Hope is an effulgent thing

Don’t lose it.

New Beginning

Looking at the orange sky

Finally turning blue

The moon still rises.

Blue Sky

Blue, blue sky

Sheltering amidst the blue

Clouds seldom pass by

Feels like summer is here.

Hope Still

Since I adapted Hope as my word for the year that will guide and inspire me to do better, here’s one more.

Culled from the net.

Hope

I chose this word Hope to guide me throughout the year. Hope is something we long for, something that let things happen. Coupled with prayers, it is simply one of the best things we can have and do. Hope is a feeling of expectation, a desire of something we really need to achieve.

Tomorrow, I’ll be back to The Medical City Clinic in Pasig to get the results of my numerous laboratory tests and hopefully to see my endocrinologist. I forgot to ask the information desk if she will have her scheduled clinic tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed that my laboratory tests will be okay. Praying I don’t need to add more medications. My maintenance meds are for a lifetime now so you could just imagine how it would affect me in the long run.

I have a chat with Nissa a few minutes ago. It’s Obet’s 50th birthday on January 29 and as her birthday gift to him, they will have a week-long trip to Seoul, Korea starting January 25. They will be back by the end of January. It’s just the two of them. She said she arranged a package, mid-range since she does not have time to do a DIY. A bit costly though since it includes hotel accommodation and tours. I am happy for both of them.

I find consolation and peace of mind attending daily masses online. I love how the priest presiders share their homilies and reflections on the daily gospel readings.

And here’s something we ought to remember:

 

– hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.” — Jonas Salk

New Year Resolution?

It’s more like something that would guide me all the year through.

An online friend and fellow blogger recently posted her reflections by guiding words that she follows every year. I was inspired, I told her I will make the same thing this year and I chose the word Hope.

As briefly described, hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for certain things to happen, it is an optimistic state of mind that is best on expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life.

Hope is cherishing what we desire, an expectation of what we desire – with confidence. Coupled with prayers, hope can give us something to look forward to. When it’s meant to be, it will happen. When I was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 2009, I lived on prayers and hope that I will get well setting aside the harmful effects of chemotherapy, I embraced it hoping that I will get well. And I did, thank God.

Several years later, I found myself with so many health issues that I need to address. And here again, I am hoping that eventually I will get well.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙇🥰🥰🥰

Still Under Renovation

It really takes lots of guts and patience to renovate a home. Aside from the financial aspect, moving things around is tiring. Yesterday, painting inside the house was finished, finally regained the use of my bedroom. I put back our books in the newly painted shelf and segregated Nissa’s at the same time, there are still four bagfuls of hers here. I didn’t bother filing them per author because there are so many. Maybe when I have time in the future, I will do so.

One of our carpenters accompanied me early this morning to buy tiles for flooring. It will be delivered Saturday morning. It is quite a long job to remove the old vinyl tiles. What a lot of garbage! I am having the housing of our water tank painted today. The two gates are done too but the ceiling of the garage need changing plus the painting of the walls outside. I would have loved our concrete fence painted too but my budget is limited. Maybe in the next few months.

It’s quite nice to see the walls so clean and looking fresh but it is no fun seeing all your things scattered around.

Here’s how my bedroom looks now.

Our accent wall is blue, the rest is ecru, doors, cabinets and ceiling are plain white. Semi-gloss for doors and cabinets, flat paint for ceiling.
