I never have imagined that the day would come that I would be able to buy a jeep car (of course that comes along with a jeep car cover) for myself at this age. Am I just lucky or the universe really conspiring to grant me one of my wishes? Now I really do believe that dreams do come true. You really have to believe, no matter how impossible it may seem, that there’s a slight chance that you might get what you want. You just have to put it out there and let the cosmic force help you get what you want. Well in my case, having my dream car.

I remember I just used to look this jeep car on the internet and on the car show that I have been into and see myself on a dreamy state. It is one of those things that I really long for just like any other girls long for diamonds. Up until now I really couldn’t pin point why I love that car. It just likes some kind of deep seated emotional or childhood issues. But I don’t want to know about it now because as much as I want to know the reason behind this entire epic dream of mine I’d rather focus on the good and positive stuff.

It is a nice feeling to get want you want no matter how long you have to wait. This is what makes life worth living for no matter how corny that may sound.

It is easy to lose your cool when you have to be “on” all the times. Single parent have no one to trade off with they they’re about to lose marble over yet another bowl of peas thrown on their floor. Do not yell, because it is not healthy for their child and you regret it afterward. Instead, walk away and count from one to ten, or just laugh it off. You feel better in a minute and ready to face the peas.

One of the perks of having a friend within the same circle is you know what to get them on their birthday, just like I am getting my friend voodoo labs from musicians friend for his birthday on Sunday. Yeah, all my friends are a musician not collectively though but we all are into music. I guess I am just lucky enough to have gathered friends that share the same interest and passion about music. Sure there is some downside to it but the upsides really outnumbered it. It is one the things that I am very grateful for in my life, I am surrounded by people whom like me, likes music.

Bond of mother and child is one of unconditional love, but compare to other relationship the mother-child one can become strained or distant because of past events, lifestyle choices and unavoidable factor like distance. However, there are some things you do to help closer relationship with your mother. They can be done at the appropriate pace for your relationship, take your time and work to build the close bond that you are seeking.

QUALITY TIME – spend quality time with your mother is you live in the same area to build and keep closer your relationship.

CLEARLY COMMUNICATION – as you age, your relationship with you mother will inevitably change, the mother who once made your breakfast and did your laundry takes different role in your life, one that is more like a friend and confidant than caretaker.

ASK QUESTIONS – it can be hard for a children to truly understand that their mother are people just like them, it make sense, because your whole life your mother took care of you and went out of her way to make you feel better without trying to burden you with her problems.

ACCEPT THE FLAWS – everybody has some flaws in their personality, you and your mother and everyone else in the world. It is entirely possible that your mother does things that bother you and seem unnecessary.

Since I will be attending a yoga class for the first time next month I am all excited about anything that has something to do with it including these gifts for yoga lovers that I have found over the internet. It is too early to categorize myself as a yoga lover but I really feel that I will be. So I am already excited to know that there is shop like this that specializes on yoga stuff that yoga lovers like. Hopefully I find friends on my yoga class and maybe give them something from this shop. That would be amazing.

All of us not perfect, then letting your children know that you are also a human, you’re teaching them to forgive, as you forgive them. Our children sometimes tell us if they are truly loved, it’s not measured by how many hours are spent with them or if you were tired that day and lost your cool. Children measured only by how much money you can spend on them.

Although children already know that you are not perfect. Also they know how much you love them, you can’t fool a child, they are spirit like you and I. They are the most honest people on the earth. Believe me, they are honest and will forgive your mistakes, please forgive yourself. No one of us has ever been a perfect parent, not ever. If you love yourself, then you forgive yourself.

Remember this poet wrote by Irish Playwright:

“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”

So if you love yourself, then forgive yourself, which is another lesson your child will pick up from you, it’s win, win the situation! So be cool and relax, bask in the fullness of your reciprocal love with your child.
