Turned 45 this Month

Happy 45th to me!


A couple of weeks before I turned 45, my health has been challenged. Overthinking, anxiety, fear and worry overcame me, and it took a toll on my health even more BIG time.

But if there was something good that came out of me being unwell the past weeks is that I appreciated my husband even more for caring for me and looking after me even when he was also not feeling well himself at that time. Such a selfless husband.

I also realized the importance of slowing down and listening to my body, and to not allow stress to consume me - to give more value to exercise and spiritual time (my relationship with God). I also felt the love, care and concern of my family and some genuine friends who always kept checking on me, praying for me, and wishing me well. For all that I have been through and am still going through, I entrust them all to God.

At this point, I realized that there are no permanent friends, just as there are no permanent enemies. At 45, I declare that coffee and I are no longer friends!

the need for a dining room set

When I was a child, my mom used to tell me that she really believed that dreams can come true and that if I really pray and wish to have something with all of my heart, I just might get it at the right time. What she had wished for at that time was a beautiful house with an orchard. We would take a stroll together and then we would stare at the exact house that she liked and then wished long and hard for it. Even though that dream never got fulfilled during her lifetime, I believe that her dream was more than fulfilled UP there. Well, anyway, even though our house was nothing like the house that my mom dreamed about having, I still am thankful that we have settled here. My dream is for us to finally be able to make the improvements on it someday. Also, I've been wanting to get us a new Dining Room Set. I've seen the need to own one because when my in-laws or my family would come over, we could not get them properly seated during dinner time. It seems like it will take awhile

married life - how's your listening skills?

Many times I wonder if there is really some truth to that thing called "7-year itch" in marriage. I heard it is that stage when couples will purportedly experience too much familiarity with each other that would somehow cause a serious stir in their relationship. Like most people, that is not something that I look forward to happening in the next 2 years. Of course, I would like to believe that there is no such thing as a "7-year itch". Without sounding too presumptuous, I asked someone I know who's been married for more than 20 years if she has experienced that stage of her married life, although I am aware that not all marriages/relationships are the same. She kind of told me that it's normal for couples to have differences despite the love they have for each other. She told me that right now, though, the challenges in their married life started popping up again now that her husband appears to have lost the sharpness of his hearing. Many times, their arg
