FiNdInG PeAcE and CoMfOrt in SpIrItUaLiTy...

As I was looking back for the things happened in 2008. I end up having this thought that every year, in most part my spirituality plays a big role in my life. The many blessings that I received and the challenges that I've surpassed.

But, having this thought still some of us have this question in mind. "Does spirituality keeps me well? Do you make it us part of your life?

Ok, let me share with you guys this, did you know that people who attend religious services tend to be healthier than those who are not? :) Owwwwwsss? I know some of you are raising eyebrow...:) But this is according to the report of some people who did a study between health and spirituality.

So, does that mean church goers have longer life? :)Is church a healing place? I hope I can have that emote icon here of laughing out loud.:) Meaning they're God's favorites?! (wondering!) I know God has no favoritism. :)

With all these questions, the faithful will say of course claimed that and believed on that and will say AMEN to that!!! But wait, scientist points out that religious people often take care of themselves better. They don't abuse themselves on drinking, smoking and dwelling on emotional baggages. They're more socially inclined, they have more friends and acquaintances that serves as their support systems, to help them cope with stressful life events.

And it's not only a one way process each of their friend's concern has an effect on each other. Don't get me quote on this ..that means sometimes you learned and get inspired with other life experiences.

So, are we clear now about this that it's not that church goers, people who attend religious services are God's fave. :)

Bottom line is we should never taken for granted our spirituality our love, hope and faith to our God. For me I can say that it helps me a lot to carry through with my dreams, goals and daily battles of life. :)

Praying, meditating and attending religious activities and services. May not cure a diseases, but having my spirituality and religious activities makes me feel better and contribute more with my positive outlook in life and bubbly self.

So, it's always been a blessing to be surrounded by great and supportive people from in and out of my Singles for Christ community, so even far away from them I'll always will have peace and comfort with my spirituality.

Let's look forward to great 2009! Happy New Year and may God be praised!

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

Halloween, Undas or All Souls/Saints Day!

Back in the Philippines , we’re not used to celebrating Halloween like here in the US, where people wear costumes, decorates their houses with Halloween stuff and kids go trick or treating; and every household prepare candies.:) Though, there are some in the Philippines celebrate Halloween, but it’s not very common to us Filipinos. We celebrate this event by remembering our dead loved ones. We usually call it Undas is the Filipinized version of All Saints/Souls Day. This is a national celebration, a time of year where for most of us Filipinos consider as Family reunion. :) We like family gatherings. :) We often go to the cemetery and clean the graveyards and paint the tombs of our loved ones, also we offer prayers, flowers and prayers. Like me, I've always look forward to this celebration, being with the whole family, to take time of from work, especially with people who work far away from home, this is a great opportunity for them to visit family and definitely enjoy famil...
