Thanks! To Mr. Health

I have decided to write letters to people and things I'm thankful for. I realized life is awesome and it would be a great exercise for us to say thank you for all the wonderful blessings we have! Let's all count our blessings because they will tell us that we have a lot of things in our lives to be happy about. I'm first thankful to God for all these different people and things He blessed me with. Optimism starts not within but with Him :)

I'm not feeling well right now so I want to address this letter to Health.

Dear Mr. Health

When I was younger, I often told myself that I wish I'd get sick tomorrow so I won't go to school. I also tell myself, I think I'm gonna be sick on a certain day which I have exams on. Up to now at work I sometimes tell that line, "I think I'll be sick on Monday" I regret saying those lines because being sick sucks. I'd rather be healthy and go through life than stay at home with a towel on my head. I'd rather go to school and learn something new than wanting to be sick. I don't want to get sick but what can I do? These things happen.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, I appreciate all those times when you kept me energized. Without you I won't be able to go outside and show love to other people. I can think of loving people but without action, my thoughts or words won't mean anything. There's a big difference between wanting things to happen and making things happen. You provide me with the ways to reach out to people. You play a huge role in my life and I praise God everyday because He blesses me with you. I still want to love, to serve and to reach out so I'm sorry for all those time where I tried to get rid of you. I appreciate you so much and I'll take care of myself even more.

Cheers,
Carlo

(1) WHY DO PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO SMOKING? It all starts with one try, "YB" and when we love the feeling, we're convinced that it is a source of SATISFACTION. However, when our level of satisfaction dwindles, we crave for the feeling once again, which causes us to further with the addiction. We tend to depend on it like OXYGEN. Cheers to non smokers! And more cheers to quitters! Why do we seek for things that will give us satisfaction that's merely fleeting, and surely leads to nothingness? What's sad is that even if we know it, WE DO IT. (2) THE SAME CYCLE GOES OUT FOR WEIGHTY THINGS such as drugs, alcohol and sex. These are things that are terribly OVERINDULGENT that once people fall into it, a cycle of search, satisfaction and emptiness is formed. What's more, when an addiction can no longer supply us with the level of satisfaction we yearn for, we move on to our next FLEETING FANCY, not knowing how further damaging it is to us, and to t...

Oh thanks for asking. You might’ve gotten worried about me because I haven’t written about anything for almost a year now. No need to worry, I’m still alive. Actually I’ve been wonderful. Lot’s have happened in my life for the past year. Let me give you an update. 1. I'm now engaged. Oh yes! You know the girl that I write about in most of my blogs? I’m now engaged to her. We are happily planning for our wedding happening in a year. We still need to save up for our dream wedding to push through. I can write tons about how our relationship grew and became more God centered. Surely I will share everything we learned in my upcoming entries. We’ve been through a lot of trials and challenges but God has surely blessed us with more wisdom, love, peace and joy. I did an awesome job proposing to her too! 2. My eldest brother got married He got married and the wedding was amazing. We did this dance for the reception and I discovered that I was completely hopeles...

Smile

I worked for some time in a coffee shop. On my first day behind the cash register, my boss just told me to do two things, “say thank you and SMILE” I’m good in following orders so that’s what I did throughout my shift. At the end of my shift my boss told me that people felt good because of my smile! According to them it was warm and welcoming. Since then I would always smile when faced with a customer. To smile is the simplest yet amazing thing you could do. Actually it’s one of the best things you could do for people as well. Smiling at them will make them feel good. It could make a stranger's day. It’s free and it feels good. What are your reasons to smile? I’ve come up with a list on reasons for me to smile right now. Knowing that my favorite hero “Wolverine” is Canadian Knowing that the movie “The Avengers” is almost out Knowing that I’ll be reunited with my family again Knowing that I have awesome friends all around the planet Just thinking of how wo...
