In less than a month, the year 2011 will be over! And like what I have been doing the past years, I will again look back on how the year went. To recall the major blessings as a way of thanking our Lord; and recalling all the trials as a way of learning from them.
For me, the year 2011, has been a good year for us. It was in fact a better year than 2010.
It was a year when I finally had the chance to become a full-time wife and full time mother to two kids. A rare chance, opportunity, asked or wished by many. I learned a lot and I think, I grew as a person as well, from this opportunity.
I was able to finish my Certificate course, which I thought was impossible, even before I started with it.
It was a good year for Alvin was well, as he continued to do well in his work. The Lord giving us little assurances, through his boss and his other workmates that he has the potential to improve on his present work.
Liam continues to grow in different aspects and he is slowly graduating from the testing stage :-)
Sam turned one last month.
We were able to go on holidays in the Philippines, side trip to Cebue and celebrate Sam's birthday with family.
Generally, it was a good year for us and the kids too, health wise.
Financially, of course, it was good. It was better. Again, we don't have millions. But what we have is enough. We feel abundant because we appreciate what we have. We get to eat what we like and we get to buy what we like. Little extras we are very thankful for.
We had little trials every now and then, but the blessings of our Lord outnumber them. I can easily overlook at these trials.
Thank you Lord for the year 2011.
My family again, looks forward to what awaits us next year.
Hopefully, it will even be a better year for us...career-wise, financially, health wise, and of course, family wise.
Thank you 2011!
