Open your presents at Christmastime but be thankful year round for the gifts you receive. ~Terri Guillemets
It’s the first of June. For me, it signifies that we’re halfway through the year. Going through my Gratitude List archive made me realize that I haven’t made a list of all the things to be thankful for in months! My last gratitude post was written December last year. I have been blessed with a lot of things and I know that I should be thankful for each and every one of those things.
I am, again, planning on being more active in writing a weekly gratitude list just like before just so I get reminded of how blessed I am. This time I feel that I can really commit into posting and writing a weekly list specially because I’ve completely given up two of my blogs: http://www.peachyness.com ( which supposedly my health and wellness blog) and http://www.peachandthings.com, my mixed-up crazy blog. I used to have five blogs and now, I’m down to three : this: Mommy Peach, The Peach Kitchen, and The Wandering Peach.
Let’s get down to my list, shall we?
♥ The first thing I’m thankful for is that our soon-to-be-home is now 38% complete. The reconstruction of our home started last March and is expected to be finished in August. Yay! I’m super excited.
♥ It is getting really hot. I think this Summer wants us to be all fried but thank God for spontaneous showers like these. Ykaie, Cyra, and Cyvrine loves bathing and playing in the rain. I was at the terrace when I took this photo.
♥ I’m thankful for the feature at Working Mom Magazine last year. Prior to that, I hated smiling with my teeth showing. Since then, I’ve begun appreciating this kind of smile… Cheeeeeeeese!
♥ I’m thankful for friends who’s almost a sister to me — like Brenice. We went out and celebrated her birthday last monday. We ate at Mango Tree Bistro in Trinoma and had coffee at CBTL. It was such a blast and I can’t wait until our next day out. Hope our other friends could join us next time.
♥ I’m always thankful for food bonding with the gehls… eventhough I know that we can never ever eat a giant pizza as big as this one.
We bonded over waffles — Choco Banana ones, specfically– last week….And some Tofu Chip Nachos, and Taho and Malungay pesto pasta…..
Oh, and we found a new takoyaki to love — Tamayaki! We love hanging out at Tamayaki!
Lats but not the least….
♥ I’m SUPER thankful that my peanutbutter♥ is coming home for good this month. (Whaaaat?!) Yeah, he is. I’m very excited because I missed him so so so much. Working overseas is a sacrifice but everything must come to an end. It’s time to be home with us.
So I guess from now on you’ll be seeing a lot of him in this blog. Weeee!

So there. Cheers to my first gratitude post for 2014.
And cheers to keeping this up on a weekly basis.
Wow, soon your project will be completed already!
Yeah, and we are very excited!
The fact that we are alive is a blessing in itself. Everything else are extra whipped cream and a cherry on top! 🙂
I couldn’t agree more, April!
The project’s near completion and am sure, you’re so excited about it. Next on line is decors.
You said it. Gotta save for a budget!
Ang sarap lang maligo sa ulan noh..
Sobra! Lalo na ngayon, rainy season na.
Congratulations on the progress of your new home! It’s always an exciting time to move in and make new memories!
Thank you Roxi!
That is a great list of things to be grateful for! I’m happy for you that your hubby is coming home. 🙂
I have a Thankful Thursdays Feature on my blog. Would you like to be one of my guests? 🙂
Maybe next time when I have more time. Thank you so much for the offer Chinky!
Congratulations! I’m looking forward to the start of our home’s construction too. But it’ll take a while for us pa. And yay for your hubby’s return!
Thanks KIm!
I really love the idea of gratitude journals. It gives us a great perspective of all that’s going well in our lives. I believe that optimism is the way to go, and by knowing what you have to be thankful for, it is easier to approach each day with a positive outlook. 🙂 So nice to see that you have a lot to be grateful for.
Thanks Patty!
One of the best things I started this year was to create a 365 worship photo project. It really made me more aware about being thankful for the little things 🙂
I think I have to start one next year..
Bathing in the rain! Cheers to more blessings for all 😀
Cheers Que!
