Greetings, Hive friends. It's always fun to share with you the moments that shape my lifestyle. I was really trying to place this experience in the most appropriate community, but definitely, being a mom is a very particular, unique, and unpredictable lifestyle. And although this last aspect does not agree with a 'lifestyle', unpredictability is present in every moment of our lives, and in any field. Celebrating Mother's Day already becomes a new lifestyle for new moms, and for those of us who already have teenage children, it is a consecrated style. So I thought it was appropriate to share some images of this special day for me and my daughter."
Days before Mother's Day, I had told my daughter and sister that I just wanted to sleep and do nothing; that's how punctual and precise I was. I just wanted to sleep, watch a movie, and go back to sleep. Yes, I know, my plan is very boring, but when you're a mom, there are times when you just want to rest. Obviously, they didn't take my suggestions into account, so they embarked me on a day full of company and special details. Being a mom is the most difficult and extraordinary natural and organic lifestyle one can live, because without a doubt, as a mother, there are a series of things you must do even if you're not in the mood for anything. My daughter loves to celebrate, and to celebrate me; even if I tell her I don't want to, she always has details and things for me. So I shook off my morning boredom and let myself be loved, because I love being a mom, and my lifestyle is to be the best mom I can be for her.
This is how my day started, with a coffee, I think it's what I love most in the morning, my special coffee, then my daughter gave me some earrings with a very beautiful necklace, I loved it, she knows that I love feline pieces, then they prepared my super special lunch that I love cheese, tomato and oregano sandwich, my time was more than enough, but I think they were more excited to cook and serve me than myself, they gave me a red velvet cake, but my sister had a small accident and she dropped it on the floor, so we only saved a part of the cake, and they prepared me a special lunch, during all that time they were only with me, chatting, remembering moments of my daughter's childhood, and a whole maternal, family and very emotional atmosphere, so I was on cloud nine full of happiness, because being a mother has given my identity an immeasurable value and incredible strength, so I enjoyed and ate like never before.
I made this collage, which says, "I am incredible thanks to you, my mountain, my teacher, my hope." Feeling proud and happy is an understatement compared to such genuine and loving words.
And just when I thought that was it, my daughter convinced me to go for a walk near our house because the sunset was so beautiful, and she invited me to have a drink. How could I refuse such an invitation when being with her is so divine? I'm so grateful for you taking that day for me and always being so special every day.
My last gift was so appropriate and coolly calculated. They know I love wine, but they decided to give me a mini bottle of just one glass because the next day brings the routine, work, and all the obligations, and overindulging is not a good idea. I laughed so hard at this last detail. I enjoyed it so much. This is what I meant by a mom lifestyle. Surely under other circumstances I'd just be sleeping or alone, but my decisions led me to be right there by their side, enjoying their immense love and creating together our ways to live the best life possible. Thank you for reading this little piece, for supporting me, and happy day to all the mothers and their families who celebrate this moment of love.
