Happy Mother's Day

I received an email a couple of days ago and thought of sharing with you...

FOR ALL THE MUMS, 
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 
  
For some of us, we may be biological mothers for our children, but a mother’s roles are greater than this – we can also be emotional mothers and spiritual mothers,  because a mother is one who exhibits loves and cares for others, if you have done this to anyone (adults or children), happy mothers’ day ! 

Awesome Mom 

Before I was a Mom, 
I never tripped over toys 
or forgot words to a lullaby. 
I didn't worry whether or not 
my plants were poisonous. 
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom, 
I had never been puked on. 
Pooped on. 
Chewed on. 
Peed on. 
I had complete control of my mind 
and my thoughts. 
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom, 
I never held down a screaming child 
so doctors could do tests. 
Or give shots. 
I never looked into teary eyes and cried. 
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. 
I never sat up late hours at night 
watching a baby sleep. 

Before I was a Mom, 
I never held a sleeping baby just because 
I didn't want to put her down. 
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces 
when I couldn't stop the hurt. 
I never knew that something so small 
could affect my life so much. 
I never knew that I could love someone so much. 
I never knew I would love being a Mom. 

Before I was a Mom, 
I didn't know the feeling of 
having my heart outside my body.. 
I didn't know how special it could feel 
to feed a hungry baby. 
I didn't know that bond 
between a mother and her child. 
I didn't know that something so small 
could make me feel so important and happy. 

Before I was a Mom, 
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night 
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. 
I had never known the warmth, 
the joy, 
the love, 
the heartache, 
the wonderment 
or the satisfaction of being a Mom. 
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, 


before I was a MOM


I was very moved and touched by these words. Marriage and motherhood has made my life more WHOLE. I've felt more than I thought I could ever feel for another...I've experienced more joy, happiness, challenges, pain and responsibilities.


I thank God for these... 


For all MOTHERS out there, I salute you on this very special day for all your pain and your tears and for making your loved ones so special.

Beautiful morning

We are now into the month of May. Sunrise is much earlier as we approach the middle of the year. By 6.45am, the sky is lightening... the sun ray touching the skies just like a painter touching his paint-dipped brush to the canvas...with swift strokes, transforming the dark to deep pink, vibrant orange and yellow and lightening to pale blue....promising yet another beautiful and bright day!


Staring at the pale blue skies...I can't help feeling a note of optimism that today will be another bright sunny and beautiful day. A smile touches my lips as I go about with my morning routine.


Yes, there's much to get done this week, starting with a healthy breakfast and a cup of soymilk to start my day.
