A Brand New Year

Before I go on with my hopes and promises for 2005, let me first recount how I spent my Christmas holidays. I could really say that it was one of the best christmases ever. I was both materially and spiritually blessed. I got to spend a long vacation with my family that it actually saddened me when I had to go back to work on January.

All of my December weekends were fully-booked with events. All I could say that it was an awesome christmas. Togetherness of my whole family was a major factor, then there's reunion with old friends, the wedding of my bestfriend, and there's also the excitement and fun during Christmas eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. The Pearl farm experience which happened on the second day of the year was really tiresome because hubby and I had to take care of the kids ourselves. But it was one of the best get-aways. It was really bonding time for my family and of course with my closest relatives as well. That was also the day I realized that time spent with my kids is really priceless.

For the year 2005, I didn't make my yearly new year's resolution list because most of time I end up not keeping it. But hopefully, this year I'll try to be a better person--- a better wife and mother. I made so many plans for my family and I do hope that at the end of the year I will be able to accomplish most of it-- if not all of it.

Dear God, please make 2005 a brighter and happier year for my family. Continue to bless us as you have always did in the past years.
