Year 2008....year of Endless Possibilities...

-
As we ushered in the New Year last night, the number on the calendar switched from 7 to 8. This is not a mere changing of a digit but is an event which creates unlimited possibilities and opportunities. Why is this phenomena especially strong on this year? Our sages teach us that the number 7 is the definition of the natural Divine order of things. The world was created in 7 days. We have a 7 day week and so on., The number eight – 8 – represents going beyond the natural boundaries. It represents going beyond our natural - or more likely, going beyond our perceived limitations. Turn “8” on its side and what do you get. The symbol for infinity: So on a practical level, what does this mean to you? The greatest challenge we all have is to get out of our own way. Quoting a line from the Declaration of Independence: “We are all endowed by our Creator with Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” But we are also endowed with tremendous talents and abilities to help make the world a better place. We all have an abundance of gifts that remain dormant in our lives. Now is the time to wake these concealed talents up. Look at your life. What talents do you have that aren’t being used? Start using them. What gifts have you been given that you have hidden deep inside of you. It’s time that they be revealed. The number “8” shows us that we have unlimited and endless possibilities in this world – and that we have to break through our own self imposed ceilings to get there.

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
