It’s Sunday! I wasn’t able to touch base in my beloved Bukidnon because I have tons of things to do here. I woke up pretty late today then I did my laundry and then headed off to church with my cousin. For lunch, we had crispy fried chicken, then double dutch icecream, and nacho chips to boot.
I was struck at what the priest shared to us during the homily. Lately, I have been whining and complaining about everything. Every day I question myself why things didn’t turn out the way I want things to be. The last couple of weeks were filled with utter sadness and emptiness from my end. Probably because I am still at the process of adjusting to my new job and the people around me or that one of my closest friends is leaving me behind. I could pretty much describe myself right now as an “empty lonely gray cloud drifting far apart...” But it is through these sudden pangs of emptiness and loneliness that I can absolutely say that to be vulnerable is to be human. My point is, there are moments in life when we have to be defenseless, and we have to be susceptible to risks and all so that we will know how to deal with life’s complexities and trickiness.
Anyway, the priest also shared something about being contended with what we have. He underscored that as God’s children we have to be receptive to His empowerment. We have to count our blessings instead of whining and complaining all the time.
So right now, I want to list all the things that I am truly thankful of.
:)For the gift of friends.. oh, I really miss my superfriends! I considered them as my life lines.
:) My family! I don’t know how to define my life without them. I so so so love my family and I thank them for keeping all of us in a tighter nucleus. We may not have everything in life but we have each other for comfort and care, attention and affection..etc. hugsss…
:) For my job.
:) For my piece of sanity in this crazy lonely world. * wishing the universe to conspire and make all my dreams and aspirations in life to come in full fruition.
:) For our pet dogs. They are one of my top ten lists of de-stressors! Misty, Shadow, Dobie, Sugar, Hanna, Hanni, Hippo,Pumpkin and Yum yum. And also to Tara who died last week. :( and of course how will I ever forget our tricky monkey! Thanks muy! And also our cats… hehehe
:) For the comfort I have in my life right now.
:) And for everything!!!!
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
