"It's important to acknowledge the hard parts -- and I think we all do -- but why not focus more on the lovely and the beautiful?" - Natalie Holbrook natthefatrat.com

Good morning, loves! Thanks for all the good thoughts, and well-wishes sent. Lots sure came our way. And today turned out to be one of the most amazing mornings I've had yet.

* Calm peaceful dreams.
* Goodmorning text message from KKK. <3
* Waking up at 11 o'clock, just in time for brunch.
* Leftover Firecracker Rolls, Tinapang Bangus with Rice, Lay's Kettle Cooked Jalapeno Crisps, and Coke: Yumm!
* Facebook messages from my sisters: Oh, TKM, how i've missed you! It's great to be able to talk to you and just chat on facebook. I've learned new things too, so shout-outs to sisters Carol and Dionne, formerly ackeckeckequek and The One. Hopefully, I'll be putting your advice to good use.
* Daily Midget Emails: my dear friends, you make me laugh so hard. new additions to the long laugh list i already have in my brain are the gems, "kamusta naman ang party ng lola mo?," "party na naging medical mission dahil lahat nagpakuha ng BP," "the secret 'it's not noodles, it's pasta' story," "dirty, flirty 30s."
* Reading lifestories in place of goals from Donald Miller
* Listening to The Good Stuff by Schuyler Fisk
* Realizing just now that 2010 was the end of a decade. Oh, wow!

and a few belated prayer of thanks to the good stuff this past week:

* Laughter from KKK, Joel, and Ebel.
* Dad's dog Budik getting well again. :)
* My mom's addiction to Japanese Miso Soup.
* Sick leaves for recuperating season-induced fevers!
* Clarity and courage in figuring out What. To. Do. Next.
* Pinterest! Iced White Chocolate Mocha, Steve Jobs, and Mormon Mommy blogs.

with plenty of good stuff to look forward to for the coming week:

* Really: Best Practice Meetings with the Team
* Really: Oh, goodness! Payday Friday

* Hopefully: Leftover Ube from Ebel's family's wonderful Tanay fiesta!
* Hopefully: Banchetto Dinner with KKK and Daddy S
* Hopefully: The Spa Deep Tissue Massage with KKK
* Hopefully: Videoke Dinner with Denise and GS friends
* Hopefully: Sunday Morning Run with bestfriend Amor

That's all for now, folks. Have a great week!
