Whoa, I haven't updated my blog in a while
for I have had a lot on my plate lately. So as I sit here, while the outside
world is into vast changes and noise is everywhere, I subscribe with the thought of
writing again. Meanwhile, I have this realization that everyday in my life, I learn a lot of new things which for sure I
never get tired of acquiring, and I'm always looking up the answers to the most
random questions that pop into my mind. So I have a lot of it right now. The
things that I love, desire, hate, changes that life has to offer. All of it
comes up like a splash to me. I love seeing people. The things that people do,
the way they think, how mind blowing why we all have different stories. A
smoker with a gum in his mouth, while watching the people who pass him by, a
burly man with the stench of the sun and tobacco, but when he pays he has a
picture of his daughter in his wallet. I love watching my nephew and nieces
dancing the Oppa gangnam style music fever. Little things like that. When my
girlfriend makes faces, my Tita Norma nagging, Bebang’s laughter, barking of Bingo
(our tiny dog). All things & people are wonderful. I don’t even want to think deeply. All of
those wonders just come out naturally. It
has always been a fact that our whole life goes with transitions and changes. First things first: LIFE. Well, I love life
and there are lots of reasons why I do. So the main and basic reason for me
then is LOVE. To me love is the deepest core of what we are. It radiates out
with our attention, at whatever we fix our loving focus on. When we engage
anything with love, be it a person or thing, we feel joy, and create joy in
equal measure, it really is what makes the world go 'round. I am
talking about relationship now which concerns LOVE of course.
RELATIONSHIPS are the equivalent of
getting a PhD in life; it’s a never ending process of learning. Falling in love
and being in love are two different things. The falling part is the
roller coaster ride; the being in love piece is more like a bicycle ride.
It’s a bit slower, and there are some harder hills, and sometimes partners are
helping each other push up the bigger hills, sometimes you need to walk it, and
then you can coast down the other sides together. Gratitude is so
important. If you're not grateful for those who love you and if you don't feel
as if you're appreciated, those relationships won't work. It's definitely so
essential to be appreciative of your partner.
In this so called life of mine, I am thankful
of my FAMILY. Just being able to wake up to the sun shining in the morning at
home means a lot to me. Every breath I take reminds me I’m still here and still
have much to enjoy. The incredible beauties that surround us if we look and
just knowing the difference between being alive and living. Living is what we do
between being born and dying. Living is easy, so easy that we do it in our
sleep. Being alive takes more effort but being alive is the better choice
because it is a gift, it is a gift to embrace while we are able. Some days I am
more alive than others but other days it is all I can do to just live. There
are days when noticing the world around me is difficult. There are the days
when one moment blurs into the next and into the next and on and on. Yes I am
alive! I appreciate what God has given me. There is so much positivity that flickers.
Life is so beautiful if we stop for a minute and appreciate and thank God for
all we have and just smile. Always spreading the love and happiness. You know
what? My most favorite things are the smiles and laughter I get from the people
with whom I touched their lives. And that brings positivity in to my life. I am
here; I exist to say something, to touch other people’s lives. We are social
beings, and although we all fall in different places on the introversion – extroversion
scale, we all need to have that sense of connection to other members of our
tribe. While some of that connection can come from having conversations with
others, touch also plays an important role in human communication. I just love
being connected to others. LIFE is amazing! It is so important to ENJOY NOW. Those
are the two words that I am most grateful for in the English Language... so
simple but so true. We only have now and the best feeling in the world is to
enjoy so why would we torture ourselves and live any other way? We can enjoy
the journey every day. I have been blessed to have lived a pretty long life of
experiences and adventure and I too start to take for granted those experiences
I love. I consider small things, they will not necessarily get you on Oprah,
but they will make a big difference in someone's life. Regardless of the
turmoil in the world as a whole, we are always striving to find the way to make
our mark, to make a difference, to leave the greatest impact. So live and be
alive! Enjoy life, enjoy now!
Four days from now, I’ll be celebrating
my birthday. I just want to say thank you all for touching my life. THANK GOD
for this life! LOVELOTS!
