“Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.” – John F. Kennedy
I have always wanted to capture moments that I believe deserve to be remembered. I thought it could help me hold on to those memories because we can’t stay in that moment as long as we want. Eternal bliss is not found in this world where everyone breathing will one day lay to rest.
The world we live in now is pretty much a chaos. From the rising of the sun to its setting down, we all have too many things to do and time is always not on our side. My twitter story is a short 10 tweet long about how my daily grind looks like. To some of you, it may be boring, some may find it interesting and to others, you find it resonates to yours. But whatever the case maybe, its my story.
My day starts with me waking up early, and preparing breakfast for us three. Followed by a tug-of-war with my kids over pillows and blankets when I try to wake them up and get them ready for school and day care. Oh, I’m not complaining, it’s something I look forward to! How can anyone not love these 2 angels? Even if I need to work harder than most people would to be a good provider, I would for these two. They are my source of strength and I love them to the moon and back.
As soon as these angels are out and about, it’s time for me to go to work. I love my job and all the people I work with. I am a professional bookkeeper and I work for Preferred Client Services. I am nothing but thankful to PCS for giving me the opportunity to belong in this family.
And of course, my day pretty much ends with me doing the household chores like preparing dinner for my angels and getting them ready for bed. Oh, by the way, I most often cook for them. Seldom order food because I only want what’s best and of course healthy for my kids. I make sure they know how Filipino food tastes like, too. Its their roots and I want them to know and love it.
When I look at the details of my daily in and out, its less on me and more on my kids. For many, they would probably tell me “give yourself a break!” “Go out, have fun, party!”
Boring, right?
But when I read the whole twitter story thread that I posted, I found myself smiling and felt a surge of happiness and thankfulness in my heart. I realized that the mundane routine I do day in and day out are the very details of my life where I am blessed.
I started my live Twitter story-telling from the moment I woke up at 5:30 AM of a Wednesday morning and each tweet is a highlight of the day. The story comes to full circle with a picture of my family before I tuck my kids to bed.
To all busy working moms who can barely find time to breath, Twitter is a platform for you to tell the world your story. Your story matters!
