatever they wanted to do. Fairytale? No! This is reality of the world where I live, reality I would like to share with you :) In fact, I am pretty sure that my life is more hectic in comparison to woman, who doesn't work and sit the whole life at home and feel blessed that she is here for her family. As for me I am able to take care of two kids, to work five days a week, to take care of household -cook, bake, wash clothes, do ironing, clean this mess here etc., to meet family members, also friends time to time and to have fun and go for the trips at the weekends. Let me add that I have no baby-sitter and I have to organize everything by myself. Honestly speaking, I can't imagine myself the whole life staying home, just to cook, clean the mirror five times a day and when kids grow up...grrr...then I would literally die of boredom and stereotype. I also can't imagine my life without traveling, going for holidays, no matter if to the mountains or to the sea. This is how I live my life- to be good mom, to see something, to have fun with family, to be useful for the society I live in and to feel free like a bird. I can't imagine myself without all this freedom! It is something absolutely common that I can go out, whenever I want without asking for permission, I can travel alone, I can wear what I want and it is just my personal thing, I can make decissions alone without asking my parents or husband, I can marry whom I chose to marry, I can show my kids that world isn't just our block of apartments but out there, far away from our city, I can .... breatheeeee :)
Wow......your freedom is very much enviable, dear!
While reading your blog Luci, Proverbs 31:10-31 came into a view. If you come to read this book from the Bible, you'll come to know what I mean.
One time, I watched the answer and question portion of a certain beauty pageant contest. A question was extracted from one of the judges and it went like this "What is the essence of a woman?"
If that contestant read your blog, she would have an idea of what to throw as her best answer.
