Today, I resume back to my work (from home) after a month of forced leave. Without the pandemic, I should have been in the Philippines now – to be specific in Boracay with #TheBELTS. . . enjoying the beach, the sun and my family. Should have been playing with my nephew – Grey! :) For now I’ll just stick to his videos on #GreyDiaries.
Apparently, the new normal for the past 1 and half month now has been limited to the four corners of our home. No I’m not complaining. :) hehe
In this post, I just want to enumerate some of the many things that I’m thankful and grateful.
That starts with TODAY.
Lord, THANK YOU FOR TODAY AND FOR EVERY-SINGLE-DAY that you have allowed me to wake up and see your blessings.
03-May-2020 | Today, I woke up at 6:00 am , dragged myself to walk around the DG community. It feels great to actually smell the “outside” and see trees and hear the birds chirping. Yes – we’re allowed to walk/jog/run around as long as we wear masks (gloves optional). At 8:00 am I’m now in front of my laptop – catching up old emails on my inbox to get updated with what’s happening at work.
