Snapshot of the Day

Sometimes our kids might drive us crazy with their behaviours. But some time, they can also perform the most inspiring action that make you feel so happy. Today, one of these situations occurred. I was about to read my book during lunch time at work, when I notice a peculiar small piece of paper slided between the pages like a bookmark. When I opened the page, I got a surprise to see one of the small card my son had made before for my birthday with a short message that says: I love you dad.
That was it, the perfect gift anyone can have in your day. You can’t help to feel so happy and grateful for what you have. My kids are the source of inspiration that fuels me when things are not going in the right direction. I couldn’t stop thinking about not only him but my whole family for the rest of the day.
A book mark not only help you find where you were the last time you were reading a book, but this particular one also help me to remember what are the most important thing in life.

Once in a while you experience those one of a kind moments where you can remember so vividly the experience. Curiously, these kind of the experience are usually the simplest one, but the one with more long lasting impact in ourself. I was sitting in our daily kitchen table with my older son looking at his classroom picture taken this year and going through all his classmates.

I was asking him some questions like their names and their backgrounds. The conversation started to turn very interesting with all different kind of questions I was asking him and all the answers he was giving me. I could feel a close connection during this short period of time. It was about for him to go to sleep, but my son wanted to continue talk about their friends so we continue for another 10 minutes when we decided it was time to stop.

I just realized that, kids like any other persons, want some attention and quality time to share together. And even a simple conversations like we had, make them feel important and loved. An enlightening moment and a very beautiful one.

Interesting question and interesting answers which tell us a little bit more about ourself. Sometime what we wish for, are the most simplest things on life. Sometime what someone else wishes for are things we take it for granted.
