It is one of my favorite days of the week again … thankful Thursday!
These past few days has been kind of hectic for me and my family; the passing of my FIL (I honestly still can’t imagine him being gone …), the “settling down” (just a bit, since preparations are already on the way for the 40days [after death] novena), my hubby being away for almost a week because of his job, the house sprouting out a leak (eeek! ), and to top it all, my son’s exam was rescheduled for this week because of the typhoon!

BUT HEY! This is supposed to be a Thankful Thursday, not the opposite.

So here is my short - but sweet (i hope! lol) - list:

• I thank the Lord for giving me the strength (emotionally) to deal with a family’s passing.
• That my son, even if we didn’t get to review his lessons over the weekend, was confident enough to take his exam; I did get to review him a day before, and he answered my questions -all of them- correctly!
• I am thankful that hubby, even if he is the youngest in his family, is taking some of the responsibilities that my FIL had; and even if sometimes it seems overwhelmingly difficult for him (because he is busy with his job), he still does his best. One time, he even said,” I felt like I had to mature overnight!” … All i could do was just hug him.
• …. and lastly, I am thankful that in spite of all the things happening, our family is still together; made stronger by what we just went through. I know we will grow stronger, with God’s long-lasting blessings …

I’m nobody! Who are you?
by Emily Dickinson

I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us — don’t tell!
They ‘d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

…. Interesting poem by Emily Dickinson

Took this shot when we visited a mini (because it was relatively small) zoo. The zoo wasn’t really that awesome, but what I like about the place was that they had these big posters (about the animals) and an occasional trivia regarding zoo animals.

I believe that sign says alot!

Have you every heard of texty.com? It’s absolutely a great site where you can make minor changes to your texts on your website, without the hassles of opening an FTP connection or testing for code issues! All you have to do is input the text on the webpage which they’ll be providing, then copy and paste the texty that you created into your HTML source code. You can edit your texty anytime, at the site. Now, wasn’t that easy?

Texty is the Simplest CMS there is! That’s what SCMS means, after all: simple content management syndication. Below is a simple sample that I made:

You try it, too!
