DAY 6: Simple Joys.

To be able to have a good night sleep after a long and inspiring day. Rest is indeed a gift that should never be taken for granted. The joy of being able to wake up to a new day of another week. Another week to inspire and be inspired. The joy of waking up beside someone (not what you think it is…haha. =P) I’ll never wake up alone as long as my roommates are here. The joy of being able to commute to and from work and say the words “bayad po” and “para”. That reminds me that I am an inch closer to master my “tagalong” linguahe. J An inch. *insert nod here*. The joy of being able to arrive at the office early and safe for my roommates’ have their weekly Monday meetings. Busy people, taking care of GK’s partnerships, of our generous partners, and finding more partners who’re willing to join in nation-building and in this crazy and thrilling  ride towards Vision 2024 (uplifting 5 million Filipino families from poverty). The joy of sipping my hot “tablea” drink and onion-flavored crackers straight from Cebu, and personally funded by the Balatayo family. Thanks Ma! The joy of arriving in an eventful office filled with the hustle and bustle of ever passionate and enthusiastic GK people. I will forever be amazed of these people’s energy and zest for life. The joy of sharing a story or two after the weekend, lunch or even dinner together, and the ultimate joy of being able to laugh til your tummy hurts and tears start to well in your eyes. Despite the weight of their work that the whole country, or when the right time comes, the world, that is waiting upon, it never is a burden since everyone is up for sharing the load. Passion indeed fuels force and vigor. Joyful people who never fails to enjoy the simple joys along the journey, knowing when to stop and rest, and to give their all and their best especially to the least. Its simple joys such as these that gives life more meaning. It’s simple joys such as these that makes life worth-living. Take time and take in these simple joys. Get carried away in the pleasure of enjoying the simplicity that life brings and you’ll never ran out of reasons to smile and blessings to be grateful for.

    Mura pudd ug ingun-ana ang scene nako this week Ate May. Going to the CFC center every morning to collect registration for PYC. hehe. Btaw, when you know that what you are doing is for God and for others and when you know that you are never alone in what you are doing, no matter how tiring it may be, you would always find true joy in it.
