Many women I know, have always dreamed of being mothers; I, on the other hand did not spent my youth mothering other children or even imagining I will be a mum one day. I had no idea what my future held but I was sure education and a career were part of the plan.
So to my surprise, I was quite taken by the feelings surrounding me after the birth of both my girls.
As a mother, I believe parenting is the most complex and demanding work. Parenting does not have a destination and it is full of positive and negative, times of joy and exhilaration, also times of despair and complete unknowing. It is an enormous responsibility, however, the most rewarding.
I continuously give my best to provide for my girls’ physical and emotional needs, to comfort and guide them. Attitude, views, goals, perspective on life, I feel, depends on what they learn from both their father and I.
My girls did not come with a manual or set of instructions, however, in my case they did bring out the very best in me and most important the child in me. They have certainly changed my attitude towards life and through them I have learned more about my self; so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for making me feel like:
I, besides their father, am the most important and at certain times the only person in the world…. “As long as you’re here mum, we are happy.”
I’m the most beautiful, talented and smart woman, afterall who knows better!?…. “Mum, you’re lucky! You’re smart and beautiful at the same time.” Hmmmm!!!
I’m the sunshine that never fades away…. “Mum you keep the dark away.”
My eyes are their mirror…. “Oh my God mum, I can see my self in your eyes!”
I’m a hero in every shape or form…. “Don’t worry, Mum is here and she wouldn’t let anything happen to us.”
My love is a gift…. “Not interested in a big present mum. Your love is the best gir, but if you’re interested to know an iPod touch I wouln’t mind!!!!”
I’m not simply a working mother, but a working miracle….“I love my mum because she does everything for me and my sister and daddy and other people.”
My voice is the sweetest sound…. “I like when you read to me mum, you’re voice makes me fall asleep.”
When I kiss, my heart speaks…. “I like when mum gives me big kisses, because they show how much she loves me”.
My hugs are a safety net…. “Hug me mum, I’m scared!”.
I feel a mother’s love is the child’s net, but, a child’s love is the mother’s world…. her world!
Were would I bee without my family has never been my query, how would I be without my family has though!! My family is everything to me, my world itself, a world that I ardour… a world in which I am honored and delighted to be part of.

Times have changed, and as we all know the Internet has created new ways of human interaction through social networking sites, instant messaging and Internet forums. It could be the reason why most of us no longer think dating is an unusual way to meet a prospective new romantic partner. After all, millions of potential mates are just a click away.
Yes, the Internet does allow us to make contact and communicate with one another. We now have the opportunity to make friends with incredible people around the world and even become closer to former acquaintances.
I have definitely made friends online, which am grateful for. I am experiencing different cultures, different believes, different lifestyles that otherwise I might not have. These are people that I admire and consider myself very lucky to have met.
However, online dating, in my books, is far from a realistic life experience. How can a romantic relationship become, if not lived in the real world with real distractions. What about a person’s mannerisms, flaws…. Even in regular circumstances, physical chemistry, regardless of looks, is an important part of a relationship. Can those characteristics be seen online along with the sweet notions?
Let’s face it, online dating is nowhere near an in person encounter. Well, what I’m trying to say is, it’s the everyday life experience, whether good or bad, which in this case keeps you apart. Online you’re focused on that certain someone; meaning you could be falling in love with an online persona, in which case, expectations can lead to great disappointment.
While finding a mate online for some people is the only way, the concept of love may not be as concrete as it appears. People need an anticipated face to face meeting to see their many ’profiles’ whether it’s their best or worst, not just the best one they want to put forward.
The environment of the Internet is a temptation, which I believe, certain individuals need to simply feel in control of their future; no matter of the potential risks and agonizing experience.
Moreover, how deep can lovers be online? The build up of excitement can at times make people say things they don’t mean and later realize they don’t actually feel that way at all. Talk about getting your feelings, behaviours and time spent in a relationship out of sync. Very unrealistic feelings, if you ask me.
Love is a natural drive as powerful as life itself. Romance usually implies an expression of one’s love, or one’s emotional desires to connect with another person. The real danger of Internet dating is harmful and will creep up on you before you know it and may be trapped by the illusion.
Has old fashioned dating become so unfamiliar that we are now willing to live without all those interesting person to person experience, without that first meeting, without the impulsiveness? I will never forget the night I met my husband, but most of all I will never forget the way he first looked at me, his eyes said it all; and our storyline, is one I often share with our kids.
Once again, it is a wonderful way for people to connect with other who share same interests. As for a romantic relationship, I strongly believe it requires much more attention and satisfaction than just turning a computer on! To me, such quick and accessible intimacy doesn’t seem real or in some cases normal.
Though being a long time skeptic on this matter, I do have to say, every situation is different.

Saint Valentine’s Day (commonly shortened to Valentine’s Day) is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other…
I, on the other hand, believe the love between two people should not be subjected to just one day of the year, but celebrated every day! Frankly, the thought of acting on such affection only once a year is terrifying. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them….
Two friends were walking through the desert and during some time of the journey, they had an argument; and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand, “Today my best friend slapped me in the face!”
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath….
The one who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire! and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone, “Today my friend saved my life!”
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”
The friend replied, “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand, where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.
