I wake up every morning to the sounds of crying baby reaching out to my chest with eyes closed, and open mouth…Sometimes i just lift him up and look at him and see him move his head from side to side looking for his mama’s milk and i can’t help myself but smile, that is my Eli. He is now eight months old and he knows his mama very well. Tonight i surprised him. I came home early from work and that little boy was on the floor crawling like a little army trainee on the ground but still fast enough to reach me, and of course trying to keep up with his big brother Julian. I scoop him up from the floor, while Julian hugs me, and i give them both kisses…There is nothing to descrive that feeling and that moment as what i call my Daily Blessings.
For me it is my children, my family, my inner joy. I believe you have your own moments too.
I still wake up at night and sit by my boys and watch them sleep, and as a mother a lot go through your mind. You want all that is great for them, and you worry about everything about them. When they are safely sleeping, this is when i am able to even rub their backs and their little feets, their hands and just give them even more little kisses on their cheeks. When they are peacefully sleeping, it is when i let it sink in that these two little gifts are truly my Daily Blessings.
It is funny watching my own husband sleeping on the couch right now, and yes he reminds me so much of our two boys. I am seeing a lot of resemblance especially in Julian, i guess it is not a surprise they are conencted and will always be part of each other’s lives. I see the bond and love they share every day and i can’t help but recognize and thank God for all this and more, as i know it is truly a blessing. My children. My husband. My family. Good health, and joyful moments.
Take time daily and reflect on your own blessings.
Enjoy the week. Good night!

Thank you. Motherhood does grow on you. You wake up everyday with a lot more on your mind, a lot more to look forward too, and it does bring lots of great happy moments. I feel very complete, at the moment, in my life.

ofcoz i wil, but then do u think there are right time for marrying? some say the matter is the right person dont you think so?

I think finding the right person is definitely a good start, but so is the timing. You can’t just get married because you are madly in love with someone, but you are like 15 years old and still in school, dependent of your parents, never been on your own, or able to take care of yourself yet.
There are people that may disagree with me, and say as long as you are in love you can definitely get married, but that is not enough. I think one should at least be at an age where you have completed school, have a job or a certain skill that would enable you to support yourself financially. If the man you are marrying is filthy rich, well that is another story, however it won’t hurt to have something of your own, too.
So, yes when the timing is right and you have the right man in front of you… I would say, go for it.
When you get married, you literally give up the me for the we, the I for Us. You can’t just come in and go as you please, you can’t just make all the decisions anymore, and when you add children in the picture, life will definitely take a turn. Things will change and so is your relationship with your spouse. No one taught me how to balance the whole time/relationship thing…but i can tell you this, with the right man by your side and it being the right time for both of you, all the ups and downs, the shakeups and good times will all be lived through and you emerge a stronger and happier couple.
