Mommy Talk

              How do i start writing every single thought that comes to mind? With so many mixed emotions considering the mixed roles I play in life, I somehow do not know where to start. 

              I am a wife and a mother first and foremost. This is one of the many endearing and rewarding roles i get to play in life. I like being a wife because after so many years of being single, i finally know to whom i am coming home to. Being married late in life has taught me to cherish this role because not everyone is given an opportunity to spend a life with someone.  It may not all be a smooth path to take, but being a wife has taught and still teaching me to relate with another and consider another’s thoughts and actions in almost everything that i do.

               The most rewarding role by far is my being a mom. Being a mom to two equally beautiful daughters at a rather late age, is more than a dream come true. Up until now I can’t seem to fully comprehend the goodness that God has given to me.  In the eyes of my two daughters i find a joy deeper than any sense of happiness I may have expereinced in the past. I stare at them day in and day out and all I can do is be grateful for this miracle. 

              Establishing a career and running a family at thesame time is tough.  My work maybe the only comfortable zone i knew in my more than 10 years of single blessedness and mixing both responsibilities is never easy. But who said life will be smooth? I guess for life to be meaningful, one has to go through failures to achieve and fully experience the true meaning of success. One has to go through a pains to appreciate joy and one has to know how to struggle to experience a fulfilled life.

              Life is short indeed and life is good.
