Cherish the moments
So, there was not going to be a blog post for the next 60 days so that I can concentrate on my book, but darn it! I have always been a very creative person, and I feel like there is not enough time in a day or outlets in my life to let it all out! I want to dance, sing, paint, write all sorts of books on all kinds of topics, I also like business and psychology and I am fascinated by people and life in general. I love my city and want to photograph every street light, every brick, every step, absolutely everything....
SO anyway, today I just feel like I have this boiling emotion inside me that wants to erupt, I get this pretty much on a daily basis but sometimes -like today it is overwhelming! Today I am extra thankful and happy to be alive but mainly and mostly, to be a parent.
GAWD, being a parent is the most amazing, indescribable feeling ever, and let me share a secret; being a SINGLE parent is actually quite fantastic, the intensity of happiness is out of this world. Obviously its not easy doing it all alone, it can get very stressful, hectic and you might feel like your head will fall off, that your heart will stop beating, that the sky will fall and break your every bone BUT despite those moments of complete loneliness and sadness, life as a single mother is amazing in more ways than one, and will share those in a future post.
Tonight I was reminded of how blessed I am not only for being a parent but for being a single mother in Canada. What an amazing country to be in and how incredibly blessed I am with the ability to enjoy my children with literally no worries about walking outside, a roof over our heads and food on the table.
I was mostly touched to the core by a simple moment when at St. Anthony's church tonight my daughter was enjoying the music so much that she got teary eyed and said "This is such a beautiful song" and as she kept enjoying her moment, in that same moment my 21 month old son grabbed my face and pressed it against his as much as he could and just held me there while I held my daughters hand and took in that wonderful moment in time. So much joy and love.
I just had to share this with you all, and may it remind you, that we are not here forever, and your kids, parents, friends, siblings need to know how you feel about them, take a moment not only to tell them but show them just how you feel.
Turn off that television, put down your phone, turn off the computer and ENJOY your loved ones and the moments you have with them, take it all in, really just STOP, look around, listen, feel, take a deep breath... do it NOW... take-a-deep-breath and listen and feel ---- wow, isn't this life amazing? Forget your worries, forget your work, forget it all and just cherish and truly enjoy these moments!!
Truly embrace EVERY moment of your life cause everything can change in a blink of an eye.
Thankful and blessed,
Ana
