things I’ve learned looking back at the past year:
how time flies. And it seems to tick by even faster every year.
**
it gets busier year after year, no matter how hard you get into the Christmas spirit. Your inaanak/favorite niece or nephew list grows longer every year, and you really don’t have a choice.
**
how do people celebrate Christmas? is it still the same as last year?
**
I know now how it feels to sacrifice something for someone and realize that person has the complete freedom to either appreciate your gift, reject it, be thankful, or return the one thing that you ask. I have the slightest idea now how God must feel about his sacrifice.
**
a glimpse of what real love means. and it hurt most of the time. kinda like nails being hammered through your hands.
**
everything I’ve gone through this year have not been coincidences. to learn from the mistakes and build on the successes is my next big challenge this new year.
**
you can gain friends as fast as losing them.
**
alcohol is the biggest traitor.
**
you can always be successful just as long as you are faithful to Him. but even then, when we are infidels, he cannot deny himself and be one among us. I can never get this thing about grace and mercy, but he shows it best. This hasn’t been my best year but I guess he has his reasons why im still standing up.
**
getting what you want or need is a matter of financial management. I am no guru in the area but my secret? microsoft excel.
**
some good things never last, but some do. It’s all a matter of sifting through the ones that do and doing away with those that don’t. I just have to learn how to be thankful for them and move on.

to be continued…
