Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving Day, my former partners at work came to visit me and Mendell.  Ever since I left the company, I have kept in touch with these lovely folks.  It was so refreshing to see them and I had the flashbacks of all the kind things that they had done to make my job easier!  I miss our collaboration and had longed to work with them again.  

I reflected on all the good things that happened to me this year and I couldn't be more grateful.

I thank God for:
(1) My husband and our loving marriage
(2) Blessing us with Mendell
(3) My family 
(4) Best friends & good friends
(5) Good rest during my pregnancy period
(6) Breast milk
(7) My unexpected new job
(8) All the good people around me 
(9) My gifts & talents
(10) New perspective about life - Everyday counts!

According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Love is Kind

So I went jogging and insisted on continuing even when the heavens gave me clue that it'll pour anytime soon.  It rained and I was drenched.  Since it was getting late, I had to walked on by to get home.  While I was at the traffic junction, a contruction worker sheltered me with his umbrella for a short distance.  I was really touched by his kindness.  Thank you, Lord for showing your love through the people around me.
