No to Halloween

Today I am grateful for waking up in the morning and for the pizza and coffee for breakfast; for being able to go to work and have the privilege to help others. I am grateful for my senses to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. I am simply grateful.

be happy then.

"Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content." -Philippians 4:11

So...shoot the moon!

I'm sharing my happy song! I feel so light each time I listen to it. Maybe because it sounds so dreamy and makes me think of different seasons. It's a perfect song whenever I am driving in the countryside.



Have a dream-filled AND dream-fulfilled week everyone ;)

On Servanthood

Today I am grateful for God's love and forgiveness. Lord, may it be the only desire of my heart to do what is pleasing to You. May You bless the coming week especially for the ones I love and for those who have no one to pray for them and in great need of your divine love and mercy. Amen.

"The greatest among  you must be your servant." - Matthew 23:11

Of Fights & Devotions

Today I am grateful that whenever me and my husband have disagreements and misunderstandings, it results in a deeper love & understanding between us. :)

Tip: Never go to bed angry!

"Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.  Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." - Collosians 3:18-19

For Saturday Travels, I am sharing a picture of the Minore Basilica del Sto. Nino in Cebu, Philippines. 

The church, where the image of the miraculous Holy Child Jesus is kept, was built in 1739

Devotion to the Sto. Nino is very dear to us Cebuanos.

The outside prayer grounds for the thousands of devotees who visit the church every year

Simplicity

Today I am grateful for another weekend & a productive/simplified week that passed. :)

Merci Jeudi!

Today I am grateful I will be moving  to a 2-bedroom apartment next week! I am so excited to apply my interior decorating talent ;) hehe! The great thing about this place is that it is walking distance to shops, restaurants, a park, and a car wash (not that we will be walking to wash our car hahaha!) It is also 5 mins away to/from my office and the church. Plus there's more! We will also be nearer places like Savannah and St. Augustine. Sigh! Truly this is a wonderful blessing. God, you did not fail to grant the desires of my heart, again :)

Thursdays or "Jeudi"  will be anything related to French. My infatuation with the French culture or all things French began when I watched the movie Amelie. Today it so happened that I discovered another movie by Audrey Tautou entitled Beautiful Lies. It is funny but I don't think it compares to Amelie. I LOVE Audrey's red lipstick, red fingernails, and her SBD & red shoes at the end of movie. Oh so chic!

"Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu'il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle." - John 3:16

Today for the Occupational Therapy spotlight, I would like to share some information about energy conservation techniques, the OT way.

Energy Conservation is defined as "any technique, device or practical strategy that you can implement that will keep you from spending more energy on daily activities that take away the joy of life." - Grace Young

No more nut-hoarding

Here are a few tips:

• Pace activities and spread them throughout the day/week.
•  Plan the day in advance so that you won’t feel rushed.
•  Break up tasks into small steps and rest in between.
• Delegate tasks to other people if possible.
• Do not rush! Rest before becoming exhausted.
• Learn to let go of guilt caused by not finishing a task due to fatigue. There are other days.
• Organize your workspace.
• Alternate easy and difficult tasks.
