“Where there is Love, there is Life”- Mahatma Ghandi
There are many things in life that I simply love.
I love reading a good book… I love listening to soothing music… I love coloring my book… I love drinking coffee… I love cooking for my family… I love my movie dates and dinners with hubby… I love stargazing and cloud-watching with my daughter… I love hugs and flowers… I love going out of town…I love a lot more other things…
BUT I made a discovery and found out another thing that I love which for is really sweet and gives me so much more satisfaction. It is something that really melts my heart and you would not guess what it is.
I love combing my mom’s hair.
Yes, it’s downright simple happiness for me.
As I gently comb my mom’s hair, I feel nothing but great love and respect for her. I know more than 30 years ago, she was the one combing my hair with such great care.
My mom loves me and my 3 other siblings very much and I know she does up until now that we have our own family. Her love and care for us never ceased. In fact, she also shows the same affection to her grandkids and treat our spouses like her own children.
So every time I do an act of service for her, my heart delights on it- every second of it!
Whenever we get the chance to be together as family, I realize how my mom and my dad are also getting older… That’s a reality that I can do nothing about. I can’t freeze time and wish that we could all just stay as we are at this present time. No- that is impossible. BUT LIFE IS GOOD.
Life is good because we have a technology that allow us to see each other as if we’re in the same place. Everyday they get to see their grandkids grow up. No matter the distance, we can be there for each other when we need to. We do not feel that we’re alone.
Life is good simply because every day is an opportunity to make people in our lives happy. Every day, I get the chance to tell them that I love them. Life is good because there is LOVE.
Love definitely does make life sweeter. š

Thank you Hayley for sharing my post. I’m truly honored.
I love the smell of Jasmines…we used to have a big shrub of jasmine in my parents home and it smelled soooo good at night! Really relaxing and soothing…
The soup looked delicious. I bet it tasted as good,if not even better than it looked!…and yeah! Let’s rock with that Bon Jovi’s song! š¤ššš Have a blessed soulful Sunday Hayley!

Nina, this is a beautiful post. My mom and dad are gone now, but I cherish all of our time together and the memories of how they loved my kids and husband, just as much as they loved me and my three siblings. As I bake a heart shaped cake today for my family, like my mom did every Valentine’s Day, I’m smiling even more! – Susan
