I thank God for you!


“I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me...” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince



I looked at the mirror, feeling all the confidence in the world.
I looked at the mirror, loving myself,
I looked at the mirror, seeing who I really I am.

Funny, but not too long ago...
I didn't feel the same...
I felt insecure and unloved...

BUT

I handled it well...
So it didn't show...

THAT IS WHY

I thank God for you..
because you made me feel beautiful! :)

"Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

    I rarely pick up a book and read it from start to finish and the book The Little Prince is one those those rare moments. I love that book to bits that I have read it three times.

    I think Antoine's words can apply to our mothers as well, except that they're the flowers that showered us with their love. And she could be that person looking back at us from the mirror. She made us beautiful, not just feel beautiful. :) Happy mothers day! (oh, actually I dunno if it's also mothers day in the US, but it is here in Pinas.)

    This reminds me of all the moms , they always protect us and shower us with their love, if possible they won't let any harm done to us. Their maternal instinct is always there and they will love us unconditionally.

    Sometimes, we have to sacrifice something
    important and significant in our lives to
    give happiness to others. Being selfless is noble.

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
