12 Days of New Year

Dust from the new year fireworks has barely settled. Christmas decors have just been taken down. I have yet to write my resolutions. And the first month of the year is almost half done!

Do I have to fill all 365 pages?!?

2011 seemed like a blur. I'm still trying to recall the high points. And also taking note of the low points (they definitely outnumber the former!) as I try to map out my life for 2012. Even bought a limited edition planner from my dearest alma mater to aid my cause. (It's so thick that I was kinda overwhelmed by the sheer thought of writing down my goals for the year. Said goals fitted nicely in one page with size 20 font. So I think this little black book is gonna be more of a journal. And most likely a ledger of my meager modest finances.) To sum it up, I'm thankful to be alive and well. And I'm glad 2011 is over! Haha!

So the year started with cleaning out closets, boxing old toys, throwing out pieces of paper stuck in dashboards and desks, removing expired food from the ref and such. Like a cleansing ritual to invite blessings into our life. And it worked too! With His grace,  I'm on the brink of starting a dream of a job. My daughter Nana got better grades for 3rd grading. My mobile carrier gave me a nice Android phone. And just this morning, my credit card bill got a negative total statement balance! First time ever. I was blown away. Life is good. For which I am only but a mere servant doing His bidding.

I thank Him the moment my eyes open to a new day,

and before my eyes close to sleep at night I pray,
for love and health, and showing me His way.
