    Thank you very much for your visit to my blog. Yes your correct. We are responsible to our actions and motives and God can see all of our hearts too.

    Our greenhouses are doing okay no damages. Our lives back to normal now. Only a few trees been destroyed. The wind not the same in Compostela Valley in Mindanao Island. No flash floods here, and no body died too.

    I am glad your concerned about me. Thank you very much for your concerned. I was worried to all my friends in the US too when the Sandy hit your place. I just prayed that time for all the people in the US.

    Merry Christmas and advance happy new year to you.

    Sending you this belated but heartfelt THANK YOU for the comment left on my last blog. Wow, you really made some great observations about how many of us start out all gunho and then tend to lose steam once we've been here for a while. I have talked to another spark buddy about this very thing and am hoping to write more about it in the near future.
    In the meantime, you are spot on when you talk about how making even small changes in our routines can make a huge difference in our outcomes and I have taken your words to heart and consider them often as I go about my day. Sometimes its the simplest of things that can make the biggest difference in our lives.
    Thank you so much for your great insights!

    I LOVED reading the comment you left on my blog, and I have to tell you, you have just become my inspiration, as well. Wow! What a job you did with that room! The log-cabin decor sounds so warm and inviting and very much peaceful. Loved the detail and descriptions you shared. Wonderful!

    Well, I, too, gave a ton away, but also had a garage sale. Had it last week, Friday and Saturday. It was a beautiful day on Friday and I am sure I had over 300 customers. Poured rain all day on Saturday, but still sold quite a bit on the last day - I mean, considering there was little left over from Friday. Anyway, I actually made over a $1000.00!!!! Everyone was happy because my stuff was priced CHEAP. ALL clothes were 25 cents, didn't matter what it was ... even nearly brand new coats! All books 10 cents and so on. Well, what happened was this ..... the person who might have come and spent a dollar ended up spending more like 20 dollars, just because they knew they were getting great deals.
    Sure taught me a lesson about pricing. If ya really want to get rid of something or else you are going to give it away, then price it to sell from the get-go.
    Thanks for taking time to read my blog and for sharing your own cleaning out the house story with me. BEST OF LUCK with your continued progress!

    I phone my husband best friend here, and his best friend convinced my husband to go to the hospital because he is old and his body could not recover right away. But my husband still said no, he is all right even the truth he is dying. I said to my husband you such a plastic person. Dont want any body to worried about him, but here I am I almost crazy to think about his situation almost could not breath because of the coughing plus fever too hot. All advice here, I mentioned about it to my husband but it does not work. He said to me, he knows when its time to go to the doctor.

    This coming Monday, its time to go to the doctor. He decided to be check up by the doctor because its almost 2 weeks he is still sick. I will make blog again about my husband health soon.

    Thank you very much for the warm love, and concerned about my blog. I was worried because I really love my husband. You know I oaws a gratitude to all of you here who response my blog. Thank you very much.
