Dear Readers, you may notice the dates of the Blog do not match the Flash Post dates which are in real time. The blog was written in 2009 and saw the light of day 6 months back when my younger daughter discovered it and decided to bring it to you here.

May 19. “Button, I changed my chore-infested life around a bit and it made me feel really good.”

“And how did you do that? You’re someone who loves to do everything by rote!”

“I actually took a break from what I was doing, put my legs up and read almost three chapters of the book I am reading at the moment.”

“Wow! How unlike you! And how did it feel?”

“Marvelous. I felt I was sneaking away and doing something I shouldn’t be doing yet feeling good about it! But that whole experience was something else. It gave me a high. It made me feel proud of myself.”

“You must do such things more often.”

“I was telling Dost this morning how I had read almost half the book during our vacation in Phuket and not a single sentence on return.”

“What book are you reading?”

“Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. It’s an international best-seller and has been made into a hit movie too.”

“Change can be exciting.”

“Only if you give it a chance to enter your space. Whenever I’ve done things in a different sequence, it’s been for the better and made me feel good.”
