Dear Choo Wei/Mei Yin/Siaw Ling/Juan2/Hwa Siew/Yen/Choon Er/Ying/Seow Ling,
As i stumbled upon this blog of my friend cum customer, i thought of u all. :)
Adelyn;s blog: http://lovengratitude.blogspot.com/
As an ex-working mother, i must say i 'regretted' not having 'enough' time for my elder one.
Now thinking back the time spent with her when she was 3-6 yrs old, i must say it was quite blank.... except for some 'rushing', 'rushing' and 'rushing' and endless 'rushing' time for everything and anything.
It touched my heart to see my friend's words on:
"I am deeply grateful to be given this time to slow down, smell the roses and peer at the earthworms in the grass."
This morning as i was 'cangkul'ing the soil to move my corn to bigger patch, we saw a big slimy earthworm moving around. My 5 yr old told me, if we cut it into 2 will it become 2 cacing? I said i dont know. And then i moved the tomato tree to bigger patch...hoping i can turn my little garden into Cameron.... Just praying that red tomato, no matter how small it will be, will start blooming, coz it was my 5 yr old who planted the tomato in the pot earlier. I was ever so glad to have that no-rushing moment of peace. But looking back at my elder 8 yr old, she was just looking down at us as she is still preparing for her school exam tomorrow.
No high expectation on her, but if there was more time spent when she was younger, how i wished i could give her more moment like this.
We got some tadpoles back from Bodhi Heart today, going to plant some lotus to keep them tomorrow. :)
Nothing much here, just thought, as mothers, perhaps you may be curios over other people lives as much i do. :)
Have a blessed day!
--- Living in the present moment is the happiest moment. :)
with joy & metta, Sin Dee
