Week In The Life 2012 - Day 4 {Wednesday}

Everyday, the Week In The Life Project is a revelation. I find meanings in things that I normally consider mundane.

When I was looking at the photos I captured today, I realized that things are somewhat opposite, as if telling me that life is about balance. Giving out and taking in.

Just like so ...

... before sunrise

... before sunset

... breakfast

... dinner

... essential

... optional

... beginning

... ending

... for body nourishment

... for mind nourishment

... ME time

...WE time.

Thank you for visiting.

Cheers,

Week In The Life 2012 - Day 3 {Tuesday}

Today is about ....

COLORS.

EARLY START.

CHOICES. {his}

 and {mine}

ORGANIZATION.

VARIETY.

BREAKS and PAUSES.

PRIORITIES.

ANTICIPATION. 

ROMANCE.

FAMILY {no matter how small}

BEING STILL.

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. And the other is as though everything is a miracle". I choose to believe in miracles. It made me appreciate things {big or small} better.

Week In The Life 2012 / Day Two {Monday}

"When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, "Certainly I can!"

Then get busy and find out how to do it." - Theodore Roosevelt

Every word from President Roosevelt's quote came to life today. A couple of days ago, I asked our VP for Marketing if I can work on a product  we are about to launch and as they say, "ask and you shall receive!" I spent the day on the road today meeting movers and shakers. They talked. I listened. We discussed. I learned.

ANTE MERIDIEM

• A quick breakfast in bed for my hubby who's nursing a severe back pain {yeah, wife duties are my favorites}
• A power suit for my appointments
• A train ride to downtown Union Station
• A productive first meeting in this bulding in Torornto
• A nice walk towards the subway station for the next appontment
• A short subway ride to Queens's Park

POST MERIDIEM

• A small window of opportunity to appreciate art  - "Women in Modern Times" - very appropriate
• A working lunch
• A quiet train ride back home
• A time to reflect the blessings and challenges of 4.24.12
• A healthy dinner
• A moment to be a wife again .... fulfilling, rewarding and lasting.

Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

Week In The Life 2012 / Day One {Sunday}

Okay here we go!

This is my first time to join the fun over at Ali Edward's "Week In The Life Project". At first I was debating if I will have the time to do it for 7 straight days.  But hey, I love chanllenges in any form and after a day of doing this, I am loving it!

I decided to make Sunday as my starting point since April 22 happened to be our sixteenth wedding anniversary. I thought it would be extra special to capture the memories of today in photos.

Word of the day: BLESSED

BLESSED to have a husband who loves me unconditionally and can make a killer vanilla hazelnut coffee

BLESSED to be able to worship freely with our vibrant Catholic community

 

BLESSED with a sold-out PRO-LIFE bake sale fund raising program

BLESSED with an "OK" singing voice to be able to lead the community during praise and worship

A truly BLESSED married life. Sixteen years after, we renewed our vows today.

No trace of sadness. Always with gladness. I do. Forever.

BLESSED to be living in a place were there are plenty of choices. Yes even cheeses are plenty!

BLESSED to treasure moments like this

BLESSED to find joy in simple things {This was our wedding anniversary dinner}

BLESSED with surprises even after sixteen years

BLESSED to be able to look back at the memories of yesterday and know that tomorrow will be a better reflection of what transpired today. {Looking at our wedding album, an anniversary tradition that makes me feel so blessed and loved and yes, older and a bit heavier *-* }

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!
