But for me, I really look forward to weekend, after spending five days at work. I wake up early on weekend as well, to meditate and spend sometime to talk to God. Then I spend morning time helping my mother in household chores, helping her in preparing breakfast, and have conversation with my family while having breakfast. After all the work gets done, I would read books, and then write a blog about any concerned topic that would come to my mind. In evening I usually spend some time for my passion, which is painting. Then watch TV with family while having dinner.
