Today is a weekend. For some people, this means a time for relaxation. The time to have a peaceful rest and savour the quietness of the surrounding. After a hard days work, weekend is the time to put your feet up and forget about the stresful life 'out there'. Some might succumb to their 'own' world and feeding their thoughts with past memories. While some might indulge themselves with melting ice creams and chocolates while watching their favourite movies. Different people spend their weekend differently. To some, weekend means more work. Gardening under the sunlight or simply spring cleaning the whole house which has been neglected. Some will not sit still until something is done. Work from the office will be the companion until the weekdays arrive.
To single people, time is their own friends and enemies. Time can be spent alone, with friends or with families. To parents, time has to be divided wisely between self and children. Especially when your children are still crawling on the floor or cannot find his own shoes or tie his own laces. Time is precious especially when you have people you love. Time will be more meaningful when you have a purpose in life. A direction to follow and a path to walk in everyday. Time will not wait for us. It will not stop to wait for you to say how much you love your children or how much you appreciate what your parents have done for you. Time keeps running and will be constantly moving. We are the ones who manage the time that flies. And how time flies.
It seems yesterday that I see my two little girls drinking milk from the bottles. Trying to learn how to crawl and seeing every single things with great fascination. I always try to see things in their perspective. Everything must have been new and great! To simply be able to catch the ball or simply finishing the drink is a great accomplishment for them. It is sad how we can take things around us for granted sometimes. Children grow up very fast and with a glimpse they will have things they like to do or opinions on their own. While they are young, be with them and spend as much time with them. Watch them grow and listen to them. We might have our dreams and opinions, but what matters in the end is we raise healthy, beautiful, confident children who know what is their purpose of living. Remind them constantly how beautiful they are, how much you like it when they help you with the things around the house or how much you love them no matter what they look like or how they behave. They will always be your children. Do not be afraid to show and tell that you love them. Good deeds will be returned. If we love and shower them with attention and care about their needs, feelings and aspirations, we will shape and mould positive loving adults who is sure of themselves and their directions in life. When they grow up, the love and positivity that we have instilled from young will be bred within themselves. When we bring up positive adults full of love and aspirations, we will have positive leaders and the world will be a better and peaceful place to live in.
I have two beautiful girls whom I love and adore very much. To be able to see them everyday smiling at me kills all the pain or stress of life. When you feel low or need some boost, the hugs that they give me speaks volume of how much love they have for me. I never fail to hug and kiss them everyday. Hugs can decrease the stress level and the heart will be healthier even with a small brief hug. In my situation, the children are my source of inspirations and the main source to keep me going. They are the reasons while I still smile and look forward to life. Still young as they are now, I look forward to a long, healthier life with them. They will start school next year and I look up for the joy and the anticipations to see them learn and go through a new phase of life. Mixing and learning, sharing and arguing will be a part of their learning experiences. My duty is to facilitate them, monitor and advice them if the needs arise. Not to forget to let them grow and find their own niche and support them in whatever they would like to do. Love the children dearly and they will definitely return that love to you. Listen to them and they will listen to you. Shower them with all the love, the scoldings, the advice and the time. And love will never fade or die.
