New Community Pizza House

There’s a new pizza parlor five blocks away from the house and since I just got my salary from my work I told my kids that I will treat them so we can have a taste of the new store’s pizza, fruit shakes and other foodies. So here I am again thinking of new restaurant and foods while I should be finding some quick weight loss remedy for my gained pounds. It’s hard not to think of foods because my kids have no classes today and when they’re all here at the house we’re all thinking of some good and new snacks. Sometimes we cook or bake some muffins or ordinary pizza made from big bread but now we want to try the new pizza store of our neighbor. It’s just a 2-minute walk from the house and my kids are all waiting up for me to leave my PC now. Well then I should get a break.

Sincere Appreciation Gets Results

I read a story about the officer in the company who don’t want to listen to her staff’s stories and never showed any interest in their suggestive ideas. She always turned down immediately any ideas that she thinks is not good for the company. The result is they learned to stay away from her and never get in contact with her eyes when they’re talking. Her whole department has been cold to her and they feel that she has no emotions at all. She consulted her doctor that she’s receiving cold attitude among her staff and that’s when she was taught to be more human, to listen first to her staff and show a deeper sense of interest in what they’re saying or suggesting. She was asked to appreciate things done by her staff. You see one of the deepest needs of our human existence is the need to be appreciated.

Each and every one of us absolutely loves to be appreciated for who we are and what we do. Now that she learned how to appreciate things and people around her she was respected more by them. Not only that she was respected but they all smile at her the whole day. They can now look into her eyes directly and suggest their ideas for the company’s welfare. She feels happy changing her attitude.

Well I sincerely love this story as I can also apply it in my family. I must be aware always that I should appreciate every little thing that my kids will do for me and for the rest of us. It will help them boost their self-esteem and be confident in their actions. Since I started to be a Wahm I learned to focus on my kids’ changes in attitude as they grow up from little children to being a teener in few years time. Hope I’ll be able to appreciate every single effort they’ll be making in the future.

:Thursday Challenge - Round 'Alumni Balloon'

Thursday Challenge

for fun and learning

"ROUND" (Circle, Sphere, Curves, Moon, Clock, Coins,...)

Just find this balloon just right for the theme. What makes this balloon special? Because it's our balloon for our High School's 50th Golden Anniversary Alumni Homecoming - for our batch only. The speaker of the jubilee even remarked that our batch were having a birthday party as we're the only table with such nicely colored balloon and cake too! Anyway we feel very young then just like when we're in our high school days and to celebrate our grand get together someone from our group thought it will be nice to have these cute lavender balloons to go with our golden yellow shirts. Nice color combination.

Listen to Your Inner Voice

In our life we sometimes relied on other people’s comments and remarks to decide on the things we want to do. It’s always good to listen to our friends’ opinions but we should weigh things up before following advices and opinions, it’s your life and it’s you who knows what’s good for you. When you share your dreams and goals with those close to you – a change of career, starting a new business, going back to school and other new things in your life – you’re likely to hear a negative response. Don’t let others rain on your parade – instead, go for it. But be sure that you’ve prayed for it and asked for God’s sign if you’ll continue or not. Plans coupled with prayers give successful results.

Staying Up Late Again

It’s getting late again and I don’t want this bad habit of mine staying up late and feeling so inspired to write. I can really think and write so fast at night when everyone is sleeping and I have all the time to concentrate on my subject that is if I’m not sleepy. Anyway I should not overtire myself tonight because I’m going to attend our midweek bible study tomorrow and I don’t want seeing myself with protruding acne in the following days. I’m not that prone to acne and pimples but sometimes late nights cause my skin to develop one. I don’t want my little boy teasing me about it lol! Anyway I’m just thankful that blessings are pouring nowadays and I have plenty of writing tasks to do in the following days. I thank God for the providence.
