“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”
Saw this quote on a Facebook friend’s status a while ago. There are many different sources that this quote have been attributed to. Who said it first is not so important, at least not for me.
I don’t dare to count myself as having much success by most standards. I got some things I wanted (like traveling to so many places that many new places simply cease to impress me anymore). As for “wanting what I get,” I think I can say I have some things in my life right now that I am deeply, deeply grateful to God for.
Xuanie is definitely a big portion of that part of my life. When I look at him, when I watch him, when I interact with him . . . my heart is just filled with gratitude that God granted me such a BIG little one as a present. Right from the first hours since he was born, I am totally in love and gratitude.
I hope this bit of information will be a source of strength for Xuanie, sometime in the future. For he is loved, and cherished. And he brings much happiness to mama.
