1 month down! (Day 30)

I've been blessed for a whole month with proof, baby! Wow there were times back there where it was so hard to blog or get myself to sit down and think hard about what to write. Sometimes it would feel boring, sometimes I'd get sad thinking that I couldn't think of a thing to list down, sometimes I felt shallow. But I realize, after one month (a long month at that), that we are conditioned by what we "believe" to be blessings. But if we just think about the joy in quiet mornings or nice text messages received, we slowly chip away at our selfish notions of what a "blessing" really is. Its still a journey for me but I think that i'm chipping away a little bit everyday.

Glad you're still here to read:

Day 30

1. I made it to Day 30! Even if internet is hard to get these days, that I come home tired and spent, that I can't seem to come up with a short entry, I have made it to Day 30. I aplogize for all the backlog but at least now I am more determined to get started on Month 2! Thanks to the guys who have been reminding me to keep blogging when I fall behind! Thanks to the Lord who has been giving me the inspiration to keep at this!

2. Happy Birthday, my trainee. I'm glad he got to graduate from the management trainee program a little before his birthday! I'm blessed to have a smart, hard-working, and funny team mate who is serious about his faith and his family. God sends us angels or helpers to help get us through the challenging portions of our life knowing we can't do it on our own, this guy is that helper in my work.

3. Found out I'm working with an old friend. We're doing a project now and I was surpised to find out that one of the suppliers is an old friend of mine. Very cool! Nice to be giving business to a friend and having someone very qualified across the table to discuss work with. Truly a convenience in stressful times!

4. Had my first meeting in this new big role in the community. I was afraid at first about being with big names. I tried my best to be early or at least on time but office work kept me in my chair 45 minutes longer than I hoped. The roads weren't empty either. The group turned out to be a fun and un-stiff one so I had a great time. I felt comfortable speaking my mind and I even enjoyed dinner :) Good start :)
