Well, ain’t life grand?!  Our blessings are pouring in…. PLEASE KEEP ‘EM COMING!!!!

You might have guessed already.  Yep! Hubby passed his driving test and now “L” no more!

Thanks to all who joined me in prayers & wishes!!!   Very very much appreciated! :martini:  CHEERS!!!

With these blessing to start this year… the rest of the year is looking amazingly beautiful!!! 

If you are Pinoy, you will know the term “malapit nang mawala sa kalendaryo” (“close to being out of the calendar”). This is somewhat a joke that we say when we are asked our age.

Last 22nd of January (from 19th till the following weekend actually <grin>), I celebrated my 31st year in this world. When I was younger, I thought 30 was old. I guess when you earn more years in life, you simply see the world differently.

So the question is, How does it feel like to be 31?

Without giving it a thought, I would say I don’t feel older than when I was 25. hehehe

But, when I do stop and give it more thought… I am happy to say that I feel more content, more certain of what I need and want, furthermore, I would like to believe more mature than I was in my 20s. I wouldn’t say that I would like to slow down just because I feel content but actually, I feel more driven to accomplish things that I only dreamed of before. Not the basic material things, I am looking further down the future. I considerably developed a great interest in savings, investments and thinking with extra income in mind. I guess now is the time to really think about this since our next steps will be to support our own family and maintain the lifestyle we have learned to love.

It is only today that I had a realization that made me “nod” to myself in agreement that so far Life has been good All in All. I have so much to be thankful for and so much lessons that I have learned from (and still learning from.) I have so much I aim to achieve this year alone. Some ambitious. Some simple. All worthwhile.

I am pleased to look back and say, I am contented to be where I am. I am exactly where I should be.

I would not trade anything to be changed for they have made me who I am now. I may not be perfect but I know I am God’s masterpiece in progress.

I am blessed with such beautiful beings to surround me. Those who have been filtered and remained true throughout it all. Quality than quantity. I admit I do not need nor can tolerate too many :p.

31 is just a number. To me, 31 years is a wealth of memories and blessings.
