It’s my birthday and right now, I’m thinking about the gifts and all the things that I am grateful for. Let me start this post by saying that I am very grateful for this fruitful year that has passed. I am welcoming another year with all of my heart and all the passion for life, love, and adventure.

The gifts that I am talking about are both the material and non-material gifts that I received the past year.

I am thankful for the opportunities that come my way….

I am thankful for being healthy and safe..

I am thankful for the inspirations…

I am thankful for a loving, thoughtful, understanding, responsible, and faithful husband…

I am thankful for a smart and healthy daughter…

I am thankful for the ability to travel…

I am thankful for true friends…

I am thankful for everything I have right now…

Yes, this is a gratitude post and one that I am doing in a hurry because I am tired from watching Hunger Games: Catching Fire and malling. I would just like to end this day watching Total Recall on HBO.

Good night!

Family Bonding and Gratitude

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy,and change ordinary opportunities into blessings” – William Arthur Ward

It’s been a hell of a ride of a life the last five months. Like what I’ve always been telling in this blog, I’ve been busy. Life has yet again taken over my life. Working at home seemed to drain me of a lot of energy. There was a time when I thought I should just do away with this blog and maintain the other three. It’s a good thing that there is something here that I always want to look back at: My gratitude list. I want to keep this every week, but days slip by and I didn’t even notice that I haven’t been writing it.

Here I am, after five whole months, writing what feels like my first list. There has been a lot of things that I am thankful for and I’ll start with those that I can remember:

It’s already November and since December the past year, I’m proud to say that I’ve been making it as a Work at Home Mom (WAHM). Sure, the pay isn’t that big but I’m glad to say that there has been money flowing in on a monthly basis. I’d like to think I was able to make IT work the way I want it to– Thank God, of course.
I’m thankful I was able to bond with my aunts. The photo above was while we were waiting in line at Vikings in SM North EDSA. My Tita Becky treated us for a late lunch that day and it was as good as any.
I’m very thankful to God that when I asked Him for a juicer, He also made sure I get a multi chef cooker to go with it.

I’m thankful for my new hobby: Gardening. It’s been keeping me in a zen mood lately and I don’t want to disturb my good karma. It’s letting me breathe and release my stress. Ykaie even asked me to get her a plant as well. I got her a Cactus which she named EBAI (after her favorite lola Eva).
I’m thankful I’m getting inspired to try out new things everyday. Even if not musically inclined, I think I’ll have the guts to try out learning how to play a musical instrument.

That’s it for now. I have more but I’m reserving that for my next post. I want to be able to make a gratitude list every week.

” Thank you is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” ~Alice Walker

I was busy the past months but I know that I have a lot to be thankful for. I was able to buy a lot of things for peanutbutter♥, Ykaie and me which includes clothes and shoes. Aside from that, we were able to travel to a lot of places.

It has been a tiring, busy, hectic couple of months but it was all worth it because I was with family all of those times.

I’ll just go on with my list today, okay?

♥ First, I’m very thankful that peanutbutter♥ got home safe and sound.

♥ Second, Ykaie graduated at the top of her class, albeit a small class. And her daddy was able to be there for her.

♥ Third, I’m thankful for our staycations where we are able to bond as a family.

♥ I feel that our marriage has taken a different turn this year and got deeper and more meaningful.

♥ I’m thinking more and trying to be better than I was the day before…

That’s it for now.
