Wow, it's 2010. Happy happy New Year! What a celebration this year: illegal fireworks in the streets, karaoke and dancing on the porch and snacking, talking, laughing and crying until 4am in the morning. This is the way celebrations should be spent: with a zillion family members, lots of booze, lots of music, lots of dancing and lots of time spent catching up.
As the clock struck 12 last night, amid the bangs of home made fireworks and lucis lights, I remembered quiet New Year celebrations we've normally had in the US. Just the 4 of us, sharing hugs and kisses as the ball in New York's Times Square dropped midnight on TV. What an amazing moment it was last night to be here, in the Philippines, sharing smiles with everyone. There is nothing more beautiful than the feeling of belonging to these several dozen amazing people in our lives. Such a blessing.
I am so so THANKFUL. Thank You Lord for our health, our happiness and our joy. Life is so good.
