what is your most precious moment?

i don't know that i have one.. but i'd love to hear what you fine gals and guys have to say!

Re: what is your most precious moment?

It was when a nurse gave my dying father his lsat bath.  She was soft spoken, sure in her movements, and serene about his passing.  She touched him in a loving and caring way.  I hope  i thanked her.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

*hugs* she must have been a very caring and special person to have touched your life like that in such a trying time.

this is quite a different precious moment.. i am happy that you shared this!

all the best to you,
Suni

Re: what is your most precious moment?

I think I have a few, but one is getting my first puppy as an adult. We lived in apartments in NYC, so it was not until I was over 50 years old that I picked my first wonderful puppy from the Humane Society; she has passed now, but I have another lovely dog.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

i can relate! 

pets touch our lives and hearts in ways humans can never. take for example my little shih tzu. she is like a person in a dog's body. she is like a child to me..my friend, my dog, my “wittle baby”. she is precious to me. i love my other two dogs, and my cat, but she has her special place in my life. i think she cemented that the day i cried. i had her with me at my house, and she had to go back to my mom's, and i was sad my snuggle buddy (she sleeps beside me all through the night when she is here) was leaving. so i cried. she looked at me and started licking my face, as if to say “don't cry!! i'm always here! i love you!”

thank you cindy for sharing this!

Re: what is your most precious moment?

This one's easy for me.   When my son was born.  I fell in love with the top of his head and it's been that way ever since then.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

JAGADISH: aw! cute! i've never been to a birth, as i choose not to, but i'm there when all the screaming and yelling is over, and the baby is being passed around. it is exciting and wonderful when a new family member comes into the world :D it must be even more exciting when you are the parent!

DHARMABUM: again, cute! why the top of his head? did he have a ton of hair when he was born? some of my cousins did..i know that my brother did..

Re: what is your most precious moment?

…Hi Suni ! 18, ( hahaha! )…by the way , i'm just 61…!!!..
…and here's a small correction …i didn't see the birth ,  ( neither i wanted to )..it was not allowed in India some 20 years ago ..what i meant to say was my becoming a proud father which she declared by her full throated cry !!…
..BTW i enjoyed reading your profile oozing with tons of confidence !!…bravo !, keep it up & going !!…
best wishes

Re: what is your most precious moment?

eh! age is a number we humans use to count how many years we've been meandering the earth. i love the meandering..no set course. just go wherever you please.

why couldn't you see the birth? i bet that is an awesome feeling..becoming the proud father! of course, i wouldn't truly know, as i will be the proud (and TIRED) mom if i chose to have little Suni's running around.

thanks! i just add what i like there..! i see you're a swimmer! do you swim in the ocean? i swim in lake superior! i have pictures in the My Art album in my pictures if you are curious.

light and joy to you!

Re: what is your most precious moment?

4)…your posts 've already brought  light & joy to me !, Thank You !..

Re: what is your most precious moment?

really? i am happy i made you happy then! btw, i love that word..meander..love it. thank you for your acknowledgement, Jagadish! i appreciate it.

i'm not entirely sure i would want to watch a baby being delivered..all that screaming and yelling..unless it was my sister, i don't care to see a birth!

whoa!! a big pool?! like one in a gym..or an olympic one? i love swimming in big pools, because i can push myself off the side of the wall and dart through the water.

i am pleased to have brought light and joy to you!

Namaste
Suni

Re: what is your most precious moment?

Anytime when I am in the company of or thinking of my children.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

Redviolin: how beautiful! your children are most blessed to have you for a mother :D i'm happy for you!

thank you for this darling reply!

Re: what is your most precious moment?

I have two that kind of tie. The first is when I finished reading my first book. It opened up my eyes to different worlds and different ideas. The second was when I finished writing my first book because I got to create a world of my own.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

Bubbles: what was your first book that you read? first that you wrote? i create my own worlds through my art, and the random little snidbits and tales i spin. i posted one in the gaia lounge like a month ago titled “a dinosaur bit my foot”, out of a random whim!

thank you for this reply! (i can imagine myself reading one of my books..kind of taught myself how to read.. i do not recall what the book was called. all i know is that it had a black kitten and an orange kitten! i remember struggling to read it)

Re: what is your most precious moment?

You taught yourself to read? That's very admirabe. Good job ^_^.
It was a Doctor Seuss book and my mom had to help me read it, but I loved the cute characters and stll do.
The first story that I wrote was about a Dead End Road that was cursed because a kid got scared on his birthday and I wrote that when I was 8. To say I was a weird kid's an understatement.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

i read a lot of disney books..we had these books with multiple disney stories in them. i remember the chip and dale ones better, because i would ALWAYS read them :P and my mom would help me read Shel Silverstein, and she would read me The Missing Piece Meets the Big O.

weird? phooey! you were, and are, unique. as was i, and still am :P

Re: what is your most precious moment?

The Missing Piece Meets the Big O. That sounds interesting. I never heard of it.
Unique is a good word ^_^

Re: what is your most precious moment?

oh!! it's a great story! loved it as a kid, and i would totally read it to my own, if i ever have them!

Re: what is your most precious moment?

most precious moment would be every moment.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

My most precious moment was in May 1974 when I went on my first airplane flight.  It was my wedding gift and I was going to visit my parents homeland which was Switzerland.  What a beautiful country it was.  Exactly like the postcards show, a beautiful clean country.  I got to see some relatives that I had never met.  My father was there when we landed so he was able to translate for my husband and myself.  A precious moment etched in my memory.  I have since been back to visit in1989.

Re: what is your most precious moment?

Looking for a most precious moment would be like trying to stop time.  Looking for a most precious moment would be ingratitude and a taking for granted of that which is with me right in front of my 'eyes'.
However, I am grateful for knowing this and for the most part being able to utilize some wisdom in use.  I am entirely grateful for noticing and then ignoring so that I can notice something else.  over and over and over and over…same but never the same
