The first month of the year has been a very busy month for me that's why I am blogging just now. Sorry for not posting anything about the coming another year. (Merry Rose Guzman, sorry na. HAHA! Ito na promise ko sa'yo).
Having said of another year, as I am always saying, each day, week, month or year is another beginning and another blessing to be thankful for. Last year wasn't that good on its first half but it is with great faith that allowed me to understand life more and helped me surpass all the shortcomings that I've encountered.
I will make this post as simple as I can since there are lots of things that I want to share.
Day 1 of 2012 was an awesome one because I was able to be with my mom and brother. Simple celebrations are truly those memorable one. Having simple dinner and watching movie were our activities last New Year. To many, these are just simple things but for me, these are those things are priceless. My family will always be number one in my heart, next to God.
As this year starts, another start for one of my angels also happened. My friend Geraldyn Jano is now Mrs. Geraldyn Jano-Amul! I am very happy that she will now face another stage in her life, a life with a lifetime commitment. I may have not seen the ceremony and the reception but I can assure her that my heart will always be there in her every step in life. I can't wait to see their bouncing baby boy!
The start of my 2012 may have been great but God never stops of making me feel so loved. He made another New Year, the Chinese New Year, the best day of this year (so far) by opening a door for my family to be together even for a day. I don't know how to put my happiness into words that day. All I know is that my heart is really filled with so much joy and gratefulness. Thankyou Lord, for all of these.
The start of 2012 has been so great! Today is its last day and I just want to share how happy my January was. God really knows when are the best days for each happening in our life, we just have to follow Him.
I will end this by sharing you this simple activity that my mom shared to me last night. Please do cooperate. It will take just a few minutes of your time.
Close your eyes. Think that you're going into a wake. Lights and flowers filled the chapel. There are people mourning and talking as you are walking near the coffin. As you look into the coffin, you saw your face. Now, what do you want to hear from those people who are talking about you? Slowly, open your eyes.
I guess, you already have at least few realizations in your mind and I will leave it to you. Let me just share some of my realizations after doing this activity:
- We don't know when our life will be taken from us so we must always think that each day's our last. Some will say, Live life to the fullest. As for me, Live life to the fullest as long as what you're on the right path.
- Doing good, whether someone is looking at us or not, is the best way for us to live without worries in our lives. Always remember, there may be times that you will think that no one is looking after you but stick to your mind that there is always Someone above who is looking in everything that we are doing; Someone who can give us the greatest punishment of all.
- Being good isn't that hard. We just have to follow our hearts and think that we don't need anything in return. Doing good and following what we know is right will make our heart feel light. PROMISE!
This month has been so great and I am looking forward for another month. I know that God has plans for each of us. I will always believe that our lives are already planned just before we were born.
Do what's right.
Love generously.
Live freely.
xoxo
