I played hide and seek today!
Yeah, it sounds flat I know. Because every mom probably does so.
But you know what made it a hundred times better today?
We played with a group of six. Two of my niece and nephew, my son, me, and my mom all played it together. It was not a planned event. I enjoyed it so much, I'm blessed to have this day.
My niece, nephew, and my son were playing in my parent's home, and we were watching them and gossiping. Later one of my cousin brothers came and join us. They were seeking help from us about where should they hide and asked where others are hiding so they can find them easily. We were already half involved with them so decided to join. And believe me, it was so fun.
I can guarantee I didn't laugh in a while so pure like today.
After we had enough fun, we took a break and had some refreshing drinks. While relaxing I and my brother talked about how we used to play hide and seek in my maternal grandparent's house. Oh, that was a huge house. It was too difficult to find someone. We used to search for someone for even hours!
One incident came to our mind and that is, one time my brother hide over a tree. The guava tree was so thick and huge and I never felt the necessity to look up. we searched for hours but didn't succeed. Then he popped down out of nowhere and scared us all.
Those are some precious memories!
As I have said, I laughed so loud, I felt so happy after so many days; my soul healed. I have shared earlier I was going through some issues and was not feeling good for almost the last two years. It was difficult for me to cope and still, I'm struggling daily to make myself feel happy and motivated.
Today's event will sure add a wonderful core memory that I will cherish and talk about for a long time.
Not only that, when our kids saw we joined them they were so happy and excited. I'm sure we managed to add something great to their life too.
It's so simple, right? But so meaningful! I wish I could multiply more events like this so I can find my inner self, my inner child, and be happy again. All I needed was this little boost to turn around to live and be positive about everything.
I'm blessed to have this day.
