My Favorite Time of the Day

My Favorite Time of the Day

Who does not love mornings? Mornings are there to remind us of how each and everyone of us is blessed. We may not have all the things in life, but what is most amazing is that mornings mean another day to live, another day to fulfill our duties, and another way of knowing that God loves us so much.

I love mornings because I get to see my children–Joshua, Kate, and Jasper, as well as my husband, sleeping soundly while I prepare their breakfast. I love how I prepare bacon and egg and throw a couple of bread in the toaster while I mix their milk or juice. As for me, I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the coffee maker and some slice of bread to start off my day.

Aside from these, I love how mornings give me the energy to start my day with so much ardor and enthusiasm. When I see the sunlight entering our house’s window pane, it reminds me of the convenient and comfortable life we have. This also give me the ample time to sit down and write my thoughts as well as my to-do list. I am also currently finishing my blog, and is navigating a website builder to help me in the design. In the morning, listing everything I need to do the whole day lets me do a lot more work and fulfill them all in a day.

We all have a reason why we are happy, and one of it is because mornings give me the energy for the day.

How about you, what is your most favorite part of the day? Let me know your thoughts!

Quote of the Day

Happiness is not a destination. It’s a way of life.

 

This is one of my most favorite quotes. Yes, happiness is indeed not something you want to reach, like an end goal or a mission. Happiness is not an ambition or a dream. You do not live everyday hoping that one day you will be happy.

Happiness is a way of life. It should be within you everyday. They said that a happiness should come from within. If there is something that made your day a tad glum, choose to be happy and appreciate how things are not meant to be. Realize that all things are there for a reason. Do not let something be a reason for you not to smile because life and short.

Choose to be happy everyday. Eliminate different negativity in your life and focus only on what makes you happy. It can be your partner, you friend, your family, or your kids. It may be your passion, or your dream. Hold on to what makes you happy and you will never go wrong.

 

A New Addition To The Family

A New Addition To The Family

I just came home from my son’s piano lessons three blocks away from our house. As I was driving around the second block, I saw a stray dog walking along the pavement. My son Joshua also saw him and pleaded if we could pull over. I saw how Josh looked tearg eyes when he saw the dog. The creature looked very tiny. He seemed to be hungry too but was very week.I decided to carry him and I put him in the empty basket just beside my son.

When we returned home, I saw how Joshua looked to concerned about the dog. I gave him his snack and place some milk for the dog in the counter. After two hours, he still seemed to be very weak. I called Nancy, my cousin, and asked her what to do with the puppy. She said we should go to a veterinarian so check out the puppy’s health.

Good thing there is a veterinary clinic in the nearby area in Rotterdam. Joshua came with me. The veterinarian said the puppy must have been missing for a couple of days now and it seemed like he has not eaten any decent meal for the past few days.

The veterinarian Dr. Mark gave us prescription and we bought some food and medicines for the tired looking dog. When we come back home, Joshua seemed so delighted to give him food. He even skipped playing at the backyard so he can attend to the poor dog’s need.

Looks like we have a new addition in the family today. I am sure Kate and my husband John will be very surprised.

Show some love!

So, I decided that I was going to buy my man a nice new watch for him to wear on his wrist. I started searching for the best watches under 500, and it did not take me long to find one that I thought was absolutely perfect for my man. It was well priced, and extremely stylish, and completely fell in line with his hopes and dreams when it comes to his fashion sense, which he doesn’t always know how to achieve, but he does know how to articulate how he wants to look. What better role for a wife to turn that into a reality, even though he is sometimes too stubborn to accept my suggestions. That’s just how men are I guess, and you have to love your man.

I stand by my man, despite so much stubbornness, and it always ends up going pretty well for me. However, I didn’t think that the watch was enough, and for my last gift he had bought me something that was extremely expensive, he got us tickets to a really nice weekend retreat, which did benefit him as well, but I felt awkward spending so little on him in comparison. We have a lot more money than we used to, and birthdays are a good way to show our appreciation, and when I was holding the watch I just thought it felt a little bit small.

So, I decided that I would also buy him a little something extra, and I went to my favorite site for reviews on outdoor gear, which is always prove me well in the past, it’s called Survival Cooking— basically it’s just a hub of extremely well written reviews on camping and other outdoor supplies. I know that it’s weird to say that I love you as well written, but damn. These are some very helpful reviews for wives like me who want to get their husband something, but don’t really know what they’re talking about or doing. Thank you survival cooking for being an amazing resource.
