A Beautiful Sighting

As I sat and savored the beauty of being up on the air and looking over the beauty of creation from a plane's window (on a Bacolod to Cebu flight) yesterday, September 10, 2010, I caught this beautiful sighting:

The shadow of the plane on the clouds over a rainbow

Awesome!

Thank you Lord for the gift of sight!

Three Steps to Asking for Forgiveness

2. "It's my fault."

3. "How do I make it right?"

The Youngest Santa Claus

The award goes to my 3-year old nephew, Damian who
goes out of his way to bring food for his friends.

He probably thinks there's an endless supply
where they come from.

Message to the Moon

Let the rain pour,
the sun shine
Embrace the stars.

Delicate Glass

Broken
Crushed
Smashed
Scattered

Walking quietly
Gathering gently
the shattered pieces

Miss Universe 2010 Question

Please allow me to join the bandwagon and answer one of the most talked about Miss Universe question these days .... at least in the Philippines - - -

What is one big mistake that you did in your life? And what did you do to make it right?

My one big mistake is not loving enough. And when I do love, it's not showing and expressing that love enough. Choosing to love and showing it is still a work-in-progress for me. Deciding to love unconditionally every moment is still a challenge. Recognizing this, I try to start with something easy - - - at home by loving my nephews and nieces. Just recently I reminded them to be good and if for some reason they think they have done something bad, they should remember not to fear coming home for at home love awaits them without judgment.

I wish it were that easy when it comes to dealing with adults.
Well, one step at a time and one loving moment at a time.

For after all, love is really all there is.

Love

Love
Be love
Be loved
Beloved.
