angels on earth

i truly believe in angels. and in miracles.

everyday, i am a part of a special miracle.

and everyday, i am in the company of angels.

two little angels with invisible wings and halos.

angels who are really sweet and gentle, yet can be rowdy and rough the next minute. often, they make me so proud and happy. but sometimes, they drive me nuts too, enough to want me to send them off flying to the heavens for a little while.

they have changed my life. it has never been the same since the day i laid eyes on them. but life has never been this good nor this sweet as well.

so, i suppose this is the tiny everyday miracle i have. and i will not have it any other way.

this is the miracle called "children"...the children that God calls "angels".

autumn blooms

it is officially autumn in this part of the world. and today, it has been cold. i don't particularly like the cold, and i dread the onset of winter. but whether i like it or not, winter is most definitely on its way. there is not much i can do about it. it's just the way it is.

anyway, today, we went for a short drive to an old railway station nestled in some hill, just outside town. it is known for its country style cafe, and even more popular in the springtime when the hills boast of the most exquisite display of bright colorful blooms.

anyway, we got there. loved the place, but the cafe was closed. we were the only ones there except for the staff attending to the trains. little did we know that they only do business from friday to sunday, when most people flock, as the grounds are a favorite for picnic-goers.

but it wasn't all a loss. even in autumn, i found these pretty flowers, still blooming in perfection, serving as backdrop to a wonderful afternoon with the "loves" of my life.

in the end, that's all that matters. being with the people you love. and appreciating the beauty around you.

the guardian angel

"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another."

-Luciano de Crescenzo

These are photos of the little angel just outside our bedroom window, which the kids and myself love to check out every morning. He is our guardian angel, watching over us while we sleep, thus, in the daytime, he catches up on his sleep. It is a big task anyway, doing night shifts for us.

I believe in angels.

I even more so believe that there are more angels on earth that I see, than there are who dwell in the heavens. I think because, as angels, their main task is to come to earth, and touch somebody's life, so that in turn, that someone could do the same...be an angel to another.

I am so blessed to have been among the company of beautiful angels...special people who have touched my life. People who have made a difference when I was struggling, trying to fit in. People who have made me see my worth when I started doubting it. People who kept me company and made me laugh when I was too sad to even open my eyes. People who walked with me when I was enveloped in fear and people who held my hand when I started losing my grip. People who inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and start believing in myself again when I felt I wasn't good at what I was doing. People who I have not even met, and yet, have inspired me to do something I've always wanted doing, but didn't think I could, and the same people whose work makes me aspire to be better at this.

For all these special people who have seen me at my worst times, and those who rejoice with me at my highs...For those who provide inspiration, guidance and support, and those whom I draw strength, love and joy...Thank you for being my angels.

You know who you are. I only hope I could be to you what you all have been to me.
