On Being Grateful

We have a lot to be thankful for, and we should continue to be appreciative... being so makes your life more meaningful.

Family gathering truly constitute a light feeling of hominess...

Couple of weekend back was spent with the T/G family, celebrating Tita C and Cousin F's birthdays --- mother and daughter tandem. Day after that {Monday} spent with the V family at Lego Water Park... it was nephew D's 6th birthday.

Even if those times were cut short due to work schedules, it was fun catching up.

Good friend couple M and P of This is IT Photography pays us a visit and stayed in our humble home. Even if their primary purpose coming down in SD was to cover a wedding event, the non-working times spent with us were full of craziness and laughter. True great friends when put together = awesomeness!!!... "We miss you guys... the girls woke up that evening you left looking for you by the way".

Was able to spent father's day as one family... for hubby and my set up, working full time opposite days, spending a "day off" together is surely a big deal.

I am glad I am back using our kitchen ... new dishwasher baby. We seldom use our dishwasher anyway, but when it broke down i felt the importance of it especially those days that i have piled up dishes and no time to manually wash them.

I am back photographing... and it feels good.

What are you guys thankful for?

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Lao Tzu

I cannot believe it's only a week and I am back...

I received a lot of responses {replies, personal messages, and emails} regarding my plan of hibernation in the blog world and reading each one of them made me realize I somehow bring a wee bit influence in their daily lives and taking away that slight incentive makes me feel prejudiced and self-centered.

So, here I am back into my intermittent journal, updates, and personal commentary or anything conceivable under the sun.

I have a lot of silly updates but I feel like I want to hear from everyone first...

What's up in your end???
