Hello hive friends! It's always good to wake up to a refreshing beautiful morning view in the province. The amazing sunrise slowly showing up and whispers "Maayong buntag!" with the harmonious dawn chorus of birds, is an invitation for a quick morning walk.
Time to roll out from bed and stretch those muscles and indulge yourselves to listen to the beautiful melody that nature is playing in the breaking of the dawn. To be able to move your feet for that morning walk is already a privilege because not everyone gets to wake up the next morning. So consider yourself lucky to be blessed to get up from your bed every day.
And a lot more privileged if you get to do it with your dear mother. And these are one of the beautiful things I am always grateful to God for every day. As we were walking, and seeing all the wonderful things along the way, I'm glad I got the rare chance of slowing down my pace. To live exactly in that moment, and appreciate nature at its finest. And appreciating also the one who is giving me company during that walk, Mama, and all the beautiful things she is to me.
Dear Mama, And when I see you, it was magically amazing just how a simple glimpse of you and a gentle hug from you saying "It's alright dear" could instantly alter all the pain I was feeling then. And up until now, you will always be that same person I will always look up to no matter how tall I have grown. The same beautiful sunrise I will always take a glimpse of a brighter side, whenever my life is clouded with worries and fear. The cheerful chirping of the birds. Dear Mama, A sip of morning coffee. Dear Mama, The beautiful sight of flowers along the way. Your delicately beautiful petals are my strength to face the new adventures of every day. You are always that beautiful blossom that I see along the roads that makes me want to continue stepping forward and see more of your awesome blooms along the road. Thank you for always reminding me that our petals may fall due to destructive winds or be picked carelessly by any passerby, but continue to bloom, and bloom beautifully. I wanted you to know that you will always be that flower that makes me believe that despite it all, this life is still beautiful. And now that I am already a mother, I now clearly understand why you did all those amazing things to me. I wish I could be like you. To be able to guide my daughter as she walks through this life, in the same way, that you have beautifully shown me.
The sunrise.
You were my first glimpse of that beautiful sunrise when my life was just dawning. Your brilliant ray of sunshine has warmly embraced me and shattered the coldness of my seemingly long and scary nights. You have spread the light, illuminating my foggy dawn, paving the way for a brand new morning, and letting me discover all the beautiful things this life has to offer. Your vitamin D of tender-loving care has nurtured my fragile bones to be able to withstand all of life's challenges. I remember when I was young, whenever I got my knees wounded, the first person I always look for to cry to was you.
Your voice is music to my ear. Yes, it has always been. Like those cheerful chirping of the birds in the early dawn, you always have the power to brighten up the messy atmosphere whenever I found myself waking up on the wrong side of the bed. A harmonic reminder for me to smile because "it's just a bad morning", " not a bad life". You are the melody that gently plays in my troubled mind always saying "Everything is going to be alright, Anak!" and never fails to lift me as high as those birds soar.
You are the tantalizing aroma of morning coffee to me. Whenever I am down, you are the strong and distinct smell of freshly brewed coffee that has the power to wake up all my senses and go on with life. And amazing how a single sip of it is all that I needed to fuel me throughout the day. Thank you for being that perfect cup of sweet coffee to me and I swear, your scent will always be my favorite.
Dear Mama,
When my life was just starting like a bud, you watered me with love and care for me to grow and bloom into a stunning flower.
