Hey Friends,
Hope and pray that you are doing wonderful and trying your best to find out the answers of the questions that every new day bring to you as i know that each of you is capable to do this brilliantly : )
My son has left four day ago i am missing him alot ! I am constantly watching his videos that i recorded while he was here and i do this each time he visits.
Weather has changed quickly and sun shine has become unbearable 40+c already.
Seasonal blooms are fading though few summer plants and neem tree growing quickly.
Now a days when i am feeling that change of seasons and various incidents are not the only factor that effect our moods. Sometime inevitably we have to follow our stupid moods which spring up in our insidious world and compel to do what we normally we would have thought many times before we doing it.
Almost 30 years ago when my mother bought hilly land for house she gave contract to a man who had to move away all huge rocks that were nailed in that land.
That man did all work but left one rock nailed there and disappeared after
receiving his payment .My mother trusted him and paid all amount in advance as he was familiar to our some relatives . I felt that mom was so worried because the mason was asking for the clarity of land so he can start construction.
I realized the helplessness of my mother as my father was not around and brother was in army those days and she had to face everything alone.
Meanwhile My aunt who was expecting got her pains and mother took her to the hospital in a small city near . We both sisters were living in a tow rooms home that was in the front yard of one of mom's girlfriend. She suppose to look after us while in mom's absence .
While mom was staying in hospital , everyday after doing my homework [was 15 something then] i would go to the land that mom bought and took the all necessary iron tools that were very very heavy and try to move the rock .
I wanted to to it as soon as possible as i knew if mom came back and saw me doing this she could punish me instead of thanking because mom did not want me to do any house work until i finish my studies. She wanted me to be clean and tidy not mingled with dirt .
I dug deep along the rock and each time i found space i put iron rod under it and kept it pushing up .In three days i dug more than five feet around the rock and it needed just a powerful push now to move down.
Finally in the evening time of third day i pushed that rock with all my inner strength that came in me only with this thought that this will make my mother feel better ! and miracle happened ,a huge rock rolled down without the utilizing any blasting material .Tears were pouring from my eyes . I came back with deep sense of achievement and inner peace .
I took bath and washed my dirty clothes as mom was coming back next day. When she came and saw me laying on bed with high temperature [my arms and whole body was aching and fever was high . Secretly i thanked God for this sickness as mom could not punish me so.
When mom saw that rock moved from it's place she hugged me and cried a lot she said i am her son not a daughter . I was grateful to God who gave me wave of such mood that brought something impossible into possibility.
Dear friends i want to ask you one question that bothers me often.
What Is Mood ?????
Please take good care everyone . Take each moment as priceless gift because it is.
God Bless You All!

You are such a good daughter! You accomplished a big feat by moving that rock. And you wrote this beautifully. I hope your sadness over your son being away leaves you soon. Life marches on whether we are ready or not, and you are right to say to "take each moment as a priceless gift"! Andrea
ReplyDeleteWhar an inspiring story, really moving. It's too bad your son is already gone, but good you had that precious time together, I can see you are an amazing mom☺ And wow, 40 degrees is a lot, in Poland it's just 15 for now ☺
ReplyDeleteLovely post dear!
ReplyDeleteTouching story, you are full of kindness and caring:) A big hug!
ReplyDeleteYou were such a good daughter, Baili.
ReplyDeleteMood is how you feel at a particular moment in time. For example, I was is a good mood this morning until I went out into the bitter cold, then my mood changed.
You were determined and motivated! Anything is possible with that attitude!
ReplyDeletewhat an achievement! You were in a mood to succeed. It is the feeling you get about how you will tackle life at that moment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story of persistence and overcoming a problem! Mood is a funny thing, isn't it? I find my mood can be affected by the weather, by a piece of music, by a phone call, by being in a rush ... so many things. I try to keep a sense of humour, which helps :) Have a good week, baili!
ReplyDeleteThank you for for this insight into your life. You are a wonderful individual. May each day bless you.
ReplyDeleteI love your story of helping your Mom with moving the rock, Baili. Such a selfless and caring thing to do. It's always sad when we have to say goodbye to our loved ones, but they always stay close in our hearts. My moods are affected by so many little things, especially if I am tired and don't feel well, but I try not to let my moods affect others or my actions. I try to find a quiet place to work through them and count my blessings to lift my mood. Sometimes that is not easy! Also, keeping my sense of humor is so important. Sending hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible woman you are! And such a great daughter. This is such a great story of determination. My moods are often affected by how tired I am. If I push myself too hard physically, I find that I'm less patient and quite overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely you did move that large rock for your mother, you were determined.
ReplyDeleteYou asked a question - as to what is 'Mood' Answer; to not be friendly to other people because you are feeling angry - to be in mood. That is an example.
Little miracles of faith can exist in us all! Well done for moving that rock, a burden to your mother. Happy tears of joy!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
That is a wonderful story! Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteAs for what is "mood": That is a big question! There are scientific, philosophical and literary answers to that question. I think that I will spend some time thinking about those answers today.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story which shows a loving daughter who was becoming a strong woman...there are all kinds of moods and they are influenced by many things--we can be happy, sad, anxious, pensive, etc. My guess for you is that your mood today is affected because you are a bit sad that your son is no longer visiting you. I hope he can come again soon.
ReplyDeleteYour story of love for your mother is beautiful. And your ambition and inventiveness in working to move the rock is astounding. I will be in a good mood all day because I read that story. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes, you must be missing your son, but how nice to watch the videos.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the story, so lovely to read.
What is mood? I think it is a state or quality of feeling at a particular time ... my present mood is relaxed and happy.
Enjoy the rest of your week and have a lovely weekend too.
I hope the weather isn't too hot!
All the best Jan
What an amazing story! No wonder you got so sick after such strenuous work to make your mother happy. Such a wonderful story of love! I know you must be very sad your son has already left, it seems the time flies by so fast when you don't want it to! Glad that you have the memories through the videos you took. About mood - I don't know, it is a strange thing, so many things affect it. For me, my mood always feels better if I go outside and just look up, to the skies, to the mountains, to the world around me, it lets me know that Jesus is always with me, and His beauty is evident everywhere around us. Hugs to you today dear friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a story - you are a strong woman! Thank you for visit me and my blog.
ReplyDeleteI wish you good times and sent lovely greetings from Germany

You have amazing willpower and determination. Your mother must have been profoundly moved to have such a daughter as you.
ReplyDeleteMood? Often, I think of our emotions as a feelings in a big bag from the sky on a long rope. When we are in control, we can choose where to place the bag, happy, content, joyful. When we let the events around us control us, then the events move the bag, anger, jealousy, hate.
You are a good daughter. I thinks moods are affected by many things. Sometimes you have no control over how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI think what you did for your mom was incredibly wonderful... I bet she never forgot it... that man was not a good man doing that to your mom ...
ReplyDeleteMoods can take over us, of course we can switch the mood, it isn't easy but it's possible xox (Stay cool, that heat sounds crazy)
Baili, this was such a lovely story. How wonderful that while your mother was helping your sister that you were helping her. What a great daughter to want to help your mother this way.
ReplyDeleteTo me mood is a feeling. It can be any emotion... happy, sad, angry, sorrow, hate, love, you can see what I am trying to say 💕
wonderful explanation Jan, couldn't have said this better
DeleteHello Baili, I'm really in awe of what you achieved at such a young age. Even then you possessed a real empathy for your Mother's feelings. You would have lifted her mood tremendously by your incredibly unselfish act of love for her.
ReplyDeleteMood - everyone has explained it well. I learnt many years ago from a wise woman than even if we are feeling a bit down, we can choose to feel happy. Of course, it doesn't always work but, sometimes, if I feel myself slipping into an angry or bad mood (for a not very important reason), I remember her words and I say to myself that I choose to be happy.
That you feel sad in the absence of your Son is so understandable and, as I see it, you're choosing to be happy by looking at those videos of him and recalling those happy times which will come once more.
Cheerio for now :D)
Great job moving the rock. Well done.
ReplyDelete"Secretly i thanked God for this sickness as mom could not punish me so." :) So perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think mood is a feeling.
And I think you were in a very good mood to move such a rock. :)
Thank you again for your kindness, and for inspiring my new post.
Lingering a little longer through your page.
Love and blessings.
You are a wonderful daughter!
ReplyDeletemy mood is happy - because i choose to be happy!!! this is a great story, you are a kind and loving daughter!!!
ReplyDeleteOur moods can be affected by our feelings, the weather, circumstances and even the people around us. You are a very determined person and once you have decided, you kept your focus on what you need to do. You are a very caring person and you love you mom very much. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think many things can affect our moods. You are a wonderful daughter and a beautiful person.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great daughter!! Good for you! You should be very proud of yourself! I know your mom was so happy and proud of you!! "Mood" is what you are feeling, sad, happy, mad, love, etc.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteMy mood... I try to be happy and positive :-)
A wonderful story. No matter how hard a task may feel, you never gave up. That is a powerful message.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring story, Baili! You and your mother had such a loving and supportive relationship! She raised a determined and persistent daughter. What is mood? The dictionary says it's a "a temporary state of mind or feeling." I think that the important word is "temporary" because some of my moods are quite dark and ugly and I'm thankful when they pass quickly. We all have ups and downs! It must be so hard to see your son leave! That loneliness must be difficult to get through. Sending you a big hug and lots of love!
