Life Changes.

Life has a funny way of shifting our routines. Weekends used to be my time for rest and recharging, but since my daughter went to the university, we started to feel the changes. Weekdays became quiet. Weekends have become filled with family moments and bonding. The hustle I usually reserve for weekdays now mellowed down, and Saturdays and Sundays were a bit of chaos. The noise, the laughter, and the little extra work remind me that these changes are worth every bit of lost rest.

Yes, it reminds us nothing stays the same for long, and often those shifts lead us to better paths...

This will be prolonging as empty nest will take place. My parents also realised that they were having that as we started to school for long hours, worked long hours, before moving out of the house due to marriage.

It's normal for life to change and yours has had a major change since your daughter moved to the dorm. Once you all get used to the changes, a new routine will settle into place and things will get into a comfortable rhythm once again.

I want to rest in Sunday because it's always my rest day and find something to do relaxing every weekend.

true. I want that too. But I am guessing this will not be feasible anymore
