2010

Just before 2010 runs to a close, I think it's time for thanksgiving.

- That i have grown so much this year, mentally, spiritually.
I feel much wiser and more mature than my 29 years. What a blessing.
They say the only thing that makes all mistakes worthwhile is what you learnt/gained from these episodes. In this vein, I surely have gained much.

2. Of course, the only one that grew wasn't me.
Marco turned 3 this year and continues to amaze me everyday with his kindness and cuteness.
I personally know and have come across so many types of kids - rich ones, spoilt ones, good ones, confident ones, super-adorable ones, poorer ones and most unfortunately, intellectually slower ones or less healthy ones. It makes me feel more blessed that God has given me a healthy child, so full of promise and love in his soul.


3. My mum's helper.
Without her, i wouldn't be able to resume running. Or be able to work in peace. Or to have somewhere i can always 'deposit' Marco at when i am on the verge of insanity or collapse. Or simply when i just need to go shopping/get a pedicure / grab a coffee and solo time. She is indeed special and VERY IMPORTANT in my life.


4. Some friends. Many have disappointed, but clearly, some precious gems have shone through and lit up my life just for who they are and how much they care. It touches my heart.


5. My home - it brings me peace just living here. Serene, green and just peaceful all the time. I love it.


6. My job - i can't say i love it, but this year especially, it has been such a great thing that i have this work that fits my hours so perfectly. I am acutely aware very very few people can say this about their work. In fact, i know of no such other person.


7. God. There is no one second that I didn't need him.
