Saying Grace

April 24, 2009

I have just uploaded my posts on each day of the holy week for this year. More than wanting to share to you the days while I was away, I take pleasure in reviving in my mind everything I did during that week, as if compressing months in 7 days. For someone who goes home (to my province) barely once a month, that I got to spend 9 days straight with my family, especially the kids, is something to be grateful for. Time really flies, especially when you’re away, when you don’t watch kids grow in front of your eyes, when you don’t see changes occur over time. I live here now, but I live for every moment with them. I am grateful for my family who doesn’t drift away from me though I am miles apart. I am grateful for our healthy and for the improving health of our sickly.

I am grateful that I have work, though not the one I want to have. In times of crisis, one should find comfort just in having work. And though it is hard to make accounts balance, with a little (read: huge) stretch, I still make it to the next payday. While this has become a cycle, I am grateful that I haven’t completely succumbed to cynicism and that I still have my vision.

I am grateful that I am that girl from UP. After a plummeting self-esteem, I made it back. Kettlebells are for strength. Exercises are for endurance. What are for the brain? Six years after college, I am grateful He gave me a second chance to seek my dreams.

you are lucky to be able to spend time with your family! i wish i could do that too, even for once in a year.

i know from experience how living from one payslip to another feels, but having a job is blessing enough too, especially when the rest of the world is in recession.

stay strong and i wish you the best!
stay positive!

“After a plummeting self-esteem, I made it back.”
–ikaw lang naman kasi e! :-) never doubted your skills, capability, etc even by a bit. i have more trust in you than the theories of probabilities! nyahaha!

goodluck sa mga paparating pang challenges and more importantly, opportunities. ;-)

i admit. i fail to see the good things that i’m supposed to be thankful for - most of the time. you have such a grateful heart and i wish you more opportunities to be grateful for.

Wow! Congrats and Goodluck to your new endeavor! I’m so happy for you! :) And yup, there’s a lot of things to be grateful about! Like being alive so we could tell our love ones how much we love and care for them. :)

life has its ups and downs, but i never for a moment doubt that you can pick yourself up from whatever it is that’s bugging you. go reach for your dreams. the moment you stop dreaming, life becomes flat and a chore.

i admit that i am most of the time pessimistic bordering on cynical. i just think it’s unfair not to acknowledge the good things that come my way. life must really have a balance.

being grateful to everything you have, reaching for your dreams, seeing the good in having balance in life… this is mordsith - full of positive energy. very good.

re balance, tennis tayo this weekend. hehe

I am happy for you, and of course, law school is nuts, but being the girl from UP, come on, you can do it!
