This morning I woke up with a heavy heart. These past few days, I was down and feeling troubled. I felt that things were not going the way I envisioned it to be. I felt everything was not working as planned despite my efforts. I felt frustrated and tired. I also felt that people around me are also not appreciating the efforts that I have put into my work.

This is on top of their daily household activities like doing the groceries, general cleaning, baby-sitting, walking the dog, etc. These workers collapse into bed at night… exhausted.
