Livin' Lovin' Life :)

“IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER”

“IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER” BY THE LATE ERMA BOMBECK

“IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER”

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

There would have been more “I love you’s”.. more “I’m sorry’s”…

but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute…look at it and really see it…live it…and never give it back.

“Stop sweating the small stuff. Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what.

Instead, let’s cherish the relationships we have with those who Do love us. Let’s think about what God HAS blessed us with.

And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then it’s gone. :)”

Pre-Valentines Date!

Taken last Sunday! Just outside our church at San Lorenzo Parish. Proceeds go to the fundraising campaign of the Youth Ministry to re-build their  supplies for parish kids in the area. I too have small ways of helping! :) Not only that, many were also encouraged to partake in  this simple but amazing way after we spread the word. :)  Good Job SLRP PYM! :)

I welcome back myself!!

It has been a long time since I last posted and visited my beloved site! Don't worry though, I would not forgive myself if I fully forget about it. I have been ghastly occupied lately, the past months have been a whirlwind, tremendously. Aye, it was then I felt bombarded and punched back and forth with the wicked occurrences that unfortunate things happen. It however, drew out great strength within me that I never knew I had. People have been very difficult to deal with but I was very grateful that the assertiveness that I lack was pushed to come out with the help of Krey.

Sometimes I wonder why do i meet such people who gives me headaches when all i want is their responsibility to be done effectively; but lo and behold, I now have come to realize that as life goes on.. such associations are not 100% out of your way. from time to time, you will meet and find yourself ought to deal with them, and all you can do is know what works and doesn't work for you, and have a clear basis or foundation of the things acceptable or unacceptable to you and stick to it. And if I was the same very same sensitive person, who constantly worries about what other people might say or feel to the point I deviate from what is the right thing to do, I wouldn't be more content than now. Key is, if your confidence is low, don't base your value on what someone else thinks or says about you. Finding your strength from within enables others to see the real you. :)

Cheerio!

Love, Margaret
