When I lived in the Philippines. I spent a great deal of summer and Christmas vacations in this tiny island. It is a place inhabited mainly by my mother's family. It is a place where relatives would get together to celebrate
. It is a place with big arms to welcome you. It is a place that my mother calls home. After 30 years of living in the US, and a year of traveling back and forth, my mother will make her final journey home.
It was her wish, it was her hope, so, Nanay maayong pagsakay. Ang Dios magauban kanimo.
Yesterday at church, the children heard a short sermon about the three wise men who "went home by another way." Lesson for the children is "finding a way to do things differently." And what better way to start something new than the new year. I am determined to do things differently: to eat healthier meals, to excercise for at least 20 minutes each day, to be mindful, and to make connections and build relationships. You see something happened in 2007 that was a cause for pause, which allowed me to rethink my priorities and all that. But it is still fresh in my heart and mind and for now this is all you need to know.
I am entering the world of blog with nothing much to say except this is all you need to know for now.
