July 20, 2010

Am thankful for these blessings:

1. Rain. It cooled the atmosphere, which made the rest of the day pleasant and not humid. It also cleaned the earth and replenished the underground streams.

2. Strength. Went to the wet market early this morning to get a week's supply of fish (I have since stopped eating red meat) and veggies. When I carry heavy objects my hip bones protest!

3. Cookbooks. Tried a new fish dish today...sinanglay. I've had enough of fried fish and fish paksiw, eeeww! Wrapped the fish in mustasa leaves instead of pechay.

4. Appetite. Two weeks ago I got sick. I had no appetite even when the fever had subsided. Even water tasted bitter! Now I can eat again, and heartily too!

5. My ca2020 community. My coaches texted me that they will support my product presentation on August 9 to ensure that I close a deal!

6. Bank "Express Lane". The Tellers were serving clients 56 and 57 when I came in to pay my bills. I got #76 and it was 3 P.M. already. I had been standing for around 7 minutes when the Manager appeared and got my bank transaction...express lane for the elderly, hahaha!

7. Downtime. Late afternoon and early evening are downtimes for me...time for prayers and for thinking about anything, just thinking. A habit I've had since college.

8. Bonding Time. Opportunity to bond even if briefly with somebody who I pray I'll learn to appreciate for the what she is and not how I want her to be.

9. Peace and Quiet. Late this pm, I came to a decision to start this blog. It took a while to think of a theme and a title... and here it is!

10. Water!. In the bathroom. Thanks to Noel, the maintenance man of our subdivision, there's water again flowing in my bathroom!
