Simple Pleasures
I love it when my children ask for more of the dish I cooked. When they mutter “Mmm…” or exclaim “Delicious!,” expect me to fly past cloud 9.
I love hearing my son tell me what happened in school. I love hearing about his latest antics with his classmates, his teachers’ new lectures, and his favorite Mr. Potato Head in his computer class.
I love watching my daughter dance. She does no fancy moves, she just sways her hips and flail her arms. But for me, that is the best dance move ever.
I love it when my husband washes the dishes, when he picks up the kids’ clutter, when he does things around the house. He will insist on doing those things himself even when I tell him I’m fine and he can leave it all to me. I am grateful he insists because I don’t really mean it. I love sitting on the sofa and watching him work.
I love it when my husband and I realize we have been thinking about the same thing, and that happens often. Like this morning, I wanted him to buy puto which is being sold only during mornings. But I forgot to tell him about my craving when he left to bring my son to school. I couldn’t call him because he also forgot to bring his mobile phone. And then he got home, and showed a bag of puto for me.
I love simple memes like these, because it makes me pause and think about my life. I realize that my life is so simple but full of love and happiness, and I thank the heavens for my good fortune.
Aw, this is so sweet Cess. The first three simple pleasures are the things that working moms miss seeing and experiencing with their children. Priceless memories
Thanks and see you later.
Go na sa iyong stylist, hehe…

Aaah, this was sooo soothing to read. Di nga! Parang narelax ako sa pagbabasa nito. It probably reflects the happy state you are in.
It really doesn’t take much to be happy, does it?

the simple pleasures must really not be missed, we have to catch the right moment when they come. we really do not have to wait for the big moments. and they do warm the heart and give us joy.

Ang babaw lang daw ng kaligayahan nating mga nanay talaga. Si Josh nga sabihin nya, “Mama, can you cook sopas today? Kasi ang sarap ng luto mo eh.” Eh di ang nabolang nanay luto agad..hehehe.

Its almost uncanny most of the things that pleasure you please me too .. especially the puto (from Calasiao, right?) though I prefer mine with kutsinta and plenty kinayod na niyog.
