The Power of Towel

I'm grateful to have a good relationship with my mother in-law. I always can call her anytime when I need help. Last week, I got sick, my daughter had serial  vomiting, from Friday to Sunday, and of course throwing up can't be predicted so, I would grab anything close by to wipe the yucky stuff..LoL.

So, the most part of those days, I kept an eye to my princess and doing laundry from time to time. Finally I called my lovely mom in-law, I knew that she has old towel collection. ...lol. She came right away, with big bag of clean and fragrance old towels, big and small....I was happy, because some of my old towels still in the dryer. I ended   up not using them all, but I would keep them. There's always good thing when we think about old way to handle a sick kid, and then I got sick too. And the most important was not the thing we have but the 'love' and good connection especially with the family member that we treasure. Thank God.

Great Morning

                                             lovely orchid from mom in-law

I felt great when I woke up this morning, compared to last night when I suffered massive headache, well...it's more hormonal problem every cycle, it didn't always happen, but when it happen..boy oh boy...it's freaking headache.

I enjoyed my orchid that surprisingly bloom again since I got it from my mother in-law last year hhmm I believe on mother's day, so it's almost a year. I put it close to the window and with the heater under the window pane on the wood floor, it created warm air when I turn on the heater, so the orchid must thank me, because she thought like in a deep forest in Indonesia which plenty of rain and sunshine...Lol.

I set my alarm now at 4AM to check if it's too cold and I would turn on the heater, otherwise my daughter and me (sometimes) will sneeze couple of times. And the fabulous thing happen every time my black berry alert me after the alarm on was text message or email from my beau...who now on duty which 3 hours different time in the East coast.

I't amazing how our relationship growing and evolving so naturally, I thank God and grateful everyday of the joys He has been pouring into our hearts. Okay, I have to resist the urge to go around telling everyone about this because some things are meant to keep to myself.

Whatever the dream is, whatever that God-given desire is, hold it close to you. Ponder it on the inside and let it between you and God. Trust that at the right time, He'll bring it to pass because He loves you and desires His best for you. Happy Morning.

it's a long day

Father, may I never forget your many blessings. Come, Lord, and fill my heart with praise and gratitude.

It was a long day, today. Woke up in the morning, prepare to take Grace to her routine check at nearby clinic, back home, then soon after prepare to go to school,...back home I wrote a letter while having my lunch with curry soup, then get ready again to pick my daughter up from school....well she only attend PM montessori pre-school for 2 1/2 hours. So I had to juggle 'some' things in a short time. Then I had to attend parents meeting at 6:30....which I did it, thank to my mom in-law who got back home in time from short vacation.

I try to enjoy this because soon when she's in kindergarten, she'll be all day in school and I'll miss her.

Finally when I got home, I felt hungry, enjoyed my spaghetti a la Sicillia, it's my daughter's fave. And then my 'before bed shake' which is mix of banana, dates, cashew and water...well should be with almond milk, I run out of it. 

Ooh dear, I'm ready to snooze now, will snooze happily....xoxoxo...'cause I had a chance a little bit to chat with my...beau!..thank God.

Sleepless in Tacoma

been a while, am sorry my dear blog...so eager to manage my house and my 4 year old little lady. Exhausted, but I'm grateful with the amazing thing happen in my life lately, it's part of my pray to God, asking all the goodness of Him flowing into my life.

When I look back into my life, I feel incredibly lucky, I don't need to complain. I lost my mom who died of lung cancer, I was beside my husband in his last breath battling with colon cancer. In the minutes he died, right away I asked God for big entertainment for me and my daughter. We cried, because we're just normal human being, we're sad, because we love him so much! but I never stop believing the goodness of God. When you ask God and ordinary thing, you will get just ordinary thing, but when you ask the extra ordinary, you will get the extra ordinary things. That's why since I was kid, I was always a big dreamer. That's why I said I'm lucky because I was able to let go of the unfair past, moved forward and....smile to the world.

I believe in God, and I become extremely aware that even the impossible thing you can't think about will happen and usually beyond your expectation when you're in deep faith.

I love this lent season, not because I love Friday fish day, but because it's the best time to review our self that there always something to be grateful in any circumstance. I reached my milestone as a mother of young child, I am proud of myself, I don't need to worry about when my daughter become teenager, she will be okay, I keep praying for her, God will guide me, God will pour me with all His goodness. ..be happy!
