Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
How do you measure, measure a year...
To declare that 2015 was definitely my year is an understatement. If there were losses and disappointments, there were more gains and joys.
Two trips to Boracay, one to Clark, one to Cebu, and one to Bangkok (which I never expected), courtesy of Insular Life; my daughter getting a job; my son capping 3rd grade by ranking first in the class; my car Christian Grey finally getting the repair he so deserved after a minor damage late December; trips to Baguio and Tagaytay with the family; reuniting with good old friends, gaining new ones and welcoming new people in my life; kicking and quitting old and bad habits; losing weight and finally winning the battle against the bulge; hosting and being a part of successful company events such as the Awards Night and Christmas Party; getting recognitions and an unexpected promotion - I simply could not ask for more. It would be too much.
Other 2015 highlights include being a principal sponsor in the wedding of my first godchild; going to Pico de Loro for the first time; seeing my high school mentors; seeing relatives again after a long time; keeping in touch with friends; having more "me" times; unwinding after office with colleagues; having a new grandnephew, Liam; Caehl taking piano lessons and joining a recital; attending weddings; watching my favorite basketball teams; being with people I love, and doing what I love.
There's so much to thank for, so much to remember and be happy for. Thank You, Lord, for my family, my household, and my friends and loved ones. Thank You for the good health, and for keeping us safe and together. Thank You for the company I work for, that lets me do what I do best, and lets me be who I want to be. Thank You, Lord for everything, for Your infinite blessings, for all the opportunities that came and will come my way. Some of my prayers remained unanswered, I know now why. You sent me something else, and gave me more, more than I deserved.
Thank you, 2015. I am truly blessed. Thank you to the people who have been a part of it. I may have lost some, but I am a winner in more ways than one. I found some a little bit late but I will always take comfort in the belief that you meet the people you're supposed to, when the time is right.
Thank you for coming into my life. I always believed in the goodness of things, and that there is something good in every thing that happens. Thank you for being the best thing. When I think of this, I thank God and I can only think of happiness, and gratitude. And my heart is full of joy.
Hello 2016! May the good Lord continue to guide and bless us all.
