first healing mass for 2008. another first for this year.they say we ought to count our blessings. well, 2008 may have just started.. but i think it's never too early (nor too late) to start counting.
in spite of the not-so-good year-that-was, i still believe i have lots of blessings to count..
* i'm not financially rich.. but i'm not broke
* my schedule has been terribly hectic.. but somehow i cope
* i resented a very dear friend.. but we made up
* i'm not so happy.. but i'm seldom *really* depressed
* i get sick.. but nothing that can't be cured by rest
* so many household chores!!.. but slowly they get done
* had a "cold" holiday.. that's ok, coz i'm looking "hot" haha
* i still have no special someone.. but i can hope.. hahaha
yeah.. i can always hope :/ and speaking of counting.. here's a new year poem post. just to keep up with this day's theme.. haha..
How do I love thee?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
