What do you do on Sunday? For me, it’s connecting with myself, my family and my faith.

Today I fitted in everything I needed for self care. Early start, 8am for a facial and hair conditioning, 11am Pilates and another 45mins on weights. Home for burgers that the husband made. Napped for a few hours and recharged. Today was a good day.

The painting is the Portrait of Margurite sleeping (1920) by Henri Matisse. Margurite was Henri Matisse’s daughter, whose story is equally fascinating than her father’s.

When we had Charlie, it was a difficult time. He had silent reflux and colic, which meant that we had to keep him at angle to sleep. Moments like this was far and few in between. Sleep deprivation was a constant.

As a new mum, with postnatal and slow recovery. I was very fortunate that my mum, my mother in law and husband protected my sleep.

They took the baby so I can recover as quick as I can. Of course there were arguments and emotional roller coasters, but one thing for certain, being able to communicate honestly with our struggles and sticking to the ‘don’t go to bed angry’ really helped my sleep and my recovery from postnatal depression.

Like the Frozen song…’let it go…let it go…’

What do you do on a Sunday? Our family has a routine we try to follow. Key word is ‘try’.

As it’s coming towards the holiday season, it’s becoming more and more difficult to stay motivated for work.

Everywhere is starting to be decked out with festive decorations and the jingles coming out. I’m excited because every Sunday brings us closer to Christmas!

But every Sunday reminds me it’s the end and the beginning of a new week.

We have massive things we’re wrapping up end of this year. There is a part of me that wishes we have more time, but the other part knows we all need this rest.

Does anyone else feel conflicted?

In the theme of parent’s love, I think about The Return of the Prodigal Son. An oil painting by Rembrandt, it was among one of the Dutch master's final works, likely completed within two years of his death in 1668 .

Depicting the moment of the prodigal son's return to his father in the Biblical parable, it is a renowned work described by art historian Kenneth Clark as "a picture which those who have seen the original in St. Petersburg may be forgiven for claiming as the greatest picture ever painted".

Art historian H. W. Janson writes that Prodigal Son "may be Rembrandt’s most moving painting. It is also his quietest—a moment stretching into eternity. So pervasive is the mood of tender silence that the viewer feels a kinship with this group. That bond is perhaps stronger and more intimate in this picture than in any earlier work of art."

The painting depicts the artist’s personal experience of forgiveness having been both the prodigal son and the elder brother at different stages of his life. It’s intense, it’s complex and beautiful.

Its Sunday, the end of the weekend and tomorrow is the beginning of a new week filled with opportunities and challenges. A friendly reminder to rest, connect and recharge.

How are you looking after yourself?

For me, Sundays are for:
- connecting with God
- connecting with family
- resting and healing

Last month our family was in Vietnam, and I found my new favourite Yum Cha place. Too bad, the flight is 10 hrs away and we're in Sydney. Do you have any recommendations on great yum cha places here? #yummyfood #yumcha #foodie 😋
