2013 has proven to be full of surprises so far. Challenging. Full of choices. Ever-changing. And filled with blessings (some were in disguise).
I wouldn't say that I have come very far, because I didn't. But I feel proud of myself when I know that I have done things that I never had the guts to do in the past.
In January, I was depressed. Work, relationship, health. I was going through rough times.
In February, I was dumped by my longtime boyfriend (now obviously an unimportant ex) of four years for no apparent reason. I also had to give up one of my beloved doggies, Alffy, because of the break up.
In March, I celebrated my birthday, with lovely people. My awesome friends and family. I feel truly blessed in March. Things took a turn for the better. I also started driving! Yes, I can drive now, but still not very well. Have to drive more often. Hehehehe.
In April, I visited Tokyo, Japan! Along with my sister and our friend, we went on an all-single-girls trip. It was also the place I made a Japanese friend, Ryoji-san. April also was the month that something really good happened. My BFF started going after me, and yes, I am seeing him now.
In May, I FINALLY got the job I have always wanted. I got a promotion and that was probably the highlight of May. :D I also started going to church, which has indeed helped a lot in my well-being and in keeping me positive about myself and my life.
And now June, I fully assume the new role as a Subeditor. I have to go through the review process of six months and the probationary period again. I hope and pray for the best, that I will do well and successfully get off review before the six months end.
All-in-all, I just want to say that I am grateful, to have beautiful and supportive people in my life. From friends to family, from housemates to colleagues. Everyone has been nothing but kind to me, guiding me and lending me a helping hand when I need them.
I don't know what I am if I am not a blessed soul.
Contentment is indeed the source of long-term happiness.
