Recharging and journaling

One day process

I am so glad and relieved that I was able to process all the requirements I need, in just one day.

Doing the "write" thing while waiting for BDO to open and to accomplish the checklist of Clinica Manila. 

It's been a long time since I sat here.

I sat down for a few minutes before going home.

Around 2 pm.

Reassuring words 070216

Before going to my class, I always get my breakfast at Mcdo.  As I lifted my head and looked forward, I saw these play of words (typography).

Happy.

Smile.

Being bold is good for the soul.

In the right direction.

Happy.

I still have an old phone card from Dubai.  We used to have a lot of this but it was my favorite and I kept it as a souvenir; then later on, I used it as a bookmark. 

Today, I put a perfect quotation that I find perfect for the butterfly image.

A peaceful morning

This is why I love waking up extra early. 3am and 4am? :)

It gives me a certain peace and calm I need to start a productive day.

This around 530am.

Freezing moments

Find beauty in everything.

Happy.

I am happy.  It took a while for me to appreciate all the blessings.  But hey!  

I am blessed.  I am grateful.  I am complete.  I am living a beautiful life.

I don't claim it's perfect because it will never be.  AND IT"S FINE.

With all the beautiful blessings happening to me,

I couldn't fully appreciate them.

There I was, still wishing for what others have.

And yesterday, it changed.  Thank You God for changing my heart.

Finally, I have realized how gracious God is to me.  He performs miracle in my life

ALL THE TIME.

He's made my heart whole again.  He's given me a brand new heart.

God is one by one making my heart's hopes a reality.

Trust in His love and unmerited favor

Feeding the birds

Made me joyful yesterday. :)
