Year In Review: A Look Back At 2014, A Peek At 2015

Picture taken last January 02, 2015 at Sabang Beach during our trip to Baler, Aurora

All endings are a chance to rest, to breathe, to reflect on the conclusion of the journey in preparation for the new one.

Goodbye 2014…Hello 2015! Another year has ended and a new one is already unfolding. And I am trying to write my very first year in review… But just like with every first, I am struggling. I’d been meaning to start it as early as December, but it’s the busiest season for completing the Christmas list, parties, reunions, so I stalled. Then, we took advantage of the long weekend after New Year and went on a 3-day road trip, so it was put off again.

Daily Log: Every Sunset is God’s Signature

This picture was taken last January 03, 2015 somewhere in Nueva Ecija on our way home from Baler, Aurora

I love sunrise

But I love sunset more

It never fails to bring me

a feeling of peace

...of contentment

Every time the sun set

Into the horizon

It signifies a promise

...a hope

That dawn will come

And the sun will rise again

Daily Log: Beatitudes of Marriage

Blessed are the husband and wife who continue to be affectionate, considerate, and loving after the wedding bells have ceased ringing.

Blessed are the husband and wife who are as polite and courteous to one another as they are to their friends.

My Daily Log

I inserted the ‘Daily Log” in the JADspirits Blog last September 03, 2014 to accommodate a very short post entitled Daily Log: Eco-Friendly Dining Table. And in 4 months, with 21 posts, it became a venue for

…my thoughts and ramblings
…the old chain emails popular during the 90s (which I saved until now)
…anything on the social media that affected me
…inspirational quotes from writers I admire
…passage from the Bible
…small moments with big impact

My work station...at home

The words may not be entirely mine but the picture in every log will be of the things and the places we visited…and that mean something to me, to us.

…waters and rivers and seas
…sands, lands and mountains and skies
…roads and bridges and pathways and stairways
…flowers and bushes and trees
…anything that caught our eyes

You are welcome to comment or to share your thoughts. Suggestion of a quote, a post, an article…anything under the sun that can be a source of inspiration will be most welcome.

Daily Log: One Thing At A Time. A Plan For 2015

One thing at a time.
One mountain to climb.
One problem to face
One debt to erase.
One habit to break.
One risk to take.
One dream to fulfill
One part of God's will.
One more chance to make right
One more reason to fight.
For when it's all done
You are the one
Who will stand tall and say.
"I did it my way!"
One thing at a time.
