songs of my spirit...

so much for wanting to write everyday.

it's been three days now since we move here in the hotel. have finished packing at last. but this is just temporary, so we'll be packing and moving again soon.

it's been a week since my last new post. anyways, nothing much happened. same things i am thankful for. additional was that i'm thankful that we were able to move in time and no major battle hahaha...

- i made it on my own without a single meltdown the whole day until the boys are asleep coz the dadi went bowling...

- good health.

- good weather.

- good turn-up in packing last night.

- just finished my long relaxing shower.

:-D

this is really for today...

- yes! i got to write a blog today. (meaning i had a ME TIME for this one)

- everyone is healthy.

- regained my energy to resume packing.

- didn't have a major meltdown with sebastian.

(for september 7, 2008)

- everyone is healthy.

- we managed to hear the mass on time despite my late waking up due to super tiredness the night before.

- dadi and i rekindled in the afternoon (so relaxing).

- got to sleep early and take a break from packing.

(for september 6, 2008)

- everyone is healthy.

- we pulled of a sweet surprise baby shower for a friend.

- we (dadi & i) managed the day (& the event) without arguing.

(this is for September 5, 2008)

- i am now 33

- i am healthy and so is my family

- i received a new book from my hubby (Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert)

- we didn't have any big argument today after all the stress of cleaning and packing for the impending move.

- my boys are happy

at 33...

i feel fullfilled.

i feel complete.

i am happy.

i made a pact with myself...
now that i have two beautiful kids and loving husband to take care of 24/7 (which i have no regrets or complains doing...), i have to have at least 1 hour of "ME TIME" each day to recharge and get things together inside me.
the purpose -- is for me to be a more nurturing mother, and affectionate wife.

the way i see to do it is not an hour straight to do things but a few minutes to spend on series of things i would like to do:

1. pray and meditate anytime i can.

2. long, relaxing bath/shower, time permits that hubby is home so that kids are taken care of.

3. write a journal. or in this modern times write a blog. but i intend to do every single day. not necessarily long ones. you'll see...

4. read. a good book or circular.

5. walk. weather permits.

these are just the major things i wanna do in my "ME TIME" that if i can do all in everyday is a blessing...

... or should i say additional blessing, because for me everyday that i wake up and see my kids and husband is already a big blessing.
