MICAI IS CURRENTLY READING... "WAKE" by LISA MCMANN

I was in wonderland a few days ago. Well, a bookstore is definitely a clear definition of a magical place for me. =) I almost don't want to leave the place...I'd pick up one book and minutes later, I was in total confusion on what book to get. Those are one of the moment I wish I have all the money in the world to buy all the books I love. =(

I picked out this book since this one can hardly be found in any of the bookstores I went to. I was just a little dismayed since it's a little bit thinner than I'd expected and I know it would only take a couple of hours for me to finish this book.

R. has been reprimanding me lately of my book splurges. I need to hold the reins for a while... So I have no choice but to read this one before I go to sleep each night....

QUOTE OF THE DAY...

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!

A LOVELY POEM BY MS. MARY RITA SCHILKE KORZAN FOR HER DEAR MOM...

When you thought I wasn't looking,

You hung my ﬁrst painting on the refrigerator,
And I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
You fed a stray cat,
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
You baked a birthday cake just for me,
And I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
You said a prayer,
And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
You kissed me goodnight,
And I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes,
And I learned that sometimes things hurt
But that it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
You smiled
And it made me want to look that pretty, too.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
You cared,
And I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked,
And wanted to say thanks
For all those things you did

When you thought I wasn't looking.

MY TWO CENTS:

This is truly one of the tear-jerking poems I've read. Just when we thought only a mom could love so much, I realized how we moms make such an impact on our children's lives. Eventhough our kids could see our imperfections at times, our sacrifices and our dedication surpasses it all.
