everything!!

December 23rd, 2008

I had a chance to chat with a friend whom I rarely see these days. It was a typical mommy to mommy talk but I was surprised to know that for someone like her, she has so much to complain ( honestly, I can’t get it) . She landed a job in a very prestigious hotel in our country right after college, got married and now enjoys the finest things life has to offer. In short, she enjoys a lot of things which I can only dream of.

The conversation started with this line..” Anj how are you, I heard nasa yo na ang lahat” I almost fell off the chair. Actually I was laughing hard, I thought I’d pee. “WHAT???”, me ? I took a deep breath before I type my answer, I mean the serious one,hehehe…….

You see, having everything doesn’t always mean having all the things you really want. Everything doesn’t always mean the things you can purchase….Everything to me has a different meaning. Honestly I don’t! I experience financial problems, I don’t have a career that you can envy, I don’t have a big house nor a brand new car that you can drool about. So what made she say I have everything???

Funny cause I was about to tell her that same line she told me but I was put to stop when I read her reply. She said, “ you know Anj, I wish I can wear your shoes, I may have all the things money can buy but I don’t have what you have and what you have is the real meaning of the word everything”.

Unfortunately, our chat was cut short cause my bunso needs to go to the loo. It was a short but very meaningful conversation. Until now I am thinking of the things she said to me, It was actually an eye opener. Yeah, I guess I have a everything..if everything would mean being there always for my kids, seeing them grow up to be wonderful individuals, being able to see all the firsts in ther lives, having a responsible and loving husband and having the chance to mold my children to be good people…then I guess, yeah she’s right…absolutely right!!!
