Friday's Fave Five: Love will find a way
Please scroll down for Mommy Moments
Tension hovered over my week. It's related with preparations for a future endeavor, but then it's usually the way with such kind of stuff. I'm glad, like always, to reach Friday and engage in a healthy exercise of finding what is positive about the week. Once again, thank you, Susanne for Friday's Fave Five:
i. Story of strength and courage
I haven't been following the winter olympics, but the news story of figure skater Joannie Rochette made me reflect on life's beautiful attributes.
iv. Mango season
My workplace has hundreds of mango trees on its grounds. Branches are becoming heavy with the ripening fruits. The big boss allows us all - faculty, staff, birds and students to eat all we want. I'm busy and haven't eaten a single mango yet, but I'm enjoying the sight of pretty heels, sneakers and chirping feathers feasting on the luscious blessing.
v. A sweet theme
Mommies of the meme Mommy Moments are sharing songs they sing for or with their kids this week. Love will find a way gives me a break from hyperactiveness since CJ keeps still when it is played and he is prone to hug and kiss more than get into mischief.
Mommy Moments: Song from a mom's heart
Please scroll up for Friday's Fave Five
Songs that I sing to CJ are say, more than a few and varied, but all short, mostly improvised and sometimes off-key. Those choir-singing days seem so far away now. Suggestive of his nickname, Baby Pooh, I pick lines I love from Little Mr. Roo, and sing them to him --
Little Ceejay Pooh (Mr. Roo), Let the stars shine over you, no one knows you like I do ... Don't grow up too fast, too soon. Save some time for dreaming. Settle in, settle down let me see that sleepy yawn on your face, Close your eyes I will love you completely and always...
KIARA:
In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
KOVU:
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
KIARA and KOVU:
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way

ii. This week
Final exams are going on - light work all week with lots of free time for us invigilating, not taking the finals.

iii. Cashing a check and saving it
When my gradschool transcript was released, I kept my ID card in my wallet and shifted my thoughts on stuff unrelated with studies. Maybe I was too happy to not think about research for awhile I also forgot that I still have some cash deposit left at the university. As getting back to research work got more intense this week, I remembered the money. But it is long overdue. I know claiming it two years after the deadline is ridiculous. But I was curious and I risked my face at the finance office anyway. The nice surprise? They issued me a check! No questions. No raised eyebrows. I love my alma mater :)

The entire lyrics were on a post-it note in my computer at work for a couple of years. Nowadays we listen and sing along to Love will find a way from Lion King, CJ's fave and mine too.

Thom, and a personality test I took branded me a robot! Of course I keep my mommy personality out of places where I deal with hard-core machinery.
Nice songs, I also like the Lion King soundtrack. Have a great weekend
I love your Mommy songs - someday, in the not too distant future I hope, I'm planning to sing lots and lots of songs to my grandchildren. I can hardly wait!
Happy weekend!
His Unfailing Love

WOW on the check from your alma mater - that's amazing!
I loved Joannie's performance, and my heart went out to her.
Nothing is blooming here yet, but I am enjoying hearing about blooming flowers and fruits elsewhere.
I once had a doll
that was all dressed in white
I called her/him my baby
and I held her/him tight
His eyes were so blue and
his cheeks were so red
And I loved him most of all
each time he said
Mama... Mama...
One little word he knew
Mama... Mama...
To me, it means I love you.
Isn't it SWEET?
Hazel... I just LOVE the way you find the blessings in your life!
I love it !!!!!
LOve your songs yeahhhh.....
Have a happy weekend
I would love a mango tree. Yummy.
How awesome about the school just making you out a cheque.
I found myself singing the same songs to my grandson that I sang to my children. I wonder if I should learn new bedtime songs.
Happy weekend!
Thanks for dropping by. By the way,
Hope you can join my meme too, it's called Pixelbug weekend. This is a meme where you share how your weekend went through photos. Hope to see you this Monday.
