Those… who bring me energy that never runs out !

Sometimes, not so long ago..
I admired him for his intellectual capacity, his ability to express his ideas and opinion, and his patience in handling stressful person…like me…

Now…
I am admiring him… still for his abilities in elaborating ideas…, still for his patience in dealing with restless me…, and for his willingness to share all kinds of burden…

but more…, now and then…
I deeply admire him for everything he owns..and for any feelings that he keeps in his heart…

For me,
I might not be the best mom in any perspective,
but I do love my children. I got this poem almost 5 years ago, during my time in Australia. Today, I read it again in a friend’s website. It is touching, yet inspiring

Nolte, Dorothy Law (1998) 

“Children Learn What They Live: Parenting to Inspire Values”

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect………

Lets do best for our children and the days to come.

Sometimes, I get mad at them because of simple things…
and then I ask them to forgive me…
Having this, we learnt to say sorry and forgive each other..

Sometimes, I take a look at their eyes to see seas of cheerfulness, love and caring…
and then, I say thank for the happiness that they bring into my life..
Having this, we learnt to thank and appreciate what we have been given by Allah SWT

Sometimes, I get too much overprotective by not letting them doing something dangerous…,
they get disappointed and cry…
Then I ask them to understand my worries
Having this, we learnt to understand each others…

They have made me happy in their own ways…
I do not know much about being the best mom…
I just can try to be a better mom…for them..
I know that I have learnt so much and am still learning from them… day by day..
By understanding them, by letting them expressing what they want, and by positioning my self in their shoes..
