lessons learned

in two weeks' time, i'd be older by another year.

nothing much has changed since last year. i'm still a stay-at-home mom of a very active toddler. i still get to cook daily meals and receive stamps of approval from the hubby and jackjack. i still get paid with tight hugs and sloppy kisses, not that i'm complaining.

in two weeks' time, i'd be older by another year. did i learn anything new?

i learned that...
...friends may not be around as much as you'd like them to, but that doesnt mean they dont care about you.

...time and children can ruin your looks and body shape, but friends can still recognize you, even if you last saw each other during high school graduation.

...a child's smile can make all the bad things fade away, even for a moment.

...it's okay to admit that you are depressed for no reason sometimes.

...you are not the only mother with a very active child that tries your patience for most of the day, everyday.

...if playing games on facebook is the only thing that's holding your sanity, then it's okay to play and you dont have to be guilty about it.

...if you cant relate to the weekly writing prompts, you dont have to stress about having to write a blog post.

...you are not alone. somewhere out there, someone will always be willing to listen.

...there is such a thing as a virtual hug, and it can make a person feel better as much as a real-life hug.

...that sometimes, virtual hugs are all what it takes to save a person's life.
