Tomorrow marks another year for me. Since my birthday almost always falls on the Holy Week, it is just apt to look back and reflect.
I never thought that at this age, I'd be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) to two toddlers. I used to think that by this time, I'd still be in the corporate jungle or be self-employed, making a name for myself.
It all began five years ago. I resigned from work then a week later, Vic and I found out that we're having our first-born. I didn't realize that several years later, I am still managing the home and anticipating the birth of our third child.
Though I still yearn to become a more successful person outside the home, I am glad that, in the future, I will not regret spending enough time with my family. There is comfort in knowing that I haven't failed (YET) in the most important thing.
I do miss the financial independence. Sometimes, I wonder, what I did with all the money I earned. I realized that I could've bought myself a new bag every month. I should've started with that fetish when I could still afford it. Nyahahaha.
Seriously, I am thankful that I still have the luxury to do what I want in life (travel, sing, shop, eat, bake, cook) and have a support system that understands the way I live my life. I am grateful that though we do not live in abundance we are still comfortable. We get by, without having to worry about too much. I thank God that I survived the trials he threw my way.
For the coming year/s, I pray that God continues to bless our home, our health and the people close to my heart. I do not wish for anything material, though God knows (and Vic knows) that it is very much welcome.
Hopefully, in the next few months I'd be able to fulfill and focus on one of the things I plan on doing. Sarado muna ang tindahan ni Cutty, okay?
Cheers!
