2013 Yearender Thoughts: On Life and Living


As I bid 2013 goodbye, let me thank this year for bringing so many challenges in my life. I know that without these trials I will not be able to test how strong I am in the next coming years.

2013 was a good year, despite the hardships and the struggles. There were blessings that came through my way...

After being out of job since the middle of 2010, I had a part time work this 2013. It's not a fabulous and a powerful career like the previous one, in fact, it was a low-key job that I was exactly looking for. A work that doesn't seem to be real work at all. It was the flexibility in time that made me stick to it.

My family was able to survive the first year since my father passed away. It was never an easy year for the rest of us. 

The husband was here in the country for the rest of the year. We made adjustments in our daily routine (mabe and i). We were used in living our lives not having him around physically for a long time.

I stopped working out in a gym this year, but I will definitely go back.

Mabe has grown a lot. She became more independent now, which I am really thankful for.

I had a chance to travel to Baguio once again, together with Mabe.

I learned how to drive this year. 

However, I became more isolated. It's by choice. Staying at home more and not really socializing often. I decided to keep some friends and let go some. This was because of the life lesson's and realities that bit me for the past few years. 

Life is good. Life teaches us lessons we should consider learning from. Life gives us a series of choices to choose from. Life allows us to become who we are. 

Thank you 2013 for the blessings and the challenges. Thank you for giving me the chance to live the life...a very meaningful Life.
