I woke up at 8 o’clock this morning. i was very tired yesterday for having a dance show. I took a shower in a rush and wash my hair. I know that i have been clumsy lately because i have so many exercises to do. I mess my hair and my body.And before i realize it, i mess my study.

I take a couple of time to check my email and read several news about arts (you know, i love arts). I read several message across the world which is stated in every updated blog from all blogger friends. I sometimes add it with what i call “relaxing activity”. It is a short minutes playing game which sometimes could refresh my mind about anything ~but sometimes it makes me addicted to it~. i really enjoy my moment before suddenly Mr. Sexy sends me a message, “Honey, do not forget to do your thesis”.

aaarrrggghhhh…… Mr. Sexy, you ruin my perfect moment.

This is not enough, my mom and my brother suddenly become very busy moving the plants. the are replacing the plants from upstairs to downstairs. They are very noisy putting the plants here and there. I should not let it just happen around me without doing nothing. I should help them. then i help them with that and i am sweaty now. hikzz..

But then i realize, this makes me alive. Mr. Sexy did not mean to disturb my perfect moment, he wants to create a new perfect moment for me instead. Well, i really should finished my study right? this is why he is really concern about it. I really thankful that he cares for me. He reminds me to finish it soon so i could do another activity, the one that i really want it right now. Working. I want to work but i must finished my study first. well, thank you Mr. Sexy, i really appreciate what you have done to me.

My family is also the other blessing i have today. It is good to redecorate our home together. Becoming sweaty together and laughing together. It is good to be at home with your family in togetherness. I really thankful that they are still here with me right now. This might be the moment i could not get when i have got married (because i must be very busy managing my own new home). i really thankful for my parents who always love me no matter who i am. i also thankful for my naughty brother ~although we sometimes fighting each other and disputing each other~ for always be there for me when I need him. I love them all.

That was really beautiful. I was especially touched by your being thankful for those relationships that are not friendships. I think we don’t think often enough about how those are orchestrated by the hand of our Father. Thank you for reminding me of that.

I haven’t done Thankful Thursday in a long time Iris, and it is such a joy to read yours. I agree – it is the people God has placed in our lives that greatly influence who we are. He uses others to do the work in our lives He wants done.
I think your relationship with your beloved and your son are very special indeed.

This is a beautiful post. I can see where we would need difficult people in our lives to help us grow. I don’t deal well with them though, I get too emotional and I am too old to cry in front of them. I’m speaking of the difficult instructor I’ve had with my mastery lessons on the new machine.
I’m so glad you have your Mother still and a good realationship with her.
Blessings,
Mama Bear

I am thankful I have a moment to visit and say hello and I’ve missed talking to you. I hope that you are well… and all is well at work, etc. School is soon to start – can’t believe it’s August, already! Anyway – drop me a hello when you get a moment… just makes me smile to hear from you, even if it’s short… BTW, about the shooting that you mention… it was in Knoxville (3 hours awaY).

Thank you for the thankful Thursdays. My walk with God has been virtually nonexistent of late and I finding that there are multiple multiple ways He is pulling me back to Him -- and you have been one of them with your attitude of gratitude. I don't know if it will mean anything to you to receive it but it means an awful lot to me to give you an award. Thanks for being a part of how God is working His purpose in me.
