My weekends are usually jam packed. Invariably I come up with a series of things to-do, places to visit, guests to be invited, mess to be cleaned and what not!! Saturdays are usually the times we prefer to spend the day out and have some family time. But, this week had been an exception and it is worth the mention.
I realized that I am in a race to catch up with life. I am running the hectic schedules with school, work, chores and forgetting that there needs to be a pause. A pause that will teach us nothing, that will take us no where. So, this weekend we have decided to do nothing. My son, my husband and myself just relaxed on the terrace and did nothing. We spent about two hours during which:
- We played cricket with a dummy bat and ball
- We enjoyed seeing the blooming plants on the terrace
- We loved the pigeons that came up fluttering their wings
- We admired the beauty of the dark clouds
- We hugged, laughed
- We cracked jokes
- Adding to all these,there was a beautiful rainbow and we enjoyed watching it
Sometimes, it is just okay not to do anything and relax. Do you agree?

My thoughts they are 
Your “do nothing” list sounds like a lot of wonderful something to me! It sounds relaxing, and fun, and devoid of stress. A beautiful way to spend a day.
I absolutely agree. And don’t do it enough. This post is a good reminder.
Woww, a day well spent!!
I too look forward to some days like this in this busy life.
It is absolutely worth every bit of it
Oh, I do this all the time. In between, I also work. Doing nothing a lot of fun irrespective of how many hours we spend at it 😛

Done so much without doing anything – relaxing with family is great achievement
